Trial Outcomes & Findings for Erlotinib and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage IV Melanoma (NCT NCT00466687)

NCT ID: NCT00466687

Last Updated: 2013-07-22

Results Overview

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST): Progressive disease (PD): \>=20% increase in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesion(s), taking as reference smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started. Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): \>=30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesion(s), taking as reference baseline sum LD. Stable disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify as PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as PD.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 6 months

Population: Patients for whom a response could be determined. Three patients were not available for measurement of response: no data (2) and toxicity (1).

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST): Progressive disease (PD): \>=20% increase in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesion(s), taking as reference smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started. Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): \>=30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesion(s), taking as reference baseline sum LD. Stable disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify as PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as PD.

Measure
Tarceva/Avastin

Study drugs are administered on a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles: Tarceva 150 mg by mouth per day and Avastin 10 mg/kg of body weight intravenously (IV) on days 1 and 15.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to one year after off-study date

Population: Patients with disease progression. Six patients were not available for determination to progression: no data (5) and toxicity (1).

Time from on study date to date of progression in months, if the progression happened in the patient. Disease progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions with reference to the smallest sum LD since treatment began or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Progression-free Survival at 6 Months
7 participants
Interval 1.0 to 28.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 of each 28-day cycle for 6 cycles (168 days)

Population: Patients who received the study drug and who experienced a toxicity. Eleven patients did not experience any toxicity and are therefore not included in the analyzed population for this outcome measure.

Number of patients with worst-grade toxicity at each of five grades following National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria with grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe, grade 4 = life-threatening/disabling, 5 = death.
