Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Bevacizumab in Combination With Irinotecan for Malignant Gliomas
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Examine the effect of bevacizumab and irinotecan on vascular permeability and blood
flow in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas.
Secondary
- Determine the reproducibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) in malignant
gliomas.
- Determine the predictive value of DCE-MRI in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas
treated with bevacizumab and irinotecan.
- Describe the activity of the combination of bevacizumab with irinotecan as measured by
response rate and progression-free survival.
- Describe the toxicity associated with the administration of bevacizumab with
irinotecan.
OUTLINE: Patients receive bevacizumab IV on days 1, 15, and 29 and irinotecan IV on days 2,
15, and 29 during the first 6-week cycle. After the first cycle, the irinotecan and
bevacizumab will be given on days 1, 15 and 29. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients also undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI 4 times.
