Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pemetrexed Disodium, Gemcitabine, and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT00438204)

NCT ID: NCT00438204

Last Updated: 2021-04-13

Results Overview

RECIST criteria for tumor progression of at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions).
