Purpose
- Evaluate the addition of the anti-VEGF bevacizumab to paclitaxel as
first-line therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer
Patients and methods
- 715 patients without prior chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
enrolled
– 350 patients received paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 qwk
– 365 patients received paclitaxel + bevacizumab 10 mg/kg q2wk
- HER2-positive only if prior treatment with or contraindication
to trastuzumab
- Adjuvant taxane only if disease-free interval >12 months
- No therapeutic anticoagulation, no CNS metastases
