Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Survival (OS) Among All Randomized Patients
Overall Survival was defined as the period from the date of randomization until the date of patient death from any cause. For patients who had not died, survival data was censored at the date of last contact.
From the date of randomization until the date of patient death from any cause, or the date of last contact. (Up to 3.1 years)
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
From randomization to documented disease progression or death on study treatment, whichever occurred first. (Up to 3.1 years)
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response
The median duration of Objective response was up to 9.7 months
Duration of Objective Response
Period from Objective response until disease progression or death on study treatment. (Up to 29.5 months)
Study Arms (2)
erlotinib HCl + bevacizumab
EXPERIMENTALoral erlotinib HCl 150 mg/day orally + intravenous infusion of bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle
erlotinib HCl + placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORoral erlotinib HCl 150 mg/day orally + intravenous infusion of placebo at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle
Interventions
intravenous infusion of bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle
intravenous infusion of placebo at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle
