Friedman et al. 2009 (AVF3708g) 2006-2007 Phase 2

Note: AVF3708g described 6-week cycles in which treatment was every 2 weeks, given up to 104 weeks, and was otherwise identical, so its entry was consolidated with the other ones here.

Chemotherapy

  • Irinotecan (Camptosar) 125 mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes once on day 1, given first
    • Patients receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) are treated with a higher dose: 340 mg/m2 or 350 mg/m2 (Chen et al. 2007) IV over 90 minutes once on day 1, given first

Targeted therapy

  • Bevacizumab (Avastin) 10 mg/kg IV once on day 1, given second, 90 minutes after the start of irinotecan
    • Infusion times for bevacizumab are 90 minutes for the first dose, then if tolerated, 60 minutes for the second dose, and 30 minutes for the third dose and later

Supportive therapy

  • Steroids were generally maintained at the same dose

14-day cycles
