"These toxicities are essentially already included in our consent. Since we are not required to amend it further, I would favor the simple path of not doing an amendment at this time". - Howard Safran, MD

RTOG 0625 "A RANDOMIZED PHASE II TRIAL OF BEVACIZUMAB WITH IRINOTECAN OR BEVACIZUMAB WITH TEMOZOLOMIDE IN RECURRENT GLIOBLASTOMA"

"I do not think this needs an amendment because we have dosed the chemotherapy based on proven safe dosing of both". - Mark Gilbert, MD

Regardless of the amendment status of the specific protocols using Bevacizumab, a copy of this report must be sent to your IRB. A copy must also be retained in the protocol study file.
