Androgen Deprivation Therapy +/- Bevacizumab for PSA Recurrence of Prostate Cancer After Definitive Local Therapy

September 12, 2016 updated by: Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Randomized Phase II Trial of Short-Course Androgen Deprivation Therapy +/- Bevacizumab for PSA Recurrence of Prostate Cancer After Definitive Local Therapy

The purpose of this research study is to assess the efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy (bevacizumab) and androgen deprivation versus androgen deprivation alone at the time of minimal systemic disease (based on rising PSA without metastases).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

  • Participants will be randomized into one of two study groups. The first group will receive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) plus bevacizumab. The second group will receive ADT alone.
  • For the Androgen Deprivation therapy either (treating physician discretion)leuprolide or goserelin acetate (given as injections) every 3 months for a total of 6 months. Bicalutamide will also be taken orally daily for a total of 6 months.
  • Bevacizumab will be given intravenously every three weeks for a total of 8 infusions over 6 months.
  • Participants will be evaluated every 7-9 weeks with vitals, physical exam, PS, laboratories including PSA and testosterone.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • History of biopsy documented prostate cancer (any Gleason score)

  • Absolute neutrophil count of >1,500
  • Platelet count > 100,000
  • Hg > 8g/dl
  • No history of bleeding or thromboses within the last 12 months that required medical intervention

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of cancer within 5 years, other than prostate cancer and non-melanoma skin cancer
  • Medical condition requiring concomitant corticosteroids
  • Active infection
  • Prior chemotherapy allowed if was < 6 cycles and > 6 months prior to study entry
  • Documented local recurrence or metastatic prostate cancer
  • Inability to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures
  • Life expectancy of less than 2 years
  • Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned participation in an experimental drug study other than a Genentech-sponsored bevacizumab cancer study
