Abstract

Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that contains <10% murine protein. To prevent infusion‑related hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), the initial bevacizumab infusion is delivered for 90 min, the second for 60 min and subsequent doses for 30 min. Several previous studies have shown that short bevacizumab infusions are safe and do not result in severe HSRs in patients with colorectal, lung, ovarian and brain cancer. However, the efficacy of short bevacizumab infusions for colorectal cancer management remains unclear. Therefore, to investigate this issue, a prospective multicenter study was conducted using 23 patients enrolled between June 2017 and March 2019. The initial infusion of bevacizumab was for 30 min followed by a second infusion rate of 0.5 mg/kg/min (5 mg/kg over 10 min and 7.5 mg/kg over 15 min. The primary endpoint was progression‑free survival (PFS). The overall response and disease control rates were 57 and 87%, respectively. The median PFS time was 306 days (interquartile range, 204‑743 days). No HSRs were noted. Adverse events associated with bevacizumab included grade 4 small intestinal perforation and grade 3 stroke in 1 patient each. These results suggest that a short bevacizumab infusion regime comprising an initial infusion for 30 min followed by a second infusion at 0.5 mg/kg/min is safe and efficacious for the management of colorectal cancer.
