A Phase II Study of Erlotinib and Bevacizumab in Patients With Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Carcinomas, Refractory or Intolerable to Standard Systemic Therapy
Primary Objective
- To determine the median time to progression (TTP) and response rate (RR) of the
combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab in patients with advanced upper
gastro-intestinal carcinomas, refractory or intolerant to standard systemic therapy.
Secondary Objective
- To determine safety, tolerability and toxicity.
- To determine median and overall survival (OS).
- To correlate efficacy of treatment with the expression of tumor markers obtained in
serum (EFGR, bFGF, p-VEGF-A, and sVEGF-R2), in paraffin embedded tumor tissue (micro
vessel density (MVD), and expression of VEGFR and EGFR, after immunostaining), and in
fresh frozen tumor biopsies (micro array-based analyses of patterns of gene
expression).
Treatment:
Bevacizumab (AvastinÃ’) will be given intravenously at 10 mg/kg every other week.
Erlotinib is given as an orally daily dose and most be taken at least one hour before or two
hours after ingestion of food.
