Purpose The combination of gemcitabine plus bevacizumab produced a 21% response rate
and a median survival of 8.8 months in a multicenter phase II trial in patients with metastatic
pancreatic cancer. These encouraging data led Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) to
conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial of gemcitabine/
bevacizumab versus gemcitabine/placebo in advanced pancreatic cancer patients.
Abstract
Purpose
The combination of gemcitabine plus bevacizumab produced a 21% response rate and a median survival of 8.8 months in a multicenter phase II trial in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. These encouraging data led Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial of gemcitabine/bevacizumab versus gemcitabine/placebo in advanced pancreatic cancer patients.
