Phase II Study of Bevacizumab (Avastin) and BCNU for Treatment of Relapsed, High Grade Gliomas
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the 6-month progression-free survival of patients with relapsed or
progressive high-grade gliomas treated with bevacizumab and carmustine.
Secondary
- To evaluate the radiographic response to this regimen as measured by MRI and PET scan
with image fusion.
- To utilize novel brain imaging to differentiate between a radiographic response due to
tumor shrinkage and a radiographic response due to decreased vasogenic edema.
- To evaluate the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- To evaluate the overall survival of these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients receive bevacizumab IV on days -7, 8, 22, 36, and 50 of course 1 and on
days 8, 22, 36, and 50 of all subsequent courses. Patients also receive carmustine IV over 4
hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 56 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months.
