Phase IB Study of Gemcitabine, Docetaxel and Bevacizumab in Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma


Because the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel has shown impressive activity in soft
tissue sarcoma, we hypothesize that the addition of an antiangiogenesis agent (bevacizumab)
would enhance the anticancer activity, as shown in other tumor types.

Inclusion Criteria


Inclusion criteria:

- All patients, 18 years of age or older, with chemotherapy naive soft tissue sarcoma
are eligible if there is measurable disease Prior surgery or radiotherapy for the
primary tumor is allowed but needs to have been completed at least 2 weeks from

- Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

- Patients must have a Zubrod performance status of 0-2.

- Patients must sign an informed consent.

- Patients should have adequate bone marrow function defined by an absolute peripheral
granulocyte count of > 1,500 or cells/mm3 and platelet count >100,000/mm3 and absence
of a regular red blood cell transfusion requirement.

- Patients should have adequate hepatic function with a total bilirubin < 2 mg/dl and
SGOT or SGPT < two times the upper limit of normal, and adequate renal function as
defined by a serum creatinine < 1.5 x upper limit of normal.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with symptomatic brain metastases are excluded from this study.

- Pregnant women or nursing mothers are not eligible for this trial. Patients of child
bearing potential must use adequate contraception.

- Patients may receive no other concurrent chemotherapy or radiation therapy during
this trial.

- Patients with severe medical problems such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or
cardiovascular disease or active infections are not eligible for this trial.
