AVOREN

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety

of bevacizumab in combination with interferon alfa-2a (Roferon) versus

interferon alfa-2a and placebo as first-line treatment administered to nephrectomized patients with

metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Multinational ex-US study: 101 study sites in 18 countries

Objectives

Primary objective To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of

bevacizumab plus IFN-α2a as compared with IFN-α2a alone based on overall survival

Secondary objectives Progression-free survival, time to disease progression,

time to treatment failure and objective response rates of bevacizumab plus IFN-α2a compared with IFN-α2a alone

Safety profile of bevacizumab plus IFN-α2a versus IFN-α2a alone

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of bevacizumab

AVOREN

Statistical design

• Sample size calculation• 80% power to detect an improvement in overall survival from

13 to 17 months with a HR of 0.76 at a significance level of 0.05• required 445 events among 638 patients• interim analysis prespecified at 250 events

• A final progression-free survival analysis was specified in the Statistical Analysis Plan to occur at the time ofan interim overall survival analysis

• at least 90% power to detect an improvement in progression-free survival with a HR of 0.71 at a significance level of 0.05

• the study would be unblinded after the final progression-free survival analysis and continued on survival follow-up

Key eligibility criteria

RECIST = Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors; CNS = central nervous system

Conclusions

Bevacizumab + IFN is an option in first-line treatment for patients with metastatic/advanced RCC

Bevacizumab + IFN significantly improves PFS as first-line therapy of patients with metastatic RCC

Although not statistically significant, a trend towards improved OS was

observed with bevacizumab + IFN combination. The results have been

confounded by• post-protocol bevacizumab• subsequent therapies

It seems that if IFN dose is reduced to manage side effects, clinical benefit is maintained

Bevacizumab plus IFN has a well-characterised tolerability profile

• Combinación aumenta supervivencia en Oncología:• mama, pulmón, colon, testículo, Ewing´s, osteosarcoma,

LNH, leucemias …

• ¿combinar o secuenciar?• En contra de combinar:

– Tratamientos paliativos– Más fármacos = más toxicidad (disminuir dosis)

• A favor de combinar:– Más fármacos, más actividad inicial– Estudios de “tracking” en USA sugieren que 1/3 pacientes que

progresan a una línea de tratamiento, no pueden seguir ttos.– Aparición de clones resistentes es función del tiempo (Goldie

Coldman)
