Optimization of Bevacizumab Scheduling With Chemotherapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if giving bevacizumab prior to chemotherapy compared to giving bevacizumab at the same time as chemotherapy improves patient overall response to treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:

number of objective responses [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

progression free survival [ Time Frame: one year ]
overall survival [ Time Frame: 30 months ]
worst grade toxicity per patient [ Time Frame: evaluated every 2 weeks up to 6 months ]
changes in quality of life [ Time Frame: measured at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks ]

Other Outcome Measures:

evaluation of prognostic and predictive factors [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
circulating endothelial cell counts, cytokines, antiangiogenic factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms of VEGF, leukocyte count 24 hours after administration of bevacizumab, and mRNA will be evaluated in blood samples of participating consenting patients, for correlation with clinical outcomes of patients
change in metabolic tumor volume [ Time Frame: 11 days from first day of first cycle of chemotherapy ]
measured by PET scan
