Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with radiation therapy and cisplatin works in treating patients with previously untreated locally advanced cervical cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of cervical cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with radiation therapy and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.

- description
- Patients undergo pelvic EBRT once daily, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks for a total of 45 Gy. Some patients also undergo low-dose rate brachytherapy twice, 1-3 weeks apart, beginning \>= 4 weeks after initiating EBRT or high-dose rate brachytherapy 5 times, \>= 48 hours apart, beginning \>= 2 weeks after initiating EBRT. EBRT and chemotherapy are halted on the day of high-dose rate brachytherapy. Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 35.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Number of Subjects With Treatment-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events (AEs) as Assessed by CTCAE v. 3.0 Criteria Within the First 90 Days From Treatment Start.
- timeFrame
- From start of treatment to 90 days.
- description
- Adverse events (AEs) graded using CTCAE v3.0. Grade (Gr) refers to the severity of the AE and assigns Gr 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: 1= Mild AE, 2= Moderate AE, 3= Severe AE, 4= Life-threatening or disabling AE, 5= Death related to AE. Treatment-related SAEs defined as Grade (Gr) \>= 4 vaginal bleeding, Gr \>=4 thrombotic event, Gr \>=3 arterial event, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding , or bowel/bladder perforation, and any Gr 5 treatment-related AE. Treatment-related AEs defined as all SAEs, Gr 3-4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea persisting for \>2 weeks despite medical intervention, Gr 4 neutropenia or leukopenia persisting for \>7 days, febrile neutropenia defined as a temperature \>38.5 degree Celsius and granulocytes \< 1000/mm3, Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicity with the exception of neutropenia and leukopenia, and Grade 3-4 GI, renal, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or neurologic AEs.
