• Informed consent has been obtained.

Exclusion Criteria:

• No prior chemotherapy for metastatic or locally recurrent disease is allowed.

• Prio neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed, and patients must have recovered from the acute toxicity of such therapies.

• if a taxane was part of the adjuvant regimen, at least 12 months must have elapsed between the last dose of the taxane and the date of diagnosis of metastatic disease.

• if a non-taxane-based adjuvant therapy was administered, at least six months must have elapsed between the last dose of the non- taxane-containing chemotherapy and the date of diagnosis of metastatic disease.

• Concurrent immunotherapy or hormonal therapy.

• Parenchymal brain metastases, including leptomeningeal involvement.

• Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure of > 150/100 mmHg)

• NYHA Grade 2 or greater congestive heart failure

• History of coagulopathy, bleeding diathesis, therapeutic anticoagulation other than low dose or chronic ASA greater than or equal to 325 mg per day. Low dose coumadin for anticoagulation of venous access device or low dose molecular weight heparin (LMWH)for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis or low dose (325 mg or less) ASA prophylaxis are allowed, but are best avoided if the treating physician feels it is safe to do so.

• Urine protein:creatinine ratio less than or equal to 1.0 at screening.

• No history of cerebrovascular accident within six months of study entry.

• Active symptomatic peripheral vascular disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm, claudication) within six months of study entry.

• Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction or unstable angina within six months of study entry.

• No history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal process within six months of study entry.

• No serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture

• Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to first dose, or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study. No minor surgical procedure within seven days of study entry. Serious intercurrent medical or psychiatric illness, including serious active infection.

• History of other malignancy within the last 5 years which could affect the diagnosis or assessment of breast cancer.

• Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned participation in an experimental drug study.

• Pregnant or nursing women.

• Patients with current sensory neuropathy of > Grade 1 will be excluded.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Participants With At Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)	Count of study participants who had at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) defined as any adverse event that began or worsened in grade after the start of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug.	up to 25 months
Primary	Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Progression-free Survival	Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the start of disease progression or patient death, whichever occurs first. Patients who do not have disease progression or have not died at the end of follow-up were censored at the last known time the patient was progression free. Patients that initiate other anticancer therapy prior to progression were censored at the time when new anticancer therapy was initiated.; Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) defines progressive disease (PD) as a >= 20% increase taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters recorded since the treatment started; or the appearance of one or more new lesions; or the unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion.	up to 39 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Objective Confirmed Complete or Partial Overall Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)	Objective response is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR). RECIST defines overall response of CR as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions, confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. Overall response of PR is defined as >= 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions and no progression of non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions, confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. PR is also recorded when all measurable disease has completely disappeared, but a non-measurable component (i.e., ascites) is still present but not progressing and no appearance of new lesions. The objective response is determined by combining the response of target and non-target lesions and the appearance of new lesion(s) or not together.	up to 39 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Stable Disease for >= 16 Weeks, or Complete or Partial Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)	Disease control is stable disease (SD) for >=16 weeks + complete response (CR) + partial response (PR). RECIST defines SD as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease and no new lesions. Definitions for CR and PR can be found in outcome #3.	up to 39 months
Secondary	Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Duration of Response	Duration of response is defined as progression-free survival in responders, i.e. as the time between the start of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and the start of progressive disease (PD) or patient death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Patients that did not have progression or have not died were censored at the last known time the patient was progression free. Patients that initiate other anticancer therapy prior to progression were censored at the time when new anticancer therapy was initiated.; Progressive disease is defined in outcome #2. Complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) are defined in outcome #3.	up to 39 months
Secondary	Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Participant Survival	Participant survival is the time from the first dose of study drug to patient death from any cause. Patients that did not die were censored at the last known time the patient was alive.	up to 39 months
