Popis: Introduction/Background In the phase III GOG240 trial, combining bevacizumab with paclitaxel and cisplatin/topotecan for advanced cervical cancer significantly improved overall and progression-free survival. The single-arm phase II CECILIA study (NCT02467907) evaluated bevacizumab with a more widely used chemotherapy backbone. Methodology The primary objective was to determine the safety of bevacizumab/carboplatin/paclitaxel for advanced cervical cancer, defined by the frequency and severity of gastrointestinal (GI) perforation/fistula, GI-vaginal fistula and genitourinary (GU) fistula. Eligible patients had metastatic/recurrent/persistent cervical cancer not amenable to curative surgery and/or radiotherapy. Patients with ongoing bladder/rectal involvement, prior cobalt radiotherapy, history of fistula/GI perforation, or bowel resection ≤6 weeks or chemoradiation ≤3 months before starting bevacizumab were excluded. Patients received bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC5 q3w until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal. If any drug was stopped for toxicity, the remaining drug(s) could be continued alone. Results Between July 2015 and December 2016, 150 patients began treatment. Baseline characteristics at study entry were: 20%/53%/27% with persistent/recurrent/de novo metastatic disease; 71%/58%/59% with prior radiotherapy/chemoradiation/platinum. Median treatment duration was 6.7 (range Conclusion Bevacizumab can be combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy in the cervical cancer population treated in CECILIA. The fistula/GI perforation incidence is in line with GOG240. Efficacy results are encouraging.
