Docetaxel (Taxotere), Vinorelbine, and Bevacizumab, as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients With Resected Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of the drugs docetaxel (Taxotere ® ), plus vinorelbine (Navelbine ® ), will result in fewer side effects than cisplatin chemotherapy, thereby improving delivery of chemotherapy in patients. Another purpose of this study is to determine whether a third drug, bevacizumab (Avastin®), may be delivered safely with docetaxel plus vinorelbine in patients who are eligible to receive bevacizumab.
