Study Design:	Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	Phase II Study of the Combination of Bevacizumab Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Further study details as provided by Istituto Clinico Humanitas:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Time to progression (TTP) from first day of treatment until first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause or the last date the patient was known to be progression free or alive. [ Time Frame: At the end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Response rate (RR) assessed according to modified RECIST criteria for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma. [ Time Frame: Two months after the end of enrollment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Overall survival (OS) computed as the time between the first day of treatment and the date of death or the last date the patient was known to be alive. [ Time Frame: At the end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	77
Study Start Date:	September 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	June 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Intervention Details:

Bevacizumab: 15 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes, following chemotherapy, on Day 1 every 3 weeks
Pemetrexed: 500 mg/m2 intravenous infusion over 10 minutes on Day 1 every 3 weeks
Carboplatin: AUC 5 intravenous infusion over 1 hour on Day 1 every 3 weeks

Detailed Description:

Secondary endpoints are to evaluate:

the objective response rate (RR) of the combination;
the toxicity and the safety profile of the combination;
the duration of response (RD) and time to treatment failure (TTF);
the overall survival (OS)
RR, TTP and OS according to baseline plasma VEGF levels (introduced with Amendment 1 dated 8/11/2007)
