Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bevacizumab when given together with fluorouracil and external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II or stage III rectal cancer Monoclonal antibodies such as bevacizumab can block cancer growth in different ways Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread Others find cancer cells and help kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

I To determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD of a vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF neutralizing antibody bevacizumab when administered concurrently with 5-fluorouracil 5-FU and external beam radiation therapy EBRT in patients with clinical stage T3 or T4 rectal cancer prior to surgery

II To obtain preliminary data of the pathological response rate after preoperative therapy

III To obtain preliminary data regarding progression free survival local control and overall survival

IV To obtain preliminary data of the changes in the angiogenic profile of rectal cancer induced by this therapy

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of bevacizumab

Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 courses 1-4 Beginning with course 2 patients also receive fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-14 and undergo external beam radiotherapy on days 1-5 and 8-12 Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients undergo surgery 7 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy

Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of bevacizumab until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity Once the MTD is determined 20 additional patients are treated at the MTD

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually for 2 years
