About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of Proteinuria in Patients Receiving Shortened Infusions of Bevacizumab

This is a clinical research study to look at the incidence of proteinuria (a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein) caused by shortened infusions (given into the vein over 10 or 15 minutes) of bevacizumab (a medication prescribed for colon, lung, or breast cancer). There are currently no published studies or clinical data looking at how safe shortened infusions of bevacizumab are in relationship to the side effect of proteinuria. We hypothesis that shortened infusions of bevacizumab will result in an increased risk for proteinuria compared to the standard infusions of this agent.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the effect of shortened infusions (0.5 mg/kg/min) of bevacizumab on the incidence of proteinuria.

    Measured: 3-6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the time (number of days) to the incidence of proteinuria with shortened infusions of bevacizumab AND to evaluate the effect of controlled versus uncontrolled hypertension and the incidence of proteinuria.

    Measured: 3-6 months
