Official title
A Phase II Trial of Pemetrexed, Gemcitabine, and Bevacizumab Every Two Weeks in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients With Stages IIIB/IV Non- Squamous, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving pemetrexed disodium and gemcitabine together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pemetrexed disodium and gemcitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
