Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
No phase specifiedTreatmentCompleted18 and overNCI, Pharmaceutical / IndustryUCLA-0212064
GENENTECH-AVF2540g, NCT00066560

Objectives

  1. Provide an extension of bevacizumab treatment to patients with metastatic breast or colorectal cancer who received this drug in a prior phase II or III Genentech-sponsored clinical trial.
  2. Determine the safety of long-term administration of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed metastatic breast or colorectal cancer


  • Must have received bevacizumab on, and completed participation in, 1 of the following Genentech-sponsored phase II or III clinical trials (less than 3 months since last dose):
    • GENENTECH-AVF2107g*
    • GENENTECH-AVF2119g*
    • GENENTECH-AVF2192g*

     [Note: *Patients who were randomized to the control arms of these studies are ineligible]

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter, extension study.

Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes every 2 or 3 weeks according to the original Genentech treatment schedule. Treatment continues for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 30 days and then every 4 months for 1 year.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
