| Purpose: |
|
RATIONALE: 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.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in treating patients
with recurrent sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary.

| Study summary: |
|
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To estimate the anti-tumor activity of bevacizumab by assessing the frequency of
objective response in patients with recurrent sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary.
Secondary
- To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in these patients.
- To determine the overall survival of these patients.
- To determine the progression-free survival of these patients.
Tertiary
- To quantify expression of angiogenic or lymphangiogenic markers in recurrent stromal
tumors of the ovary to determine frequency of alterations and potential utility of
biologic agents directed at these proteins for inclusion in future studies.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6
months for 3 years, and then periodically thereafter. |
