Elderly and PS 2 Patients With Advanced NSCLC Combination vs. Single Agent Therapy Bevacizumab with chemotherapy Targeted agents in unselected patients
IFCT Study Schema *Choice of the center at the beginning of the study; ** In case of PD or excessive toxicity NSCLC Stage III-IV Age years PS 0-2 n = 451 Vinorelbine or Gemcitabine * Carboplatin + paclitaxel Erlotinib** 150 mg/d RANDOMRANDOM Stratification by center, PS 0-1 vs. 2, age ≤80 vs. >80 and stage III vs. IV Ref: Quoix E, Zalcman G, Oster JP, et al; Intergroupe Francophone de Cancérologie Thoracique. Carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel doublet chemotherapy compared with monotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: IFCT-0501 randomised, phase 3 trial. Lancet Sep 17;378(9796):

Exploratory Sub-group analysis "Despite increased toxic effects, platinum-based doublet chemotherapy was associated with survival benefits compared with vinorelbine or gemcitabine monotherapy in elderly patients with NSCLC."
