Phase II Trial of High-Dose Bevacizumab in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma
Bevacizumab is considered a targeted drug. Targeted drugs act on specific receptors on a
cell. Bevacizumab blocks receptors that help cancer cells develop blood supplies so that
the cancer can grow. These specific receptors are found in greater numbers in kidney
cancer. In that regard bevacizumab will be tested in 2 doses that are higher than
non-kidney cancer treatments with bevacizumab.
One group of patients will receive bevacizumab at 15 mg per kg by vein every 2 weeks. A
total of 75 patients will be treated with this dose.
If this dose is well tolerated a second group of patients will receive bevacizumab at 15mg
per kg by vein weekly.
