Bevacizumab and erlotinib in previously untreated inoperable and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma
American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 05/29/2013
Clinical Article
Govindarajan R et al. – The 28% progression-free survival
rate at 27 weeks was not significantly higher than the recent historical
control rate of 20% observed on the placebo arm of the Sorafenib
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Assessment Randomized Protocol trial (P=0.28).
The combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib does not appear to have
sufficient efficacy in patients with unresectable and metastatic HCC not
amenable to local therapy.
