Bevacizumab in Pats w/ Recurrent ST Brain Metas Who Have Failed Whole Brain Radiation Therapy
NCT01898130 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a study to evaluate a drug called bevacizumab in patients with cancer whose disease has spread to their brain. This study will not evaluate the effect of bevacizumab on the systemic solid tumor cancer. Bevacizumab is a medication and it is thought that bevacizumab may interfere with the growth of new blood vessels; therefore it might stop tumor growth and possibly shrink the tumor by keeping it from receiving nutrients and oxygen supplied by the blood vessels.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01898130
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01898130 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 27 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Northwestern University, which has 1,033 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Metastatic Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which quality-of-life assessment is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01898130 reports 4 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Illinois, New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
