Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Patients must have undergone complete resection of their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [stage IB (>= 4 cm)] - [IIIA (T2-3N0, T1-3N1, T1-3N2] prior to enrollment; accepted types of resection will consist of lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, bi-lobectomy or pneumonectomy; resections by segmentectomy or wedge resection will not be accepted; mediastinal lymph node sampling at specified levels is required pre-operatively (mediastinoscopy) or intraoperatively (level 7 and 4 for right sided tumors or level 7 and 5 and/or 6 for left sided tumors)
Patients must not have received hormonal cancer therapy or radiation therapy as prior cancer treatment within 5 years of randomization; (prior surgery, biologic therapy, hormonal therapy, or radiation therapy for a malignancy over 5 years prior to enrollment that is now considered cured is acceptable)

Summary
This trial is comparing chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer removed by surgery. They must not have had hormonal or radiation therapy within the last 5 years, be recovered from surgery, and have good organ function and blood counts. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can't join, nor can those with recent serious health issues like heart failure or bleeding disorders. Participants need controlled blood pressure and no history of stroke or significant infections.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Bevacizumab to chemotherapy after surgery improves outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer patients. It's a phase III trial comparing standard chemo alone versus chemo plus Bevacizumab, which may block tumor growth by inhibiting blood vessel formation.
What are the potential side effects?
Chemotherapy side effects include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased infection risk, and possible damage to organs. Bevacizumab might cause high blood pressure, bleeding problems, slow wound healing and could increase the risk of developing clots.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm II (chemotherapy, bevacizumab)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive chemotherapy as in Arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 1 year.
Group II: Arm I (chemotherapy)Active Control7 Interventions
Patients receive one of the following. For all, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
REGIMEN 1: Vinorelbine ditartrate 30 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8, cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes on day 1 REGIMEN 2: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV and cisplastin 75 mg/m2 IV on day 1 REGIMEN 3: Gemcitabine hydrochloride 1200 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8, cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV on day 1 REGIMEN 4 (non-squamous histology only): Pemetrexed disodium 500mg/m2 IV and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV on day 1
