Background: Digestive and non-digestive cancers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are potentially sensitive to bevacizumab-based chemotherapy. Previous reports have suggested an increased toxicity in IBD patients receiving anti-VEGF agents. The safety of bevacizumab in this population is poorly documented. Methods: A retrospective review of records of patients with IBD treated with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy for metastatic solid tumors in Gustave Roussy hospital between 2007 and 2016. Results: Twenty eight patients (median age 43, range: 23-73) with a past history of IBD (6 ulcerative colitis, 22 Crohn’s disease) were identified. IBD was considered severe in four pts (13%). Patients presented a good control of IBD symptoms with a median number of 0 (range: 0-2) disease flares during the two years before bevacizumab initiation. Three patients were receiving corticosteroids, and another four were receiving mesalazine for IBD. No patient had abscess, fistula or hemorrhage at the time of bevacizumab initiation. The treated cancer was: colon (n = 8), rectum (n = 5), small bowel (n = 5), NSCLC (n = 4), ovary (n = 1), breast (n = 3) and other (n = 2). Patients received chemotherapy [5-FU-based (LV5FU2, FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) in 17, oxaliplatin in 7, irinotecan in 8, taxanes in 7] with bevacizumab given at the approved dose-intensities of 2.5 mg/kg/week (19 pts) or 5 mg/kg/week (7 pts). Records of chemotherapy from 2 patients were missing. A median number of 8 cycles of bevacizumab(range: 2-39) was given concomitantly to chemotherapy and then as maintenance therapy, with the following grade ≥2 toxicities: hypertension in 6 cases (20%) and proteinuria in 3 cases (10%). No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. No change in IBD treatment was required. One patient developed grade 2 rectorragia (identified as Crohn’s disease flare-up) after 6 months of bevacizumab+ FOLFIRI. After withdrawal of irinotecan, the patient was re-challenged with bevacizumab for another 6 cycles without recurrence of bleeding. Conclusions: In our experience, bevacizumab can be given to cancer patients with quiescent IBD at conventional doses with good clinical tolerance.
