Brief Summary

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

Primary objective:

To estimate 6-month progression free survival probability of pts w recurrent malignant gliomas treated w erlotinib + bevacizumab.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate safety \& tolerability of erlotinib + bevacizumab among pts w recurrent malignant gliomas To evaluate radiographic response of pts w recurrent malignant gliomas treated w erlotinib + bevacizumab To evaluate pharmacokinetics of erlotinib when administered to pts w recurrent malignant gliomas; \& to examine relationship of clinical response to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR) expression, amplification, \& v-III mutation, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) \& phosphorylated protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) in archival tumor samples

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Exploratory, Phase II study designed to assess anti-tumor activity of combinatorial regimen consisting of erlotinib + bevacizumab among pts w recurrent malignant glioma. Signal transduction inhibitors, such as erlotinib, as well as anti-angiogenic agents, such as bevacizumab, are expected to exert a cytostatic anti-tumor effect. Primary endpoint of study is probability of progression-free survival at 6 months. An important secondary objective is to further assess the safety of erlotinib + bevacizumab for pts w RMG. Pharmacokinetic studies included in protocol will evaluate impact of enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAEDs) on metabolism of erlotinib.

If study demonstrates that combo regimen of erlotinib + bevacizumab is associated w encouraging anti-tumor activity among pts w recurrent malignant glioma (RMG), further assessment of regimen in additional ph II \& possibly ph III studies, will be considered.

Bevacizumab + Erlotinib

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bevacizumab and Erlotinib

Intervention Type DRUG

Bevacizumab administered intravenously at dose 10 mg/kg every 2 wks. Erlotinib administered orally, continuously once daily in fasting state for each 42-day cycle. Dose of erlotinib is based on prior erlotinib monotherapy trial in RMG. It will be 200 mg/day for pts not on cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4)-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs \& 500 mg/day for pts on EIAEDs.

It is possible that taking erlotinib w regular medications or supplements may change how erlotinib, subject's regular medications, or subject's regular supplements work. Treatment will continue until either evidence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, non-compliance w study follow-up, or withdrawal of consent.
