Brief summary

This phase I/II trial will evaluate the bevacizumab/erlotinib combination with the addition of imatinib (Gleevec). The combined inhibition greatly enhances the anti-tumor effects. Although the safety of the bevacizumab/erlotinib/imatinib combination has not yet been demonstrated, the mild to moderate side effects of all of these agents are not predicted to cause prohibitive toxicity. A brief phase I portion will be included in this trial, to optimize doses of the 3 agents prior to proceeding with the phase II trial.

Detailed description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will be receive: Bevacizumab + Erlotinib + Imatinib A brief phase I dose escalation study will be performed to define the imatinib dose that will be used.

Outcome results

Primary

Objective Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Time frame: 18 months

Population: Eighty-seven of 94 patients (93%) received ≥ 2 months of treatment and were fully evaluable for response. Seven patients discontinued treatment during the first 8 weeks. One of these 7 patients had evidence of rapid tumor progression, whereas the remaining 6 patients discontinued treatment because of toxicity or for personal reasons.
