Treatment and study plan

Bevacizumab

Drug

intravenous infusion of bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle

Erlotinib HCl

Drug

oral erlotinib HCl 150 mg/day orally

Placebo

Drug

intravenous infusion of placebo at a dose of 15 mg/kg on the first day of each 3-week cycle

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS) Among All Randomized Patients

    Time frame: 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)

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From randomization to documented disease progression or death on study treatment, whichever occurred first. (Up to 3.1 years)

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to documented disease progression, as determined by the investigator using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), or death on study treatment, whichever occurred first.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Time frame: The median duration of Objective response was up to 9.7 months

    Objective response was defined as a complete or partial response determined by RECIST on two consecutive occasions >= 4 weeks apart.

  3. Duration of Objective Response

    Time frame: Period from Objective response until disease progression or death on study treatment. (Up to 29.5 months)

    Duration of objective response was defined as the period from the date of the initial partial or complete response until the date of disease progression or death on study treatment from any cause. For patients who had not died, data was censored at the date of last contact.
