Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine how well the combination of bevacizumab and carboplatin works in treating breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Bevacizumab is an antibody (a protein that attacks a foreign substance in the body) that is made in the laboratory. Bevacizumab works differently from the way chemotherapy drugs work. Usually chemotherapy drugs attack fast growing cancer cells in the body. Bevacizumab works to slow or stop the growth of cells in cancer tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors. When the blood supply is decreased, the tumors don't get the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow. Carboplatin is in a class of drugs known as platinum-containing compounds and has been approved for use in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Information from other research studies suggests that the combination of bevacizumab with carboplatin may be effective in treating breast cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

This study used a two-stage design to evaluate efficacy bevacizumab and carboplatin based on Central Nervous System (CNS) response. The null and alternative therapy response rates are 5% versus 20%. If 1 or more participants assessable in the stage one cohort (n=12 assessable participants) achieve CNS response then accrual proceeds to stage two (n=25 additional assessable participants). If at least 4 participants in the final set of 37 assessable participants achieve CNS response then this regimen would be deemed worthy of further study. The probability of stopping early is 0.54 if the true CNS response rate is 5% and 0.07 if the true CNS response rate is 20%. The probability of deeming the treatment worthy of further study is 0.10 and 0.90 if the true CNS response rate is 5% and 20%, respectively. ;
