Bevacizumab and re-irradiation for recurrent high grade gliomas: does sequence matter?

Abstract: The combination of FSRT and BEV for recurrent/progressive HGG provides promising results in terms of overall survival and survival from recurrence. Combining these treatment modalities appears to improve upon the historic outcomes of either treatment alone. The outcomes data from this study support the ongoing RTOG trial exploring the combination of BEV and FSRT for recurrent HGG.

“…These observations are corroborated by data from a randomized phase II trial of APG101 (a CD95 ligand-binding fusion protein) plus reirradiation versus reirradiation only in progressive glioblastoma (a median overall survival of 11.5 months in each group) [134]. A recent retrospective study suggests that a combination of bevacizumab and re-irradiation (fractionated stereotactic RT) for progressive or recurrent high-grade gliomas may moderately increase median overall survival (>13 months from recurrence) [135]. A randomized phase II trial of concurrent bevacizumab and re-irradiation versus bevacizumab only for recurrent glioblastoma patients is ongoing (NCT01730950).…”

“…1 , 2 Despite standard therapy including surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy have been widely adopted, the average survival time is only about 15 months, whereas the 5-year survival rate is only 4–5%, 3 5 Irrespective of the current aggressive and multi-model first-line approaches of diagnosis and treatment, recurrence of glioblastoma (GBM) is practically inevitable, with an average time of recurrence is less than 10 months. 2 , 6 8 Various treatments modalities are utilized, including repeat resection, irradiation, and systemic agents; however, the prognosis for these patients remains discouraging. The need for more innovative therapeutic strategies to expedite recurrent glioma therapeutics is imperative.…”
