Interventions

  • bevacizumab, Paclitaxel — BIOLOGICAL
    Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) i.v. is given every two weeks. Paclitaxel (90 mg/m2) i.v. is given on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 4 week cycle.
  • Bevacizumab, Cyclophosphamide, Capecitabine — BIOLOGICAL
    Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) i.v. is given every two weeks. Cyclophosphamide (50 mg) and capecitabine (3x 500 mg) p.o. are given daily

Study Details

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, cyclophosphamide, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab is more effective when given together with paclitaxel or cyclophosphamide and capecitabine in treating patients with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects of giving bevacizumab together with paclitaxel and to see how well it works compared with giving bevacizumab together with cyclophosphamide and capecitabine as first-line therapy in treating women with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic breast cancer.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Arm A: bevacizumab and paclitaxel
    Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) i.v. is given every two weeks. Paclitaxel (90 mg/m2) i.v. is given on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 4 week cycle. Both medications are given until PD, unacceptable adverse event, or consent withdrawal. If an unacceptable adverse event to any of the drugs in this treatment arm occurs the remaining tolerated drug is given until PD, consent withdrawal, or unacceptable adverse event according to local investigators opinion.
  • Active Comparator: Arm B: bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide and capecitabine
    Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) i.v. is given every two weeks. Cyclophosphamide (50 mg) and capecitabine (3x 500 mg) p.o. are given daily. All three medications are given until PD, unacceptable adverse event, or consent withdrawal. If an unacceptable adverse event to any of the drugs in this treatment arm occurs the remaining tolerated drug(s) is (are) given until PD, consent withdrawal, or unacceptable adverse event according to local investigators opinion
