A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) + Xeloda (Capecitabine)as Maintenance Therapy in Patients With HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

Brief Summary
This randomized study will compare maintenance therapy with Avastin (bevacizumab) + Xeloda (capecitabine) versus Avastin alone, in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have not progressed during first-line therapy with docetaxel + Avastin. Eligible patients will receive up to 6 x 3 week cycles of treatment with Avastin (15 mg/mg IV on Day 1 of each cycle) + docetaxel (75-100 mg/m2 IV on Day 1 of each cycle). Those patients who do not progress will be randomized to 3 week cycles of either a) Avastin (15 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each cycle) + Xeloda (1000 mg/m2 po bid on Days 1-14 of each cycle) or b) Avastin alone. Study treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient request for withdrawal or end of study, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death (Maintenance Phase Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from first study drug dosing (during the maintenance treatment phase) to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Progression was based on tumor assessment made by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST). Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as a 20 percent (%) or greater increase in the sum of the Longest Diameter (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded or appearance of new lesions.
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
Progression Free Survival (Maintenance Phase Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
PFS was defined as the time from first study drug dosing to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.Time to progression was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression defined per RECIST 1.0 criteria. Participants without an event at data cut-off or who were withdrawn from the study without documented progression were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment when the participant was known to be progression free. Participants who took other non-protocol anti-cancer drugs while being on study medication, and who were still event free were censored on the date of first dose of the anti-cancer drug. Participants without post-randomization tumor assessments but alive were censored at the time of randomization. Participants without post-randomization assessments, who died after randomization were considered to have the PFS event at date of death. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used for median time to PFS
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Confirmed Objective Response of CR or PR Per RECIST 1.0 (Maintenance Phase Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit (CR, PR and SD) Per RECIST 1.0 (Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
Percentage of Participants Who Died (Maintenance Phase Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
Overall Survival (Maintenance Phase Data Cutoff October 4, 2013)
Randomization, at the end of every third cycle (every 9 weeks) until the end of maintenance phase and every 3 months until disease progression or death until data cutoff on October 4, 2013, up to 4 years
