Phase II Study of Bevacizumab and Erlotinib in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small Lung Cancer

This study will evaluate the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib in elderly patients
with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

There is no definite evidence of a superior therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
in elderly patients. With the exception of one known study, single agent erlotinib has not
been studied exclusively in the elderly and the combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab has
never been studied exclusively in the treatment naive elderly. This is an important
population that needs less toxic therapies.

- Cytologically or histologic confirmed non-small cell lung cancer, stage IIIB or IV or
recurrent after primary surgery or radiotherapy.

- Must have measurable disease
