Abstract:e14600 Background: We report our initial experience with fixed dose bevacizumab at 200mg (approximately 3mg/kg). Phase I studies suggested that an optimal dose for phase II studies with bevacizumab is 3mg/kg and that circulating VEGF was undetectable at 0.3mg/kg. (Gordon et al. JCO 2001) We proposed a fixed-dose regimen of bevacizumab which we hypothesized would yield equivalent response rates with reduced toxicities and cost versus higher-dose regimens. Patients with advanced malignancies for whom bevacizuma… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
