Avastin, 25 Mg/mL Intravenous Solution →

Avastin, 25 Mg/mL Intravenous Solution: Experimental group/ Patients randomized to the experimental group of the trial will receive bevacizumab as an IV infusion at a dose of 10 mg/kg, administered in 2 preparations of 5 mg/kg, every 2 weeks. Patients will receive treatment until progression, patient refusal, or unacceptable toxicity. Control group: Patients randomized to the control group of the trial will receive bevacizumab at a dose of 5 mg/kg and placebo (NaCl) every two weeks. Patients will receive treatment until progression, patient refusal, or unacceptable toxicity.

Study summary

Bevacizumab is a standard drug for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability was observed for bevacizumab and an exposure-response relationship for efficacy was described for bevacizumab in mCRC patients treated with 1st-line bevacizumab-based chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged ≥18 years. * Histologically proven metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (on primary tumor and/or metastases) inoperable, well documented, i.e. not compatible with complete oncological resection at inclusion. * For whom treatment with bevacizumab is indicated. * For women of childbearing age: effective contraception. * ECOG Performance status (PS) 0-2. * No prior treatment of metastatic disease (in the case of adjuvant treatment, interval between the end of chemotherapy and relapse \> 6 months if fluoropyrimidine alone or \> 12 months if FOLFOX). * At least one evaluable or measurable lesion assessed by computed tomography (CT) according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. * Life expectancy greater than 3 months. * Adequate hematological, renal and hepatic biological parameters: neutrophils ≥ 1.5x109/L; platelets ≥ 100x109/L; hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; serum creatinine \<150 μmol/L; bilirubinemia ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), alkaline phosphatase \< 5xULN; proteinuria \< 2+ (urine dipstick) or ≤ 1 g/24h. * Written informed consent signed by the patient. * Patient affiliated to a French social security system. Randomization criteria in the experimental phase: \- Serum concentration of bevacizumab on D14 ≤ 15.5 mg/L (measured just before the 2nd infusion of bevacizumab). Exclusion Criteria: Less than 6 months from the end of any prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy or adjuvant surgery. * Patient with a known non-indication or contraindication to first-line chemotherapy based on bevacizumab. * Cardiovascular contraindication to the prescription of bevacizumab: heart failure, cardiovascular event within 6 months, NYHA ≥ 2 (New York Heart Association), poorly controlled arterial hypertension, history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy; Grade 3/4 anterior venous thromboembolism (NCI-CTCAE) * Inadequate hematological, hepatic and renal function * Urine test strip for proteinuria ≥ 2+ unless proteinuria \< 1 g / 24 hours is demonstrated. * Current or recent (within 10 days of study enrollment) use of aspirin (\>325 mg/day) or clopidogrel (\>75 mg/day). * Current or recent use (within 10 days before the first dose of bevacizumab) of oral or parenteral therapeutic anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents for therapeutic purposes. * Untreated CNS metastases or treatment of brain metastases, either by surgical or radiological techniques, must have been completed more than 4 weeks before the first study treatment. * Surgical procedure (including open biopsy, surgical resection, wound revision, or other major surgery involving entry into a body cavity) or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study enrollment or anticipation of study need for major surgery during the study. * Serious non-healing wound, active ulcer or untreated bone fracture. * Other neoplasias (previous or current), except: * i/ carcinoma in situ of the cervix adequately treated, * ii/ basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, * iii/ cancer in complete remission for more than 5 years. * Other illnesses, which, according to the doctor, are life-threatening to the patient and/or which are uncontrolled. * Primary tumor in place and symptomatic (occlusion, hemorrhage). * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Patients unable to give consent. * Patients under guardianship, curatorship or legal protection.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) — up to death
    The SS was defined as the time interval for randomized patients between the date of start of treatment and date of first clinical and/or radiological progression or death whatever the cause, in depending on what survives first.of first clinical and/or radiological progression or death whatever the cause, in depending on what survives first.progression (PD) per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. A patient alive without progression will be censored on the date from the last follow-up visit.
