ESMO - ICON 7 - Avastin Shows Promise For Ovarian Cancer Treatment
Further evidence that Avastin improved progression free survival in women with ovarian cancer was presented by researchers at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress in Milan, Italy. A new Phase III Avastin (ICON7) trial showed again that women with chemotherapy-naïve ovarian cancer had better progression free survival compared to women only on chemotherapy. A chemotherapy-naïve patient is one who has never received chemotherapy.
ICON7 is the second Phase III clinical trial on Avastin for ovarian cancer treatment. It compared chemotherapy-naïve women on Avastin plus chemotherapy versus similar patients on just chemotherapy. PFS (progression free survival) was approximately 27% better among those in the Avastin group; this corresponded to a 21% drop in the chances of cancer progression to death, the investigators explained. GOG0218, the first Phase III pivotal Avastin trial, had demonstrated earlier this year that Avastin plus chemotherapy and then alone gave ovarian cancer patients a 54% higher chance of progression free survival compared to women on chemotherapy alone.The Avastin dosage was smaller in the ICON7 trial, which also lasted less time....cont'd
