Phase 2 study of carboplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab for recurrent glioblastoma after progression on bevacizumab therapy.

ABSTRACT: The efficacy of carboplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab among recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) patients after prior progression on bevacizumab therapy in a phase 2, open-label, single-arm trial was evaluated.Eligible patients received carboplatin (area under the plasma curve [AUC] 4 mg/ml-min) on day 1, whereas bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) and irinotecan (340 mg/m(2) for patients on CYP3A enzyme-inducing anti-epileptics [EIAEDs] and 125 mg/m(2) for patients not on EIAEDs) were administered on days 1 and 14 of every 28-day cycle. Patients were evaluated after each of the first 2 cycles and then after every other cycle. Treatment continued until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or voluntary withdrawal. The primary end point was progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6), and secondary end points included safety and median overall survival (OS).All patients had progression on at least 1 prior bevacizumab regimen and 56% enrolled after either second or third overall progression. The median OS was 5.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.0-7.0 months) and PFS-6 rate was 16% (95% CI, 5.0%-32.5%). The most common grade 3 or 4 events were hematologic and occurred in 29% of cycles. Nine patients (38%) required dose modification. There were no treatment-related deaths.Carboplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab was associated with modest activity and adequate safety among recurrent GBM patients who progressed on bevacizumab previously.

Project description:BackgroundFor treating recurrent glioblastoma, for which there is no established treatment, the antiangiogenic antibody, bevacizumab, is used alone or with irinotecan. This study was aimed at comparing the survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma receiving bevacizumab monotherapy and those receiving bevacizumab plus irinotecan combination therapy (B+I) by using a nationwide population-based dataset.MethodsPatients matching the International Classification of Diseases code C71.x were screened from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. From January 2008 to November 2021, patients who underwent surgery or biopsy and subsequent standard concurrent chemoradiation with temozolomide were included. Among them, those who received bevacizumab monotherapy or B+I were selected. Demographic characteristics, inpatient stay, prescription frequency, survival outcomes, and steroid prescription duration were compared between these two groups.ResultsEight hundred and forty-six patients who underwent surgery or biopsy and received concurrent chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide were included. Of these, 450 and 396 received bevacizumab monotherapy and B+I, respectively. The corresponding median overall survival from the initial surgery was 22.60 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 20.50-24.21) and 20.44 months (95% CI, 18.55-22.60; P = 0.508, log-rank test). The B+I group had significantly more bevacizumab prescriptions (median 5 times; BEV group: median 3 times). Cox analysis, based on the postsurgery period, revealed that male sex (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28; P = 0.002), older age (HR, 1.01; P = 0.042), and undergoing biopsy instead of surgery (HR, 1.79; P < 0.0001) were significantly associated with decreased survival. Fewer radiotherapy cycles correlated with improved survival outcomes (HR, 0.63; P = 0.001). Cox analysis, conducted from the start of chemotherapy including bevacizumab, showed that male sex was the only variable significantly associated with decreased survival (HR, 1.18; P = 0.044).ConclusionWe found no significant difference in overall survival between the bevacizumab monotherapy and B+I groups. Considering the additional potential toxicity associated with irinotecan, bevacizumab monotherapy could be a suitable treatment option for treating recurrent glioblastoma.
