A Randomized Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab With Irinotecan or Bevacizumab With Temozolomide in Recurrent Glioblastoma


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the efficacy of bevacizumab and irinotecan hydrochloride, in terms of 6-month
progression-free survival rate, in patients with recurrent or refractory intracranial
glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma.

II. Determine the adverse event profile and tolerability of bevacizumab and temozolomide in
these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the efficacy of bevacizumab and temozolomide, in terms of 6-month
progression-free survival rate, in patients previously treated with temozolomide.

II. Determine the efficacy of bevacizumab and irinotecan hydrochloride, in terms of
objective response, in patients with measurable disease.

III. Determine the efficacy of bevacizumab and temozolomide, in terms of objective response,
in patients with measurable disease who were previously treated with temozolomide.

IV. Determine the toxicity profile and tolerability of bevacizumab and irinotecan
hydrochloride in these patients.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the potential role of perfusion MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging as
an early indicator of response to therapy after 2 weeks of treatment with bevacizumab.

II. Assess the potential role of perfusion MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging
as a prognostic indicator based on images taken at baseline, at 2 weeks, and after 2 courses
of study treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age
(< 50 vs >= 50 years of age) and Karnofsky performance status (70-80% vs 90-100%). Patients
are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms with an overall 1:1 ratio (arm I:arm II).

ARM I: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 and oral
temozolomide once daily on days 1-21.

ARM II: Patients receive bevacizumab IV as in Arm I followed by irinotecan hydrochloride IV
over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo MRI at baseline and at every 2
courses (no 2-week MRI) per standard of care until progression or discontinuation of
treatment to assess areas of breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. Patients undergo an
additional MRI after study therapy. Consenting patients also undergo diffusion and perfusion
MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging for correlative studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for at least 1 month.

Outcome Measure:

Six-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) for Bevacizumab and Irinotecan Hydrochloride Arm

Outcome Description:

Progression-free survival is defined as time from randomization to date of progression or date of death from any cause and is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients last known to be alive without progression are considered to be censored at the date of last contact.
