Abstract：
:Children with recurrent high grade gliomas (HGG) have a dismal outcome with a median progression free survival (PFS) of 12 weeks. Adults with recurrent HGG treated with irinotecan and bevacizumab reportedly have a 63% response rate and a median PFS of 23 weeks. There is a paucity of corresponding published pediatric data. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients less than 21 years of age with recurrent or progressive WHO grade 3-4 gliomas who were treated with bevacizumab containing regimens at our institution between January 2006 and September 2008. We identified eight patients. Six out of eight patients received irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab, one patient received irinotecan and bevacizumab, and one patient received CCNU and bevacizumab. Three patients had stable disease for 30-93 weeks. The remaining five patients developed progressive disease within 17 weeks. The median PFS was 15 weeks and the 6-month PFS was 38%. Contrast enhancing disease responded or remained stable in five out of seven patients whereas non-enhancing disease progressed in three out of four patients. New distant non-enhancing lesions developed in three patients. The most common side effects included diarrhea, vomiting, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Bevacizumab was well tolerated when used in combination with conventional chemotherapy (irinotecan in most cases). PFS in our cohort was much shorter and the response rate was inferior in this small cohort of patients when compared with published adult data. However, bevacizumab containing regimens might be effective in a subset of pediatric patients, especially those with predominantly contrast-enhancing disease.
