Arms and Interventions

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Carboplatin and gemcitabine + bevacizumab
Carboplatin (AUC 4 mg/mL/minute) was administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each of six 21-day treatment cycles. The carboplatin dose was calculated to reach a target area under the curve (AUC) of concentration x time according to the Calvert formula. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 was administered IV on Days 1 and Day 8 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg was administered IV on Day 1 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. The bevacizumab dose was based on the patient's weight at baseline and remained the same throughout the study.
 Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin was provided as commercially available drug.

Drug: Gemcitabine
Gemcitabine was provided as commercially available drug.

Drug: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab was supplied as a clear to slightly opalescent, sterile liquid in glass vials (400 mg in 8 mL [25 mg/mL]) with a vehicle consisting of sodium phosphate, trehalose, polysorbate 20, and Sterile Water for Injection, USP.
Other Name: Avastin
Active Comparator: Carboplatin and gemcitabine + placebo
Carboplatin (AUC 4 mg/mL/minute) was administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each of six 21-day treatment cycles. The carboplatin dose was calculated to reach a target area under the curve (AUC) of concentration x time according to the Calvert formula. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 was administered IV on Days 1 and Day 8 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. Placebo was administered by IV on Day 1 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles.
 Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin was provided as commercially available drug.

Drug: Gemcitabine
Gemcitabine was provided as commercially available drug.

Drug: Placebo
Placebo consisted of the vehicle for bevacizumab without the antibody and contained sodium phosphate, trehalose, polysorbate 20, and Sterile Water for Injection, USP.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ Time Frame: From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) ]
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to disease progression (PD), as determined by the investigator, or death due to any cause. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started; the appearance of 1 or more new lesions; and/or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Patients With an Objective Response as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ Time Frame: From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) ]
    An objective response was the occurrence of either a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.

  2. Duration of Objective Response (OR) as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ Time Frame: From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) ]
    Duration of OR was analyzed in the subset of patients who achieved an OR. The duration of OR was defined as the time from the initial CR or PR until documented PD or death. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.

  3. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization through July 19, 2013 (up to 6 years, 3 months) ]
    Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

  4. Percentage of Patients Who Had a Gastrointestinal Perforation (GIP) [ Time Frame: From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) ]
    A gastrointestinal perforation is a hole that develops through the entire wall of the stomach, small intestine, large bowel, or gallbladder.

  5. Percentage of Patients Who Had at Least 1 Adverse Event [ Time Frame: From randomization through July 19, 2013 (up to 6 years, 3 months) ]
