Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine progression free survival (PFS) of patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC harbouring at diagnosis EGFR mutations with and without T790M mutation, treated with the combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab. Hypotheses of interest: When treated with bevacizumab and erlotinib a. Median PFS increases to 18 months for patients with EGFR T790M mutation b. Median PFS is approximately 18 months or more in patients without EGFR T790M mutation.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate secondary measures of clinical efficacy including overall survival (OS), time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DR). - To assess the safety and the tolerability of the erlotinib and bevacizumab combination. - To evaluate the correlation of BRCA1 mRNA and AEG-1 mRNA expression and T790M with progression-free survival. - To monitor EGFR mutations (including T790M) in serum and plasma longitudinally. - To evaluate molecular biomarkers related to EGFR TKI and bevacizumab. - To determine the feasibility of re-biopsies at the time of progression and geneexpression arrays for decision-making for second-line treatment - To study the feasibility of recommending customized second-line chemotherapy based on BRCA1 and AEG-1 mRNA levels.;Primary end point(s): - Progression-free survival (PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrolment until documented progression or death, whichever occurs first);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The final evaluation will be done within 6 months after the last visit of the last patient, approximately 54 months after the inclusion of the first patient.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Overall survival (OS) - Time to treatment failure (TTF) - Objective response (OR) - Adverse events graded according to CTCAE V4.0 - Disease control (DC) - Duration of response (DR);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The final evaluation will be done within 6 months after the last visit of the last patient, approximately 54 months after the inclusion of the first patient.
