E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.0 In order to be eligible for this trial, patients must have undergone complete resection of their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [stage IB (≥/= 4 cm) - IIIA (T2-3N0, T1-3N1, T1-3N2) prior to enrollment. (Refer to Appendix X for staging guidelines per AJCC 6th edition). Accepted types of resection will consist of lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, bi-lobectomy or pneumonectomy. Resections by segmentectomy or wedge resection will not be accepted. Mediastinal lymph node sampling at specified levels is required pre-operative (mediastinoscopy) or intraoperatively (level 7 and 4 for right sided tumors or level 7 and 5 and/or 6 for left sided tumors). Please refer to Section 5 for specific details on lymph node level sampling requirements and resection criteria.
2.0 Patients must be no less than 6 weeks (42 days) and no more (84 days) than 12 weeks post-thoracotomy at the time of randomization and must be adequately recovered from surgery.
3.0 Age ≥ 18 years.
4.0 ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
5.0 Patients must not have received the following:
5.1 Prior systemic chemotherapy at any time. Methotrexate (MTX) given in low doses for non-malignant conditions with last dose at least 2 weeks prior to date of registration will be allowed. Other low dose chemotherapeutics for non-malignant conditions will be considered, but review by the study chair is required.
5.2 Hormonal cancer therapy or radiation therapy as prior cancer treatment within 5 years of randomization. (Prior surgery, biologic therapy, hormonal therapy, or radiation therapy for a malignancy over 5 years prior to enrollment that is now considered cured is acceptable.)
6.0 Patients must not have any history of cancer within 5 years from randomization, with the exception of in-situ carcinoma of the cervix or completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer.
7.0 Required laboratory values obtained within two weeks of randomization:
ANC ≥ 1500 mm3
Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
Prothrombin time/INR ≤ 1.5
Or, if patient is on therapeutic anticoagulation, prothrombin time/INR ≤ 3.0
PTT ≤ institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) OR, if patient is on therapeutic anticoagulation, PTT must be ≤ 1.5 x ULN
Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
SGOT (AST) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
SGPT (ALT) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
8.0 Patients must have adequate renal function as determined by the following tests within 2 weeks prior to randomization:
Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
Urine protein should be screened by urine analysis for Urine Protein Creatinine (UPC) ratio. For UPC ratio > 0.5, 24-hour urine protein must be obtained and the level must be < 1000 mg (1g) for patient enrollment.
9.0 Patients with a known history of myocardial infarction or other evidence of arterial thrombotic disease (angina) will be allowed on study only if they have had no evidence of active disease for at least 12 months prior to randomization.
10.0 Patients with any history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) will not be allowed on trial.
11.0 Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to potential harm to the fetus or infant from cytotoxic chemotherapy and the unknown risk from bevacizumab. It is also unknown if these agents are excreted into breast milk.
All females of childbearing potential must have a blood or urine test within 2 weeks prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy.
12.0 All patients must have a documented BP with systolic < 150 and diastolic < 90 within 28 days of registration. Patients with known hypertension must be on a stable regimen of anti-hypertensive therapy.
13.0 Patients who will receive pemetrexed/cisplatin therapy must meet all eligibility criteria as well as the following:
13.1 Patients must NOT have squamous cell histology
13.2 Calculated Creatinine Clearance must be obtained within 2 weeks of randomization and calculated CrCl must be ≥ 45mL/min using the standard Cockcroft and Gault formula (see Appendix III) or the measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the appropriate radiolabeled method (51-CrEDTA or Tc99m-DTPA) must be used to calculate CrCl. |
