description To evaluate the effect of Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy on overall survival of patients with metastatic solid tumors. A systematic literature search to identify randomized trials comparing chemotherapy with and without Bevacizumab in metastatic cancer. The primary end point was overall survival (OS) and the secondary end points were progression free survival (PFS) and toxicity. A meta-analysis was performed for each tumor type and for the combination of all tumors. 24 randomized trials with 8 different types of malignancies were included in this meta-analysis. Patients treated with Bevacizumab had an OS benefit, hazard ratio (HR) 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.93, P

Patients treated with Bevacizumab had an OS benefit, hazard ratio (HR) 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.93, P&lt;0.00001 I(2)-4%). The combined analysis showed a PFS benefit with a HR 0.71 (95% CI 0.68-0.74, P&lt;0.00001, I(2)-54%). The toxicity analysis showed a statistically significant increase in fatal adverse events (FAEs) in the Bevacizumab treatment arm, risk ratio (RR) 1.47 (95% CI 1.1-1.98). A separate analysis of the lung cancer trials showed an increased risk of fatal pulmonary hemorrhage with a RR of 5.65 (95% CI 1.26-25.26). The risk of G3-4 adverse events was increased: RR 1.2 (95% CI 1.15-1.24). in this combined analysis Bevacizumab improved OS (with little heterogeneity) and PFS. These results should be considered in the light of lack of markers predictive of response and the increased severe and fatal toxicity seen with Bevacizumab treatment.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0051780</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23349675</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Public Library of Science</publisher><subject>Analysis ; Angiogenesis inhibitors ; Angiogenesis Inhibitors - adverse effects ; Angiogenesis Inhibitors - pharmacology ; Angiogenesis Inhibitors - therapeutic use ; Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized - adverse effects ; Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized - pharmacology ; Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized - therapeutic use ; Bevacizumab ; Breast cancer ; Cancer ; Cancer metastasis ; Care and treatment ; Chemotherapy ; Clinical trials ; Colorectal cancer ; Health risks ; Hemorrhage ; Humans ; Immunotherapy ; Lung cancer ; Lung diseases ; Medicine ; Meta-analysis ; Metastases ; Monoclonal antibodies ; Neoplasm Metastasis ; Neoplasms - drug therapy ; Neoplasms - pathology ; Patients ; Randomization ; Risk ; Solid tumors ; Statistical analysis ; Studies ; Survival ; Survival Analysis ; Systematic review ; Targeted cancer therapy ; Toxicity ; Tumors ; Vascular endothelial growth factor</subject><ispartof>PloS one, 2013-01, Vol.8 (1), p.e51780</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2013 Public Library of Science</rights><rights>2013 Amit et al.
