چکیده

There is little evidence to guide the choice of chemotherapeutic agents for osseous metastases in medulloblastoma. Recently, triple therapy with temozolomide, irinotecan, and bevacizumab has been reported to have efficacy in recurrent medulloblastoma, and this regimen alone and in combination with other agents has been tested in several early-phase clinical trials. Here we report a 20-year-old woman with multiply-relapsed medulloblastoma with numerous osseous metastases 8 years after original diagnosis who responded dramatically to temozolomide, irinotecan, and bevacizumab therapy. This case highlights the potential for this regimen in treating osseous metastases in medulloblastoma.

Reinduction of Bevacizumab in Combination with Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in a Patient with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Who Progressed on Bevacizumab/Irinotecan

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) carries a dismal prognosis despite the current standard of multimodality treatments. Recent studies showed promising results to a regimen consisting of a VEGF inhibitor, (bevacizumab) and a topoisomerase I inhibitor (irinotecan) [BI] in recurrent GBM. However, those patients with GBM who progress on BI will succumb to their disease generally in a very short period ...

CLINICAL STUDY – PATIENT STUDY Treatment of children with recurrent high grade gliomas with a bevacizumab containing regimen

Children with recurrent high grade gliomas (HGG) have a dismal outcome with a median progression free survival (PFS) of 12 weeks. Adults with recurrent HGG treated with irinotecan and bevacizumab reportedly have a 63% response rate and a median PFS of 23 weeks. There is a paucity of corresponding published pediatric data. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients less than 21 years of...

Pilot study of vincristine, oral irinotecan, and temozolomide (VOIT regimen) combined with bevacizumab in pediatric patients with recurrent solid tumors or brain tumors.

BACKGROUND The combination of vincristine, oral irinotecan, and temozolomide (VOIT regimen) has shown antitumor activity in a pediatric Phase I trial. To further potentiate synergy, we assessed the safety and feasibility of adding bevacizumab to VOIT for children and young adults with recurrent tumors. METHODS Patients received vincristine (1.5 mg/m(2) on day 1), oral irinotecan (90 mg/m(2) o...
