Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test whether the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib can prolong progression free survival as compared with erlotinib alone as first-line treatment in patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating mutation of EGFR.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Drug: Erlotinib Drug: Bevacizumab Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The co-primary objectives are to assess investigator-assess, and blinded independent centrally-reviewed progression-free survival .

  3. number of patients with complete and partial responses , investigator assessed [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
  4. number of patients with complete and partial responses , centrally reviewed [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
  5. worst grade toxicity per patient [ Time Frame: up to one year ]
  6. progression free survival according to type of EGFR mutation (exon 19del, exon 21L858R, other) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

Other Outcome Measures:
