A Potential Administration-time Dependent Effect of Bevacizumab in Improving Overall Survival and Increasing Metastasis in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Background: One of the major adverse effects of maternal ethanol consumption is intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Previous studies demonstrated that ethanol-induced IUGR is mediated by impaired placentation. Chronic gestational ethanol exposure reduces trophoblastic cell motility and invasiveness through inhibition of insulin/IGF signaling leading to impaired vascular transformation at the implantation site. Furthermore, ethanol reduces the number of secondary giant cells that mediate vascular invasion i… Show more

“…The ARTIST study was the only randomized Phase III clinical trial, and it found that both OS and PFS were improved with the addition of bevacizumab 5. Then, our previous case-control study, which analyzed data from patients before 2010, found that when bevacizumab was used for at least four cycles, there was an improvement of OS, although the PFS was not investigated 31. Recently, a retrospective study with a small patient number showed the efficacy and safety profiles of bevacizumab in first-line, second-line, and even the third-line treatment in Chinese patients 32.…”

“…Patients in chemotherapy plus bevacizumab group received more than 4 cycles bevacizumab (at a dose of 5 mg/kg on day 1) 17 was administered as a combination with the standard oxaliplatin-based or irinotecan-based first-line chemotherapy. None of the patients had previously or subsequently received other target therapies.…”

“…Patients who met the following criterions were selected as study group: 1) Diagnosed as mCRC based on pathological specimens of the primary tumor, at the same time with clinical and/or pathological evidences of distant metastasis lesion, at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from 2007 to 2013 and finished the entire course of first- and second-line chemotherapy in this center 2) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2; 3) Bevacizumab was added to the palliative regimens including oxaliplatin-based, irinotecan-based regimens and so on; 4) More than 4 cycles of bevacizumab was required, since 4 cycles was considered the minimum course for the patients got benefit from bevacizummab in our previous study 22 . Meanwhile, the consecutive mCRC patients in the control group met the same criterions with the study group except for bevacizumab administration.…”
