Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bevacizumab With or Without Interferon Alfa in Treating Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma (NCT NCT00026221)

NCT ID: NCT00026221

Last Updated: 2016-03-17

Results Overview

Measured from the time measurement criteria are met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented. Evaluated using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Objective Response (OR) = CR + PR.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 years

Defined as the time from treatment start date until documentation of progressive disease. Evaluated using the new international criteria proposed by the RECIST Committee. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
