Improved Survival with Bevacizumab in Advanced Cervical Cancer

Improved Survival with Bevacizumab in Advanced Cervical Cancer

2014-02-20 | Tewari, Krishnansu S; Sill, Michael W; Long, Harry J; et al.
The study evaluated the effectiveness of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. It involved 452 patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer, randomly assigned to receive chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was overall survival, with a 30% reduction in the hazard ratio for death considered clinically important. Bevacizumab, a humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, was added to chemotherapy regimens of cisplatin-paclitaxel or topotecan-paclitaxel. The addition of bevacizumab was associated with increased overall survival (17.0 months vs. 13.3 months) and higher response rates (48% vs. 36%). However, it also increased the risk of hypertension, thromboembolic events, and gastrointestinal fistulas. The study found that bevacizumab improved median overall survival by 3.7 months compared to chemotherapy alone. The results showed that bevacizumab-containing regimens were associated with a reduced hazard of death and disease progression. The study also found that bevacizumab did not significantly affect health-related quality of life. The addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy was associated with a significant improvement in progression-free survival and response rates. The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute and was conducted in the United States and Spain. The results suggest that bevacizumab may be a valuable addition to chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. The study also highlights the need for further research into antivascular therapy for other HPV-induced tumors. The study found that the use of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy was associated with a significant improvement in survival, but also with increased risks of certain adverse events. The study also found that the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy did not significantly affect health-related quality of life. The study was conducted in a factorial design, with patients randomly assigned to one of four regimens. The study found that the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy was associated with a significant improvement in survival, but also with increased risks of certain adverse events.
