Vredenburgh and colleagues conducted the first phase II study of bevacizumab plus irinotecan in recurrent malignant glioma, confirming the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab. This study, which was published in the February 15, 2007, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, was a stepping stone for subsequent research, leading to regulatory approval of bevacizumab for recurrent glioblastoma.
