Outline

This is a nonrandomized, open-label, controlled, phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008), dose-escalation study of bevacizumab and erlotinib hydrochloride, followed by a phase II study.

• Phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008):
  • Induction therapy: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours, carboplatin IV over 15-30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses. Patients with stable or responding disease proceed to chemoradiotherapy.
  
  
  
  • Chemoradiotherapy: Patients receive chemoradiotherapy according to their assigned dose cohort:
    • Cohort 1: Patients undergo thoracic conformal radiotherapy (TCRT) on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, 36-40, and 43-47. Patients also receive carboplatin IV and paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 43 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 15, 29, and 43.
    
    
    
    • Cohort 2: Patients undergo TCRT and receive carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab as in cohort 1. Patients also receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride on days 2-5, 9-12, 16-19, 23-26, 30-33, 37-40, and 44-47.
    
    
    
    • Cohort 3: Patients undergo TCRT and receive carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab as in cohort 1. Patients also receive higher doses of oral erlotinib hydrochloride on days 2-5, 9-12, 16-19, 23-26, 30-33, 37-40, and 44-47.
    
    
    

    Cohorts of 5 patients receive chemoradiotherapy as described above until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 (with grade 4 toxicity) or 3 (with grade 3 toxicity) of 5 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

    Three to 6 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients proceed to consolidation therapy.

  
  
  
  • Consolidation therapy: Patients receive bevacizumab IV on day 1 and oral erlotinib hydrochloride on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  
  
  



• Phase II:
  • Induction therapy: Patients receive induction therapy as in phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008).
  
  
  
  • Chemoradiotherapy: Patients undergo TCRT and receive carboplatin and paclitaxel as in phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008). Patients also receive bevacizumab and erlotinib hydrochloride as in phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008) at the MTD/drug combination determined in phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008).
  
  
  
  • Consolidation therapy: Patients receive consolidation therapy as in phase I (closed to accrual as of 1/3/2008).
  
  
  

Tumor tissue and peripheral blood is collected at baseline for future correlative and biomarker studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 2 months for 2 years, every 4 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.
