Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of biweekly docetaxel and bevacizumab in the first line treatment of metastatic breast cancer by using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST criteria) and NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTC-AE) version 3. In addition several biochemical makers are tested as possible predictive factors.

Description:

Patients with histologically or cytologically proven measurable or nonmeasurable metastatic breast cancer are treated with a combination of biweekly docetaxel and bevacizumab as the first line treatment in multicenter phase II trial. The outcome measures would be PFS, Response rate (RECIST), duration of response, safety (NCI CTC-AE version 3) and survival. In addition several biochemical makers are tested as possible predictive factors. Treatment would be continued until PD, patient's refusal or treatment discontinuation due to side-effects or patients death. In responding patients bevacizumab would be continued either alone or in hormone receptor positive patients combined with hormone treatment until progression.

Exclusion Criteria:

• radiation therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease within 28 days

• evidence of CNS metastases. If symptomatic, the patient should be scanned within 28 days to enrolment to rule out CNS metastases

• Current or recent(within 10 daÿs of first dose of bevacizumab) use of aspirin (>325mg/day)

• current or recent (within 10 days of first dose of bevacizumab) use of oral or parenteral anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents.

• history of evidence of inherited bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy with the risk of bleeding

• uncontrolled hypertension (systolic >150mmHg and/or diastolic>100mmHg)

• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease for example CVA, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure NYHA Class > or equal II, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication during the study, which might interfere with regularity of the study treatment, or not controlled by medication

• treatment with any other investigational agent, or participation in another clinical drug trial within 28 days prior to enrolment

• evidence of any other disease, neurological, psychiatric or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or puts the patient at high risk for treatment-related complications

• history of thrombotic disorders within last six months
