Abstract:
5020 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major promoter of tumor angiogenesis. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that neutralizes VEGF and is active in several tumor types, including epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: We are conducting a phase II trial of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab (CPB) in newly diagnosed patients with chemotherapy naïve, stage ≥ IC, epithelial ovarian, fallopian, primary peritoneal, or uterine papillary serous (UPSC) tumors. Patients receive carboplatin AUC of 5 IV, paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 IV, and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV for 6–8 cycles on a 21-day cycle. Bevacizumab is omitted in the first cycle, and continued for one year’s consolidation. Principle endpoints include response rate and progression free survival. Results: Since 3/05, 35 patients have been enrolled. Of the 30 evaluable patients, 24 have ovarian, 4 peritoneal, 1 fallopian tube cancer, and 1 UPSC (1 stage IIB, 22 stage III, and 7 stage IV), and median age is 57 (range 18–77). 133 cycles of chemotherapy have been administered with acceptable toxicity. Grade IV neutropenia has been seen in 3 cycles with 1 episode of febrile neutropenia. Grade I, II, and III HTN was observed in 1, 3, and 4 cycles, and grade I (42% hematuria 45% epistaxis) and II bleeding observed in 36 and 1 cycle(s), respectively. There has been 1 nasal perforation, 2 delayed wound healing, and no bowel perforation. 1 woman withdrew consent (for PMH diverticulitis), and 3 women have been removed for toxicity (1 autonomic neurotoxicity, 1 HTN, and 1 PE). To date, 13 patients have completed the chemotherapy phase of treatment, and only one patient has come off study for progression on consolidation bevacizumab. Conclusion: First line CBP is a highly active regimen that has been well tolerated thus far. Updated toxicity and response data will be available in the spring of 2006. [Table: see text]
