Study of Cetuximab and Bevacizumab in Cancer of the Esophagus After Failure of Patient's First Therapy
Phase II Study of Cetuximab and Bevacizumab in Esophageal Carcinoma That Failed First Line Therapy

Detailed Description
Cancer of the esophagus often has a poor outcome since many patients have advanced disease when they are diagnosed. The average survival rate after five years has increased from 4% in the 1970s to around 14% currently.
Surgery to remove the tumor or treatment with radiotherapy alone has led to disappointing results for patients. Chemotherapy has some activity in patients with advanced disease, although responses are usually short. New strategies are trying to combine these three treatment approaches to improve survival for these patients.
This study will test the combination of cetuximab and bevacizumab in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. This is a group of patients with usually poor outcomes from treatment with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Scientifically, this study will help assess the value in combining these two different types of drug.

III. Bevacizumab-Specific Exclusions
- Inadequately controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure >150 and/or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg on antihypertensive medications).
- Any prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure

- Urine protein: creatinine (UPC) ratio ≥ 1.0 at screening OR
- Urine dipstick for proteinuria ≥ 2+ (patients discovered to have ≥ 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤ 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible)
- Known hypersensitivity to any component of bevacizumab.
- Pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or lactating. Use of effective means of contraception (men and women) in subjects of child-bearing potential.
- History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of study enrollment.
