  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. 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 also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy together with bevacizumab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare overall survival of patients with completely resected stage IB (tumors ≥ 4cm)-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab.

Secondary

  • Compare disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
  • Perform analyses of tissue and blood to establish factors that predict clinical outcome in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine whether smoking status is linked to outcome in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to type of chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine ditartrate vs cisplatin/docetaxel vs cisplatin/gemcitabine hydrochloride), stage (IB vs II vs IIIA [N2] vs IIIA [T3, N1]), histology (squamous cell vs other), and gender. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I (adjuvant chemotherapy without bevacizumab): Patients receive 1 of 3 chemotherapy regimens.

    • Regimen 1: Patients receive vinorelbine ditartrate IV over 10 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1.
    • Regimen 2: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1.
    • Regimen 3: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1.

In all regimens, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Arm II (adjuvant chemotherapy with bevacizumab): Patients receive chemotherapy as in arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 1 year.

Patients complete smoking status questionnaires at baseline and then every 3 months during study treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,500 patients will be accrued for this study.
