PointBreak: A Randomized Phase III Study of Pemetrexed Plus Carboplatin and Bevacizumab Followed by Maintenance Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab Versus Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin and Bevacizumab Followed by Maintenance Bevacizumab in Patients With Stage IIIB or IV Nonsquamous Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

TLDR
OS did not improve with the Pemetrexed plus bevacizumab regimen compared with the PacCBev regimen, although PFS was significantly improved with PemCBev.
Abstract
Purpose PointBreak (A Study of Pemetrexed, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab in Patients With Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) compared the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed (Pem) plus carboplatin (C) plus bevacizumab (Bev) followed by pemetrexed plus bevacizumab (PemCBev) with paclitaxel (Pac) plus carboplatin (C) plus bevacizumab (Bev) followed by bevacizumab (PacCBev) in patients with advanced nonsquamous non‐small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Bevacizumab in combination with different platinum-based doublets in the first-line treatment for advanced nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer: A network meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In the first‐line treatment for advanced NS‐NSCLC, Taxane–Pt and Gem-Pt are the most and least preferable regimens to be used with bevacizumab, respectively.

Comparative Effectiveness of Pemetrexed-platinum Doublet Chemotherapy With or Without Bevacizumab as First-line Therapy for Treatment-naive Patients With Advanced Nonsquamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer in China.

TL;DR: Results from clinical practice further support the concept that pemetrexed-platinum doublet plus bevacizumab could be an effective and tolerable regimen in patients with advanced NS-NSCLC in China.

Carboplatin plus Weekly Paclitaxel with Bevacizumab for First-line Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness and safety of weekly paclitaxel (PTX) combined with carboplatin (CBDCA) plus bevacizumab (BEV), followed by maintenance BEV in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induce severe hematologic toxicities in lung cancer patients receiving pemetrexed plus carboplatin: A retrospective cohort study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that severe hematologic toxicities in patients receiving carboplatin-based pemetrexed may be significantly induced by the inhibition of renal tubular pemberrexed secretion through drug–drug interactions between NSAIDs and pemet Rexed rather than through glomerular filtration of pemetrezed, even with moderate to sufficient renal function.

Complex Decisions for First-Line and Maintenance Treatment of Advanced Wild-Type Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: This review attempts to address three fundamental questions clinicians face in choosing first-line and maintenance treatment for advanced NSCLC, particularly nonsquamous histology: Is pemetrexed or a taxane agent better for combination with platinum therapy?

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.

TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).
