Brief Summary:
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bevacizumab in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies such as bevacizumab may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Bevacizumab may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the 6-month progression-free survival rate in patients with relapsed aggressive NHL treated with single agent bevacizumab therapy.
II. To evaluate response rate and toxicity in patients with relapsed aggressive NHL treated with this regimen.
III. To measure tumor VEGF and VEGF receptor 1 and 2 expression (Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR) and to explore the correlation between expression level and histology and response.
IV. To measure pre-therapy, week 8 and time to progression biologic measures of VEGF activity including plasma VEGF levels, urinary VEGF levels, and circulating number of endothelial cells and explore the correlation with response.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years
