Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity [ Time Frame: 2 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Grade 3 or higher adverse event in the "Nervous System Disorder" domain of CTCAE v4.0. CNS hemorrhage is the primary toxicity to assess.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Radiographic Response [ Time Frame: 2 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Radiographic response by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)


Enrollment: 15

Study Completion Date: February 2012
Primary Completion Date: March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Avastin and Radiosurgery
Radiation: Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
Tumor Volume < 2.0cm receives 24 Gy in 1 fraction Tumor Volume 2.0-2.9cm receives 18 Gy in 1 faction Tumor Volume 3.0-4.9cm receives 25 Gy in 5Gy/fraction
Drug: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab (Avastin) 10 mg/kg given the day before SRS and 2 weeks after SRS
Other Name: Avastin

Detailed Description:

In this pilot study, 15 human subjects with recurrent, unifocal malignant gliomas up to 5-cm in maximum dimension no longer responding to conventional chemotherapy but able to tolerate further chemotherapy will be enrolled. The primary endpoint of this study will be the proportion of patients who experience CNS toxicity, with secondary endpoints progression-free survival, overall survival, steroid dosage, development of radionecrosis, quality of life, objective radiographic response and performance status.
