Abstract
The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of the monoclonal antivascular endothelial growth factor antibody bevacizumab (Avastin(R)) combined with chemotherapeutic agents in non-protocol patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal malignancies. Using our databases, we identified patients treated with bevacizumab combination therapy since June 2005. Responses were evaluated with Response evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors and serum CA125 Rustin criteria. Toxicity was assessed according to the Common toxicity Criteria (CTC) v.3.0. Data from 64 patients were included. The median patient age was 58 years, and they had undergone a median of 4.5 (range, 1-10) prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. The median length of follow-up was 8 months (range, 2-29). The most commonly used combinations were bevacizumab plus taxanes (26.6%) and plus cyclophosphamide (26.6%). A median of 4 cycles of therapy with a median bevacizumab dose of 3,600 mg (range, 500-18,240) were administered. An overall response rate of 21.3% was observed in 13 patients with partial response, and another 42.6% of patients had stable disease. Among the patients with elevated pretreatment serum ...Continue Reading
