Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

overall survival
12 months, 24 months
progression free survival
until cut-off date established from deaths rate

Progression free survival was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of first disease progression (as assessed by Independent Radiologic Review (IRR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria), or the date of death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. In the absence disease progression or death, the participant was censored at the date of the last valid tumor assessment performed before the cut-off date.

To determine the relative efficacy, safety and clinical benefit of the GEMOX regimen compared to the standard combination regimen of CP as first-line treatment of Stage IIIB and IV NSCLC
22 months
pathologic complete response
4 months
Two year overall survival
two years
Clinical benefit rate
until cut-off date established so that all patients were evaluable for primary outcome measure

Clinical benefit rate was defined as the percentage of patients with complete response, partial response or stable disease ≥6 months.

To determine the overall survival (OS) rate at 1 year in this patient population, treated with the combination therapy of bevacizumab plus gemcitabine and oxaliplatin
One year
Efficacy: Tumor response rate based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumour (RECIST) criteria
Baseline to end of study
Safety: Clinical and laboratory criteria
Baseline to end of study
The incidence of adverse events based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0

Stratum 1ACTIVE_COMPARATORSubjects will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation to either GEMOX or CP after signed consents and baseline evaluations are completed, allowing for safe entry into the study. In order to avoid an unbalanced distribution by baseline characteristics, randomization will be stratified by one factor: disease stage (in a 1:4 proportion for Stage IIIb vs. Stage IV or relapsed disease). Randomization schedules will be produced for each stratum, and treatment allocation will be carried out centrally
