Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There are currently no validated biomarkers predicting bevacizumab treatment outcome or toxicity. We combined biomarker data from six phase III trials of bevacizumab to assess whether genetic variation in vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) pathway or hypertension-related genes are associated with bevacizumab-induced hypertension. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Germline DNA was available from 1,631...
