Table 1.

Selected phase II and III, finished or ongoing, clinical trials of anti-angiogenic therapy in glioblastoma, alone or in combination with other treatments.

Clinical Trial Reference Intervention Mechanism of Action Patient Population Design Primary Endpoint PFS Conclusion
Sharma et al. 2019 [74] Dovitinib Tyrosine-kinase receptor inhibitor Recurrent or Progressive GBM Phase II, non-randomized, parallel PFS 6 months PFS-6 12% in anti-angiogenic naïve and 0% in anti-angiogenic exposed Dovitinib was not efficacious in recurrent GBM
Bota et al. 2021 [75] Marizomib Panproteanoma inhibitor + monoclonal antibody anti-VEGF Recurrent or Progressive GBM Phase II, non-randomized, intra-patient dose escalation PFS 6 months PFS-6 29.8%
OS 9.1 months
No benefit of the addition of marizomib to bevacizumab
Cloughesy et al. 2020 [76] VB-111 + bevacizumab Oncolytic virus + anti-VEGF Recurrent GBM Phase III OS OS 6.8 months No benefit and higher rates of adverse events
Brenner et al. 2021 [77] Evofosfamide + bevacizumab hypoxia activated pro-drug + anti-VEGF Recurrent GBM Phase II single-arm Safety PFS-4 31%
OS 4.6 months
Deserves further investigation
Lee et al. 2021 [78] Trebananib + bevacizumab Sequester Ang1/Ang2 + anti-VEGF Recurrent GBM Phase II randomized PFS 6 months PFS-6 22.6% Detrimental (lower PFS than bevacizumab alone)
