Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized, non comparative study consisting of two concurrent single-arms. Approximately 160 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Arm 1 (bevacizumab alone) or Arm 2 (bevacizumab + irinotecan).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed Informed Consent Form
* Age ≥ 18 years
* Histologically confirmed GBM in first or second relapse
* Radiographic demonstration of disease progression following prior therapy
* Bi-dimensionally measurable disease with a minimum measurement of 1 cm (10 mm) in one diameter on MRI performed within 14 days prior to first treatment (Day 0)
* An interval of ≥ 4 weeks since prior surgical resection
* Prior standard radiation for GBM
* Prior chemotherapy: first-relapse subjects
* Prior chemotherapy: second-relapse subjects
* Recovery from the effects of prior therapy, including the following: 4 weeks from cytotoxic agents (except 6 weeks from nitrosoureas, 3 weeks from procarbazine, 2 weeks from vincristine); 4 weeks from any investigational agent; 1 week from non-cytotoxic agents; 8 weeks from radiotherapy to minimize the potential for MRI changes related to radiation necrosis that might be misdiagnosed as progression of disease, or 4 weeks if a new lesion, relative to the pre-radiation MRI, develops that is outside the primary radiation field
* Prior therapy with gamma knife or other focal high-dose radiation is allowed but the subject must have subsequent histologic documentation of recurrence, unless the recurrence is a new lesion outside the irradiated field
* Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
* Life expectancy \> 12 weeks
* Use of an effective means of contraception in males and in females of childbearing potential
* Ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures

Exclusion Criteria

* Prior treatment with irinotecan, bevacizumab, or another VEGF or VEGFR-targeted agent
* Prior treatment with prolifeprospan 20 with carmustine wafer
* Prior intracerebral agents
* Need for urgent palliative intervention for primary disease (e.g., impending herniation)
* Evidence of recent hemorrhage on baseline MRI of the brain with the following exceptions: Presence of hemosiderin; Resolving hemorrhagic changes related to surgery; Presence of punctate hemorrhage in the tumor
* Received more than two treatment regimens for Grade III and/or Grade IV glioma
* Blood pressure of \> 150 mmHg systolic and \> 100 mmHg diastolic
* History of hypertensive encephalopathy
* New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater CHF
* History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to Day 0
* History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to study enrollment
* Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection) or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis within 6 months prior to Day 0
* Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
* History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to Day 0
* History of intracerebral abscess within 6 months prior to Day 0
* Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study
* Minor surgical procedures (excluding placement of a vascular access device), stereotactic biopsy, fine needle aspirations, or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0
* Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
* Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or lactation
* Known hypersensitivity to any component of bevacizumab
* History of any other malignancy within 5 years (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix)
* Pregnant or nursing females
* Unstable systemic disease, including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication
* Subjects unable to undergo an MRI with contrast
