Inclusion:

Patients must satisfy all the following inclusion criteria in order to be eligible for the study:

Signed written informed consent
AJCC stage 3 or 4 histologically proven NSCLC not amenable to curative therapy and for whom erlotinib and bevacizumab therapy would be appropriate
Radiological assessment within 21 days prior to inclusion, if measurable disease is present
Age ≥ 18 years
ECOG performance status 0 or 1
Patient has received at least one standard platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen appropriate for his/her lung cancer, in the opinion of the investigator, prior to enrollment.

Exclusion:

Patients with any of the following will be excluded from participation in the study:

Disease

Squamous cell carcinoma, except for patients with no intrathoracic disease or small peripheral lesions only.

Known central nervous system (CNS) metastases (Note: patients with brain metastases which have been controlled for ≥ 4 months without the use of steroid are eligible).

Prior Treatments

Less than 4 weeks between registration and the last receipt of chemotherapy, biotherapy, radiotherapy or major surgery
Concurrent or planned hormonal agents such as replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, or anti-cancer therapy, e.g. Megace. (A prior history of such therapy is not exclusionary.)
Administration of any investigational agent (therapeutic or diagnostic), including any investigational compound for the treatment of NSCLC, within 4 weeks prior to first study dosing Other Concomitant Medications
High dose oral or intravenous corticosteroids. (Note: topical, inhaled and intra-articular corticosteroids are allowed. Prophylactic antihistamines are allowed before administration of bevacizumab
Use of any medication which is a strong inhibitor or inducer of cytochrome P450 isoform CYP3A4 (see Appendix 5)
Therapeutic dosing with warfarin >1 mg/day
Chronic daily use of aspirin (> 325 mg/day) or other full-dose NSAIDs with anti-platelet activity
Inability to take oral medication or requirement for IV alimentation or total parenteral nutrition with lipids, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption Laboratory

The following laboratory results, within 10 days of first study drug administration:

Hemoglobin ≤ 9.0 g/dL Absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1.5 x 109/L Platelet count ≤ 100 x 109/L
International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 1.3 (only if the subject is on warfarin [< 1 mg per day]) during 28 days prior to enrollment.
aPTT > Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) during 28 days prior to enrollment.
Serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 x ULN and creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) <60 mL/min
Serum bilirubin ≥ 1.5 x ULN
Proteinuria: UPC ≥ 1.0 or ≥ 2+ proteinuria by urine dipstick, unless a 24-hour urine demonstrates <1.0 g/24 hours
ALT or AST ≥ 2.5 x ULN (≥ 5 x ULN if liver metastases)
Alkaline phosphatase ≥ 2.5 x ULN

Women of child bearing potential: positive pregnancy test (serum). Other Conditions or Procedures

Known hypersensitivity to any oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN), EGFR-inhibitor or bevacizumab
Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture
Patients with a history or current neoplasm other than the entry diagnosis, except for curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix and except for other cancers treated for cure and with a disease-free survival greater than 5 years.

Men or women of childbearing potential who refuse or who are unable to use an acceptable means of contraception
History of clinically significant hemoptysis within 3 months prior to registration unless definitively treated with surgery or radiation

(Note: testing for HIV infection of HBsAg is not part of the screening assessments performed by the central laboratory).

History of allogeneic organ transplant
Brain biopsy within 12 weeks of first study dosing
Minor surgical procedure, central venous catheter placement, fine needle aspirations or core biopsy within 7 days prior to first study dosing
Anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study Other
