Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Docetaxel (Taxotere®)
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone (pre- and post-medication for docetaxel)

Experimental: Placebo/Docetaxel - Participants with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) were administered Placebo immediately followed by Docetaxel every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal.

Placebo comparator: Aflibercept/Docetaxel - Participants with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) were administered Aflibercept immediately followed by Docetaxel every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal.


Treatment: Drugs: Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
6 mg/kg Aflibercept administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once on Day 1, every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Matching placebo to Aflibercept administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once on Day 1, every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Docetaxel (Taxotere®)
75 mg/m² docetaxel in 250 mL dextrose 5% or NaCl 0.9% administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour, on Day 1 every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Dexamethasone (pre- and post-medication for docetaxel)
As a pre- and post-medication for docetaxel, 8 mg dexamethasone was administered orally, the evening before Day 1, on Day 1 (early morning, 1 hour before docetaxel treatment, and evening) and on Day 2 (morning and evening).
