Measure
Treatment (Ziv-aflibercept and Fludeoxyglucose F 18)
Patients receive aflibercept 4mg/kg IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients experiencing clear clinical benefit with aflibercept may continue treatment beyond 12 months, at the discretion of the study sponsor. Patients undergo FDG-PET scans at baseline and after 8 weeks of study therapy to evaluate changes in FDG avidity on FDG-PET scan. Blood samples are obtained at baseline and periodically during study for laboratory correlative studies. Samples are examined for pretreatment serum VEGF concentration, thyroglobulin levels (when elevated), serum pharmacokinetics of aflibercept by ELISA, and anti-aflibercept antibodies.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 8 weeks of study therapy

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions \& assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + P RMeasurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm with conventional techniques (CT, MRI, x-ray) or as ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan. All tumor measurements must be recorded in millimeters (or decimal fractions of centimeters). All other lesions (or sites of disease), including small lesions (longest diameter \< 20 mm with conventional techniques or \< 10 mm using spiral CT scan), are considered non-measurable disease. Bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusions, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis, inflammatory breast disease, abdominal masses (not followed by CT or MRI), \& cystic
