Scientific titleMonitoring of treatment with bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a single centre observational study
Study objectivesObservational study, recording safety according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC), version 3.0 and evaluating efficacy in standard clinical practice.
Ethics approval(s)The National Medical Ethics Committee, Ministry of Health, Republic of Slovenia approved on the 11th December 2007 (ref: 71/12/07)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMetastatic colorectal cancer
InterventionNon-interventional, observational study.

Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer are treated with standard chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab as per SmPC. During the treatment adverse events of special interest to bevacizumab (high blood pressure, haemorrhage, thromboembolism, proteinuria, GI perforation, neutropenia, infection etc.) are recorded according the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC), version 3.0.

Assessments are performed at baseline, 3 and 6 months, thereafter follow-up is every 3 months (3 years follow-up).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Safety of treatment with bevacizumab
2. Response rate: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
3. Rate of radical surgical resection (R0 resection)
Secondary outcome measures1. Progression- free survival (PFS)
2. Overall survival (OS)
Overall study start date31/12/2007
Completion date31/12/2012
