Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab in Combination With Pemetrexed as Second Line Therapy in Patients With Stable Brain Metastases From Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (Excluding Squamous Cell Carcinoma)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, and 3 other interventions for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This trial evaluated the safety of combining bevacizumab and pemetrexed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with stable brain metastases as second-line chemotherapy, while evaluating progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
