RECRUITING

Bevacizumab in Adults With Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease that causes wart-like growths in the airways. These growths come back when removed; some people may need 2 or more surgeries per year to keep their airways clear. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a drug called bevacizumab can reduce the number of surgeries needed in people with RRP. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with recurrent RRP; they must need surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Design: Participants will be screened. Their ability to breathe and speak will be evaluated. They will have an endoscopy: a flexible tube with a light and camera will be inserted into their nose and throat. They will have a test of their heart function and imaging scans of their chest. Participants will have surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Bevacizumab is given through a small tube placed in a vein in the arm. After the surgery, participants will receive 11 doses of this drug: every 3 weeks for 3 doses, and then every 6 weeks for 8 more doses. They will come to the clinic for each dose; each visit will be about 8 hours. Tissue samples of the growths will be collected after the second treatment; this will be done under general anesthesia. Participants may undergo apheresis: Blood will be drawn from a needle in an arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the cells needed for the study. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a second needle. Follow-up will continue for 1 year after the last treatment.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 120 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Age \>= 18 years old.
  2. * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of RRP.
  3. * Individuals must require procedure(s) to remove papillomatous disease per standard of care.(not required for re-treatment)
  4. * A history of 2 or more surgeries within 12 months prior to treatment initiation in order to control laryngeal and/or tracheal RRP (not required for re-treatment).
  5. * At least one of the following (not required for re-treatment):
  6. * A Derkay score of 8 or greater
  7. * Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 (participants with pulmonary RRP only)
  8. * Tracheal involvement with RRP that has required two or more clinical interventions in the last 12 months (two or more clinical interventions)
  9. * Tracheostomy.
  10. * ECOG performance status of 0-1.
  11. * Individuals must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  12. * White blood cells (WBC): \>2,000/microL
  13. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC): \>=1,500/microL
  14. * Hemoglobin: \>9.0 g/dL
  15. * Platelets: \>=100,000/microL
  16. * Total bilirubin: \<=1.5 mg/dL, except in participants with Gilbert s Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dL

  18. * Creatinine: within normal institutional limits
  19. * Prothrombin time (PT) /International normalized ratio (INR) and Partial thromboplastin time (PTT): \<=1 X institutional ULN. In participants on anticoagulation, coagulation tests should be within a therapeutic range.
  20. * Urinalysis: Urine dipstick \< 2+ proteinuria. In participants with \>=2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate \<=1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible
  21. * Individuals must have received their last systemic therapy for RRP \> 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to treatment initiation, except for systemic bevacizumab which must be \> 1 year prior to treatment initiation (not applicable for re-treatment)
  22. * Individuals able to become pregnant and their partners must agree to use highly effective method of contraception (hormonal, intrauterine device (IUD), surgical sterilization ) for the duration of bevacizumab treatment and up to 6 months after completion of bevacizumab treatment. NOTE: Abstinence, defined as no heterosexual sexual intercourse when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the individual is also acceptable.
  23. * Breastfeeding individuals must be willing to discontinue breastfeeding from study treatment initiation through 6 months after bevacizumab treatment discontinuation.
  24. * All individuals must have the ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent.
  25. * All individuals must be willing to undergo mandatory biopsy during the study (not applicable for re-treatment).
  1. * History of significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease or thromboembolic event: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (within 6 months prior to treatment initiation), myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to treatment initiation), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (\>= New York Heart Association Classification Class II), or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication as assessed by EKG.
  2. * History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation within 6 months prior to treatment initiation.
  3. * Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to treatment initiation.
  4. * Non-healing wound, active ulcer, or untreated bone fracture.
  5. * History of hemoptysis (\>2.5 mL of bright red blood per episode) within 1 month prior to treatment initiation.
  6. * Evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (with or without current therapeutic anticoagulation).
  7. * Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to treatment initiation.
  8. * Inadequately controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) \>150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg), an average of 3 BP readings on 2 sessions will be used to measure blood pressure if initial reading indicates inadequately controlled hypertension. NOTE: Anti-hypertensive therapy to achieve blood pressures below these parameters is allowed.
  9. * Prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
  10. * Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy of Grade \>1 per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 5.0. NOTE: alopecia, sensory neuropathy Grade \<=2 are acceptable.
