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.


Inclusion Criteria:



- High Risk Prostate Cancer as defined as ONE of the following:

1. Clinical T2b-T4

2. Gleason sum score 8-10

3. PSA more than 20 and Gleason sum score 7

4. In addition, clinical T2a patients are eligible if 5 or more biopsies contain
Gleason 4+3 cancer (minimum of 10 biopsies total required)

- No evidence of metastatic disease within 60 days of enrollment, confirmed by physical
examination, chest x-ray, bone scan, and computed tomography of the abdomen and
pelvis

- ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2

Exclusion Criteria:

- Concurrent or prior treatment with radiation, cytotoxic, biologic therapy for
prostate cancer; any major surgery within four weeks, prior hormonal therapy (except
finasteride for obstructive voiding symptoms)

- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days
prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course
of the study; Minor surgical procedures such as fine needle aspirations or core
biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0

- Presence of central nervous system or brain metastases

- Blood pressure of >150/100 mmHg

- History of myocardial infarction within 6 months

- History of stroke within 6 months

- Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned
participation in an experimental drug study other than a Genentech-sponsored
bevacizumab cancer study

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

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.
