Brief Summary

This is a phase II, single institution trial for patients with clinical Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC (T1-3N0-2M0) who have resectable lung tumors. The primary goal of this study is to show that the addition of bevacizumab to a cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for non-squamous cell carcinomas improves the rate of pathologic downstaging, which correlates with survival. Downstaging is defined as any decrease in the final pathologic stage compared with the clinical stage before induction therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The Primary Goal of This Study is to Show That the Addition of Bevacizumab to Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy in the Neoadjuvant Setting for Non-squamous Cell Carcinomas Improves Therapeutic Response/Outcome Assessment.

  These criteria have been modified for the purpose of this study (i.e.: there will be no confirmation of response at 4 weeks per usual response criteria as this is not applicable to the preoperative treatment plan): Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all clinical evidence of tumor. Partial Response (PR): A 50% or greater decrease in the sum of the products of measured lesions. No simultaneous increase in the size of any lesion or the appearance of new lesions may occur. Non-measurable lesions must remain stable or regress for this category. Minor Response (MR): A \> 25% and \< 50% decrease in the sum of the products of measured lesions. No simultaneous increase in the size of any lesion or the appearance of new lesions may occur. Non-measurable lesions must remain stable or regress for this category. Stable Disease (SD): A less than 25% decrease. This includes a decrease of less than 25% in the sum of the products of the meas

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pre-Surgical Docetaxel and Cisplatin and Adjuvant Bevacizumab

Drug: Pre-Surgical Docetaxel and Cisplatin and Adjuvant Bevacizumab

Interventions

Pre-surgical Treatment with Bevacizumab plus Chemotherapy DRUG

On Cycle 1 Day 1,patient will receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg. On Cycle 1 Day 15, patients receive docetaxel (75 mg/m2), cisplatin (75 mg/m2). Cycle 2 begins 21 days after administration of docetaxel and cisplatin in Cycle 1. In Cycles 2 thru 3, patients will receive 2 preoperative 21-day cycles of docetaxel (75 mg/m2), cisplatin (75 mg/m2), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg), all given on Day 1 of each cycle. The sequence of administration will be docetaxel, followed by cisplatin, followed by bevacizumab according to MSKCC Chemotherapy Guidelines. In Cycle 4 Day 1, patients will receive docetaxel (75 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2). Bevacizumab will not be given with Cycle 4. During Cycle 4, the only scheduled clinic visit will be on Day 1. Surgery will occur at least 42 days after the last treatment with bevacizumab. Every attempt will be made to administer the treatment on schedule. The treatment may be given +/- 3 days, and additionally 2 weeks after it is scheduled, if necessary.

A

Pre-Surgical Docetaxel and Cisplatin and Adjuvant Bevacizumab DRUG

Patients will receive preoperative 21-day cycles of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and docetaxel (75 mg/m2) both given on Day 1 of each cycle.Patients will undergo repeat CT imaging after 2 cycles of therapy and patients with at least 10% reduction in bidimensional tumor volume will receive 2 additional neoadjuvant cycles of therapy (total 4 cycles of therapy).Surgery will occur at least 4 weeks after the last treatment with docetaxel and cisplatin.Adjuvant bevacizumab (15 mg/kg q21 days for 1 year, total 18 cycles) will be administered to all patients who undergo resection. Adjuvant bevacizumab will begin between days 42 and 56 after surgery.Patients may be referred for post-operative radiation therapy at the discretion of the treating physician. Every attempt will be made to administer the treatment on schedule. The treatment may be given +/- 3 days, and additionally 2 weeks after it is scheduled, if necessary.
