Pilot Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab in Combination With Hormonal and Radiotherapy in Patients With High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Although there is no data on the toxicity with concurrent bevacizumab and hormonal therapy,
the combination is not expected to increase toxicity seen when given as a single agent.
Abnormal tumor microenvironments, tumor progression, and metastatic spread are major factors
contributing to treatment failures in radiotherapy. Anti-VEGF agents (e.g. bevacizumab) can
help overcome these factors through several different mechanisims.
Studies also demonstrate prolonged use of anti-VEGF agents with radiation therapy was more
effective at preventing metastases from irradiated tumors compared to a short course.
Patients generally start hormonal therapy and daily radiotherapy at the same time. This
study will delay the start of radiotherapy until 8 weeks after the start of hormonal therapy
and bevacizumab.
Interventional
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To determine the acute (within 90 days from 1st day of radiation therapy) toxicities from intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in conjunction with bevacizumab, bicalutamide, and goserelin.
