Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety profiles of bevacizumab, the commonly used monoclonal antibody and its safety profiles were challenging, based on Chinese cancer patients.
Methods
All the papers studied on Chinese cancer patients treated by bevacizumab were found in both databases of Chinese journal database for fulltext and PubMed were collected. The commonly used efficacy index such as disease control rate (CR + PR + SD) and response rate (CR + PR) were analyzed, and the bevacizumab related side effects were analyzed too.
Results
(1) There were ten original papers contained total 199 patients who were the candidates to analyze the safety profiles, and 115 patients with colorectal cancer in five papers who were candidates to analyze the efficacy. (2) Nine in ten papers set the dose of bevacizumab in 2.5 mg/kg/week — 5 mg/kg/week, and the biweekly was the standard chemotherapy interval. (3) The disease control rate and response rate in Chinese colorectal cancer patients were 85% (95% CI: 79%–92%) and 61% (95% CI: 52%–70%), respectively. (4) The side effects related to bevacizumab were rare and most of them were grades 1–2, and only one case with grade 4 bleeding was recorded and only two cases with discontinuation of bevacizumab since hemoplysis. Also, the grades 3–4 side effects related cytotoxic agents were not common.
Conclusion
This study summarized the data of Chinese cancer patients treated by bevacizumab-contained regimens, and it showed that the monoclonal antibody was effective and safe for Chinese patients as the West patients.
