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

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
- Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective
contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.
- Patients being considered for treatment with bevacizumab must have a urine protein:

contrast showing no evidence of brain metastases within 3 months of study entry
Exclusion Criteria:
