Summary

The purpose of this research study was to evaluate how effective the combination of Carboplatin, Bevacizumab (Avastin™) and, Pemetrexed (Alimta™) is in the treatment of patients with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM). A combination of cisplatin and pemetrexed is considered standard for this disease and typically off protocol patients would receive cisplatin or carboplatin and pemetrexed as standard of care.

The planned length of the study (first patient screened to last patient enrolled) was 24 months. The planned length of the entire study (enrollment period + the treatment period + a follow-up period of at least 12 months) was 36 months.

Carboplatin, Bevacizumab and Pemetrexed

Chemotherapy was given for 2 cycles after maximal response. Patients were taken off study at the time of progression. If the patient had stable disease or better, as a response, then the patient was maintained on pemetrexed plus bevacizumab for a total of one year after initiation of maintenance or until progression which ever occured first. Computed tomography (CT) scans were be done every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase.
