A Comparison of Continuous Bevacizumab (Avastin) Treatment or Placebo in Addition to Lomustine Followed by Standard of Care After Disease Progression in Participants With Glioblastoma
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomised, Phase II Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Addition of Continuous Multiple Line Bevacizumab Treatment to Lomustine in Second (2nd)-Line Followed by Standard of Care (SOC) in Third (3rd)-Line and Beyond Compared to Addition of Placebo, Following First Progression of Disease (PD1) in Patients With Glioblastoma (GBM) After First (1st)-Line Treatment With Radiotherapy, Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Brief Summary
This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of bevacizumab treatment to lomustine (in 2nd-line \[2L\] treatment) and SOC (in 3rd-line \[3L\] and subsequent lines of treatment) following first-line disease progression (PD1) in participants with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. All enrolled participants will receive 1L treatment with radiotherapy, temozolomide, and bevacizumab. At PD1, eligible participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive 2L treatment with either bevacizumab plus lomustine or placebo plus lomustine. After second-line disease progression (PD2), participants will receive 3L treatment and will continue blinded bevacizumab or placebo with the addition of an SOC agent. Following third-line disease progression (PD3), participants will receive subsequent lines of treatment and will either continue blinded bevacizumab or placebo (at the discretion of the investigator), or switch to open-label bevacizumab (at the choice of the participant).

Study Arms (2)
First-Line Bevacizumab followed by Bevacizumab + Lomustine/SOC
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive first-line treatment with radiotherapy, temozolomide, and bevacizumab. All three treatments will be given concurrently for the first 6 weeks, followed by 6 cycles (28 days each) of temozolomide plus bevacizumab, followed by bevacizumab monotherapy until PD1 or unacceptable toxicity. At PD1, participants randomized to bevacizumab will receive bevacizumab plus lomustine until PD2. Following PD2, participants will continue with blinded bevacizumab with the addition of appropriate SOC. Following PD3, for subsequent treatment lines blinded bevacizumab may continue or open-label bevacizumab may be given at the discretion of the investigator and the participant.
First-Line Bevacizumab followed by Placebo + Lomustine/SOC
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants will receive first-line treatment with radiotherapy, temozolomide, and bevacizumab. All three treatments will be given concurrently for the first 6 weeks, followed by 6 cycles (28 days each) of temozolomide plus bevacizumab, followed by bevacizumab monotherapy until PD1 or unacceptable toxicity. At PD1, participants randomized to placebo will receive placebo plus lomustine until PD2. Following PD2, participants will continue with blinded placebo with the addition of appropriate SOC. Following PD3, for subsequent treatment lines blinded bevacizumab may continue or open-label bevacizumab may be given at the discretion of the investigator and the participant.
Interventions
Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) every 2 weeks (Q2W) throughout the study, with the exception of bevacizumab monotherapy prior to PD1, which will be given as 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (Q3W).
Lomustine will be administered at a dose of 90 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) orally (PO) every 6 weeks (Q6W), with a cap of 160 milligrams (mg) per dose. In the absence of hematologic toxicity following the first dose, the second and subsequent doses may be increased to 110 mg/m\^2 PO Q6W, with a cap of 200 mg per dose.
Placebo will be administered via IV infusion, in a formulation matched to bevacizumab, Q2W after randomization.
Radiotherapy will be administered for a total dose of 60 Gray (Gy), administered in 2-Gy fractions, 5 days per week for 6 weeks during first-line treatment.
Temozolomide will be administered orally (PO) as 75 mg/m\^2 per day for the first 6 weeks of first-line treatment (concurrent treatment), followed by 6 cycles (28 days each) as follows: 150 mg/m\^2 per day for the first 5 days of Cycle 1, then 200 mg/m\^2 per day (if permitted by the participant's hematological and non-hematological toxicity profile) for the first 5 days of Cycles 2-6.
The choice of SOC agent will be at the discretion of investigator. The SOC agent will be administered during third-line treatment and subsequent lines, as per standard practice.
