  • At least 6 weeks from surgical resection, 4 weeks from end of radiotherapy \& enrollment in this study
  • Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) \> or equal to 70%
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) \> or = to 9 g/deciliter (dL), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> or = to 1,500 cells/microliter, platelets \> or = to 125,000 cells/microliter;

  • May have had up to 3 biological therapies (such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, topoisomerase I or II inhibitors, or rapamycin)

Exclusion

  • Evidence of CNS hemorrhage on baseline MRI on CT scan (except for grade 1 hemorrhage that has been stable for at least 3 months)
  • History of thrombotic or hemorrhagic stroke or myocardial infarction within 6 months
  • Requires therapeutic anti-coagulation
  • At least 4 weeks from Day 0 of prior monthly chemotherapy (at least 6 weeks if a nitrosourea). At least 1 week from last dose of daily chemotherapy (such as metronomic temozolomide, cytoxan) or targeted therapies administered daily (such as gleevec, tarceva)
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring IV antibiotics \& psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, or disorders associated with significant immunocompromised state

  • Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during course of study
  • Minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0
  • Urine protein: creatinine ratio \> or = to 1.0 at screening
  • History of abdominal fistula, GI perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to Day 0
  • Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of Avastin
