Phase2 study of bevacizumab with carboplatin–paclitaxel for non-small cell lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion

Abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is involved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with malignant pleural effusion (MPE), but little is known regarding the efficacy of bevacizumab (Bev) with carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) for NSCLC with MPE. Chemotherapy-naive non-SQ NSCLC patients with MPE were eligible to participate. Pleurodesis before chemotherapy was not allowed. In the first cycle, the treated patients received only CP to prevent Bev-induced wound healing delayed after chest drainage. Subsequently,… Show more

“…However, there are few reports about the influence of systemic treatment on MPE recurrence, specifically in NSCLC (10,11,12,38,39 (38) during a median follow-up period of 1,050 days. Our study did not evaluate any specific treatment such as the abovementioned ones, but the association between the systemic treatment phase in which the patient was and MPE recurrence.…”

“…Short-term therapeutic efficacy was evaluated as previously described [7, 15, 17] and according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Short-term efficacy was classified as either complete response (CR; effusion and symptoms disappeared and the patient was stable for > 8 weeks), partial response (PR; the size of the effusion was reduced by 50%, symptoms improved, and no subsequent growth in the effusion was observed over an 8-week period); stable disease (SD; the effusion size was reduced by < 50% or remained unchanged; and progressive disease (PD; the effusion size increased).…”

“…Symptomatic MSCE is typically treated with paracentesis and intracavitary infusion of chemotherapy, biological response modifiers, or simple puncture to drain the effusion. However, the treatment efficacy is unsatisfactory [6, 7]. …”
