Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed, carboplatin<br />

and bevacizumab (PCB) followed by maintenance pemetrexed and<br />

bevacizumab (PB) in chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IV nonsquamous<br />

non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through the influence of<br />

thymidylate synthase (TS), ERCC1 and VEGF mRNA expression on several<br />

outcomes. The primary endpoints were the overall response rate (ORR),<br />

progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: Patients<br />

were administered pemetrexed (500 mg/m2), carboplatin (AUC, 5.0 mg/ml/<br />

min) and bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg) intravenously every three weeks for up to<br />

four cycles. Maintenance pemetrexed and bevacizumab was administered<br />

until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: One hundred<br />

forty-four Hispanic patients with a median follow-up of 13.8 months and<br />

a median number of maintenance cycles of 6 (range, 1- 32) were assessed.<br />

The ORR among the patients was 66% (95% CI, 47% to 79%). The median<br />

progression-free and overall survival (OS) rates were 7.9 months (95% CI,<br />

5.9-10.0 months) and 21.4 months (95% CI, 18.3 to 24.4 months), respectively.<br />

Median TS, ERCC1 and VEGF mRNA levels were 1.45 (range, 0.17–2.52),<br />

0.58 (range, 0.44-1.20), and 2.72 (range, 1.84-3.21), respectively. OS was<br />

significantly higher in patients with the lowest TS mRNA levels [29.6 months<br />

(95%CI 26.2-32.9) compared with those with higher levels 9.3 months (95%CI<br />

6.6-12.0); p=0.0001]. ERCC1 mRNA levels also influenced the OS [median for<br />

ERCC1 mRNA˂0.58 28.7 months (95%CI 26.3-31.2) vs. ERCC1 mRNA>0.58 11.1<br />

months (95%CI 9.6-12.7); p=0.0001] as well as VEGF mRNA levels [median OS<br />

for VEGF mRNA˂2.72 26.4 months (95%CI 22.8-30.0) vs. VEGF mRNA>2.72<br />

18.2 months (95%CI 8.4-27.9); p=0.009]. TS mRNA did not influence treatment<br />

response, however the ORR was significantly higher in patients with low<br />

levels of ERCC1 (p = 0.003) and elevated VEGF (p = 0.005). Multivariate analysis<br />

found that TS mRNA levels (p=0.0001), VEGF mRNA levels (p=0.007) and PS<br />

(p=0.014) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: Overall, PCB<br />

followed by maintenance pemetrexed and bevacizumab was in Hispanic<br />

patients with non-squamous NSCLC. This regimen was associated with<br />

prolonged OS, particularly in patients with low TS, ERCC1 and VEGF mRNA<br />

expression. These biomarkers alone or in combination may be useful to assess<br />

the prognosis of patients with NSCLC treated with CBP/Pem/Bev.<br />

the McKesson Specialty Health/US <strong>Oncology</strong> iKnowMed SM electronic health<br />

record database. Inclusion criteria: Patients with advanced (stage III/IV)<br />

NSCLC who initiated first-line, intravenous, myelosuppressive chemotherapy<br />

between January 2007 and December 2010. Endpoints: Mean RDI (a<br />

composite measure including both dose delays and dose reductions), RDI<br />
