Perren et al. 2011 (ICON7) 2006-2009 Phase 3 (E-esc) Carboplatin & Paclitaxel Did not meet co-primary endpoints of PFS/OS1

1Reported efficacy is based on the 2015 update.
Note: Bevacizumab was not given with cycle 1 if chemotherapy starts within 4 weeks of surgery. The protocol linked from Perren et al. 2011 clarifies that the recommended carboplatin dose was AUC 6, but that it could be adjusted per standard practice

Chemotherapy

Targeted therapy

  • Bevacizumab (Avastin) as follows:
    • Cycles 1 to 6: 7.5 mg/kg IV once on day 1
    • Cycles 7 to 18: 15 mg/kg IV once on day 1

21-day cycle for 18 cycles
