EU CTIS ID: 2024-516843-15-00
What this study is testing
The purpose of this study is to test whether the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib can prolong progression free survival as compared with erlotinib alone as first-line treatment in patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating mutation of EGFR.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Age ≥18 years • Histologic documentation of primary non squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma • Stage IV or IIIB disease with supraclavear metastatic nodes (according to TNM 7th edition) • Activating epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (exon19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation or other activating/sensitizing mutations, such as exon 21 L861Q, exon 18 G719S, G719A and G719C, exon 20 S768I and V769L). EGFR mutation testing must be performed at participating centres in a certified lab (AIOM-SIAPEC program or other European Quality Assurance [EQA] schemes) • Clinical or radiologic evidence of disease (at least one target or non target lesion according to RECIST 1.1) • ECOG performance status 0 to 2 • Life expectancy > 3 months • Use of an acceptable mean of contraception for men and women of childbearing potential • Written informed consent
You likely can't join if
- • EGFR T790M mutation alone or exon 20 insertions as unique mutation • Tumors with a squamous component • Prior chemotherapy or any other medical treatment for advanced NSCLC (previous neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if > 6 months previously) • Radiotherapy to any site for any reason within 28 days prior to randomization (palliative radiotherapy to bone lesions is allowed if ≥ 14 days before randomization) • Pregnancy or nursing • Concomitant pathologies or laboratory alterations or concomitant medications use that prevent or contraindicate the use of erlotinib or bevacizumab
