Brief Title
Bevacizumab and Erlotinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Official Title
A Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab (NSC# 704865) and OSI-774 (NSC# 718781) In Recurrent Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Carcinoma or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
Brief Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib may kill more tumor cells.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate in patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer treated with bevacizumab and erlotinib. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. II. Determine the median progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients experiencing unacceptable toxicity due to 1 of the study drugs may continue treatment with the remaining study drug alone in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
