A Study of PRO95780 in Patients With Previously Untreated, Advanced-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (APM4074g)

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase II Trial of Paclitaxel + Carboplatin + Bevacizumab With or Without PRO95780 in Patients With Previously Untreated, Advanced-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a randomized, double-blind, Phase II, placebo-controlled trial adding on to a background of effective treatment designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of PRO95780 combined with paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab therapy in patients with previously untreated Stage IIIB, Stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Approximately 120 patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms.

• Use of accepted and effective method of contraception, i.e., double barrier contraceptive methods (e.g., diaphragm plus condom) or abstinence during the course of the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment administration for women, and 1 month for men

Exclusion Criteria:

• Squamous cell histology
• Prior malignancy other than NSCLC (except in situ basal cell carcinoma or in situ cervical cancer), unless it has been treated with curative intent and there is no evidence of disease for ≥ 3 years prior to randomization

• Use of anticoagulation therapy
• Participation in clinical trials or undergoing other investigational procedures within 30 days prior to randomization
• Pregnancy (e.g., positive HCG test) or breast feeding
• Known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during the study
• Any disorder that compromises the ability of the patient to provide written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures
