    • Abstract

    Background
    In advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (MT), EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) showed better response rate (RR) and longer progression free survival (PFS) than standard chemotherapy, but showed almost same overall survival (OS) in recent studies. Recently, chemotherapy with bevacizumab (Bev) showed higher RR, and maintenance therapy with Bev or pemetrexed (Pem) showed longer PFS (E4599, AVAiL, PARAMOUNT). But, there has been few report of chemotherapy with Pem and Bev including maintenance therapy in patients with EGFR-MT. According to the result of IPASS study, response to standard chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-MT is also better than patients without EGFR mutation. Therefore, we thought chemotherapy containing Pem and Bev may be more effective in EGFR-MT pts. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with Pem, carboplatin (Cb) and Bev followed by Pem plus Bev maintenance therapy for non-squamous NSCLC patients with EGFR-MT.

    Methods
    This study was multicenter, phase II trial. Patients receive Pem 500mg/m2 day1 + Cb AUC6 day1 + Bev 15mg/kg day1, every 3 weeks, 4-6 cycles. Patients who achieved disease control receive Pem 500mg/m2 day1 + Bev 15mg/kg day1, every 3 weeks until disease progression. Key inclusion criteria are as follows; 1) histologically or cytologically proven non-squamous NSCLC, 2) patients with EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion or L858R revealed by peptide nucleic acid-locked nucleic acid (PNA-LNA) PCR clamp assay), 3) patients with stage IIIB or IV, or recurrent disease after surgery and was not a candidate for curative radiotherapy, 4) no prior chemotherapy, 5) patient who has measurable lesion by RECIST, 6) age: 20-74, 7) ECOG PS: 0-1, 8) adequate organ function, 9) life expectancy more than 3 months,10) written informed consent. Key exclusion criteria are as follows; 1) brain metastasis, 2) hemoptysis (>=2.5ml), 3) active infection, 4) fever, 5) serious disease condition, 6) active double cancer, 7) cavity fluid retention difficult to control, 8) severe drug allergy, 9) receiving anticoagulant drug (except aspirin under 325mg/day), 10) active GI bleeding or inflammation in the abdominal cavity, 11) pregnancy or lactation, 12) patients whose participation in the trial is judged to be inappropriate by the attending doctor. Primary endpoint was RR. Secondary endpoint included safety, disease control rate, overall survival, PFS. (Unique trial Number; UMIN000003737)
