Interventions
The bevacizumab will then be sprayed by the treating physician in the clinic, under direct observation. Spray will be achieved by administering the bevacizumab through a mucosal atomization device. 0.1cc will be sprayed into both nares. Patients will then sit for 5 minutes, the application will be repeated for a total of 40 applications, thereby administering 50mgs into each nostril, a total of 100mgs into each patient. The 5 minute spacing has been arbitrarily chosen as sufficient time for 0.1cc of solution to be absorbed by the nasal mucosa. That will complete the treatment.
