Brief Summary
RATIONALE: 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...
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Primary * Identify the clinical efficacy of bevacizumab and sorafenib, as measured by 6-month progression-free survival, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Secondary *...

- No known HIV positivity
- No concurrent uncontrolled illness including, but not limited to, the following:
- Ongoing or active infection
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina pectoris
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- No inadequately controlled hypertension (i.e., systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \> 150 mm Hg or diastolic BP \> 100 mm Hg while on antihypertensive medications)
- Patients with well-controlled hypertension are eligible
- No myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the past 6 months
- No congestive heart failure requiring the use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias
- No New York Heart Association class II-IV congestive heart failure
- No significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection)
- No peripheral arterial thrombosis within the past 6 months
- No stroke or transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months
- No history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
- No evidence of bleeding diathesis (greater than normal risk of bleeding) or coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation)
- No active or recent history of hemoptysis (i.e., ≥ ½ teaspoon of bright red blood per episode) within the past 30 days
- No serious, nonhealing wounds, ulcers, or bone fractures
- No condition that impairs the ability to swallow pills (e.g., gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation)
- No abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within the past 6 months
- No significant traumatic injury within the past 28 days
- No known hypersensitivity to any of the components of sorafenib or bevacizumab
- No other active malignancy within the past 3 years, except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- Patients with a history of prior malignancy must not be receiving specific treatment (other than hormonal therapy) for that malignancy
- No co-morbid systemic illness or other concurrent severe disease that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or significantly interfere with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed study regimen
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- At least 12 weeks since prior radiotherapy
- More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas)
- More than 2 weeks since prior small molecule cell cycle inhibitors
- At least 1 week since prior fixed-dose corticosteroids (or no corticosteroids)
- No prior intratumoral chemotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery or interstitial brachytherapy unless there is a separate lesion on MRI that is not part of the prior treatment field OR there is proof of recurrent disease based on biopsy, MRI spectroscopy, or PET scan
- No prior antiangiogenic therapy
- No prior surgical procedures affecting absorption
- More than 7 days since prior core biopsy or other minor surgical procedures
- Placement of a vascular access device is allowed
- More than 28 days since prior major surgical procedure or open biopsy
- No concurrent major surgical procedure
- No other concurrent investigational agents
- No concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (e.g., phenytoin, fosphenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or primidone)
- No other concurrent potent CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin or St. John's wort)
