PFS was defined as the interval from the date of randomization until the earlier date of progression or death. Progression was assessed by independent imaging reviewers using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria which is 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions from nadir (the lowest blood counts); measurable increase in non-target lesion; appearance of new lesions.
pharmacokinetic study
Time in months from start of study treatment to first randomization date of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. PFS was calculated as (first event date minus the first randomization date plus 1) divided by 30.4. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease \[PD\]), or from adverse event (AE) data (where the outcome was "Death").
Percentage of participants with objective response (OR) based assessment of confirmed complete response(CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all lesions and no appearance of new lesions. Confirmed PR defined as \>=30 percent (%) decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD , without progression of nontarget lesions and no appearance of new lesions. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study \>=4 weeks after initial documentation of response.
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
TEAEs are events that occurred on or after initial treatment that were absent before treatment or worsened during the treatment period relative to the pretreatment state. AEs that occurred within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment can be attributed to the treatment period.
TEAEs are events that occurred on or after initial treatment that were absent before treatment or worsened during the treatment period relative to the pretreatment state. AEs that occurred within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment can be attributed to the treatment period. National Cancer Institute (NCI)-graded Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) provides descriptive terminology for adverse event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event term. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death).
Deaths were reported from baseline throughout the 30 day period after last study treatment. After the 30 day reporting period, only deaths believed related to study treatment were to be reported (as SAEs).
SAEs include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability / incapacity or are a congenital anomaly or birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Participants with documented study treatment toxicity were followed weekly until recovering. After the 30 day reporting period, only SAEs believed to be related to study treatment were to be reported.
Temporary interruption of study treatment; may be followed by resumption of study treatment at current dose or dose modification as determined by the investigator and medical monitor.
Dose reduction for individual participant allowed if a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred; may continue treatment following reduction by 1 to 2 dose levels (determined by investigator and medical monitor). DLT= failure to recover to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI-CTCAE) version 3.0 grade 0 to 2 (or within 1 grade of starting values for pre-existing laboratory abnormalities) from a treatment-related toxicity within 3 weeks (leading to a treatment delay of \>3 weeks) unless investigator and medical monitor agree participant should remain in the study.
Number of participants who met the criteria for PCI changes (based on baseline values before treatment); criteria defined as body temperature \>39 degrees Celsius (C), respiratory rate \>20 beats per minute (bpm), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) \>200/110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Participants may be reported in more than 1 category.
Number of participants who met the PCI criteria (grades 1 through 5) for laboratory values (hematology and serum chemistry). NCI-CTC provides descriptive terminology for adverse event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided with grades ranging from 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening or disabling), to 5 (death). Participants may be reported in more than 1 category.
Measured as Complete response (CR), Very good partial response (VGPR), or Partial response (PR) on at least 2 occasions greater than or equal to (\>=) 4 weeks apart within first 12 weeks. CR=disappearance of all primary and metastatic lesions; Homovanillic acid, Vanillymandelic acid (HVA/VMA) normal; bone marrow immunocytology negative. VGPR=disappearance of all metastatic lesions (residual areas of uptake on bone permitted); 90 to 99 percent (%) decrease in primary disease measurement; HVA/VMA normal or both decreased \>90%. PR=at least 50% decrease in primary and metastatic disease. Number of bone sites decreased by at least 50%.

Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody studied in oncology for several solid tumor types, including metastatic colorectal cancer, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma. It is also known as Avastin. It is an investigational agent in the clinical development programs described here and has been evaluated in randomized, active-controlled trials.
Bevacizumab targets VEGFA, a vascular endothelial growth factor. It is classified as an inhibitor of this target. By binding VEGFA, the antibody is designed to interfere with vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, a pathway involved in tumor blood vessel formation and growth.
Bevacizumab is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades under the ticker PFE. The company is listed as the developer of the clinical programs evaluating the drug across colorectal, lung, and renal cancer indications.
Bevacizumab is in clinical development, with Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies reported. The trials listed are completed, and no active trials are currently recorded. It is investigational and is not described as approved in this program data.
Completed studies include NCT02821559, a Phase 2 trial of biweekly versus triweekly raltitrexed with oxaliplatin with or without bevacizumab in first-line metastatic colorectal cancer, and NCT00631371, a Phase 3 study comparing bevacizumab plus temsirolimus versus bevacizumab plus interferon-alfa in advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Yes, Bevacizumab is also known as Avastin. The names refer to the same monoclonal antibody, and trial titles in this program use both forms, including references to bevacizumab (Avastin). Searches for either name point to the same agent.
