A Phase II Trial of the Combination of OSI-774 (ERLOTINIB; NSC-718781) and Bevacizumab (Rhumab VEGF; NSC-704865) in Stage IIIB and IV Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma (BAC) and Adenocarcinoma With BAC Features (ADENOBAC)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating bevacizumab and erlotinib hydrochloride for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 148 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
