Brief Summary

Taxanes (such as paclitaxel) are highly active to treat breast cancer. Abraxane® (nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel) compared to standard paclitaxel improves efficacy and tolerability. When combined with a taxane, platinum agents improve response in metastatic breast cancer, with carboplatin conferring less toxicity than cisplatin. Monoclonal antibodies including bevacizumab target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to reduce angiogenesis. We hypothesize that the previously-untested combination of weekly Abraxane® and carboplatin plus biweekly bevacizumab will lengthen time to progression without producing intolerable toxicity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Best Clinical Response Expressed as Percentage of Participants Treated With Combination Regimen of Weekly Abraxane® and Carboplatin Plus Biweekly Bevacizumab to Treat Women With Stage IV or Inoperable Stage III "Triple Negative" Metastatic Breast Cancer.

    Best clinical response is based on RECIST criteria, the proportion in each response category along with the exact binomial confidence intervals are estimated. Toxicity summaries are also provided.

    5 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Median Proportion Progression-free as Estimated by Kaplan-Meier Methods

    5 years

  • To Evaluate Sequential Plasma Samples for Presence of Selected Angiogenic Markers

    18 months

  • to Determine if Apolipoprotein Alleles (Apo-E) Correlate With Treatment-related Neuropathy

    18 months

  • to Determine if SPARC Expression in Breast Tumors Predicts Progression-free Survival (PFS)
