Brief Summary

Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody currently used for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It works by preventing the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). The drug has been shown to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity. Previous research showed positive findings in other solid tumors that had metastasized. In this study, the investigators are investigating the response of adding bevacizumab to conventional chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer patients.

Study Arms (1)

metastatic breast cancer

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with histological or cytological proven metastatic breast cancer were recruited. The previous hormonal therapy for metastatic breast cancer or cytotoxic therapy was allowed. The Her2/Neu over-expressive status should be negative. Patients with brain metastasis are excluded.

Drug: Bevacizumab, docetaxel, cisplatin

Interventions

Bevacizumab, docetaxel, cisplatinDRUG

Bevacizumab 8 mg/kg(over 60 minutes) on first day of first cycle, followed by 5 mg/kg on first day of the rest cycles, repeat every 2 weeks. docetaxel 45 mg/m2(over 60 minutes) on day 1 of each cycle, repeat every 2 weeks. cisplatin 50 mg/m2(over 4 hours) on day 1 of each cycle, repeat every 2 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-2.
  • Normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
  • Age ≤ 65 years.
  • At least one unidimensionally measurable lesion by imaging studies.
  • AST/ALT 2.5 ULN (\< 5 ULN if liver metastases).
  • Serum bilirubin 3 ULN, Serum Creatinine 1.5 ULN.
  • Urine dipstick of proteinuria \<2+.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.

You may not qualify if:

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 160 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure \> 90 mm Hg).
  • Prior exposure to bevacizumab.
  • Planned radiotherapy for underlying disease (prior completed radiotherapy treatment allowed), except bone metastasis.
  • Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
  • Clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease for example cerebrovascular accidents (≤ 6 months), myocardial infarction (≤ 6 months), unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication. Stroke in the preceding six months.
  • Evidence of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates use of bevacizumab with chemotherapy.
  • Ongoing treatment with aspirin (\> 325 mg/day) or other medications known to predispose to gastrointestinal ulceration.
  • Pregnancy (positive serum pregnancy test) and lactation. Any other serious or uncontrolled illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to enter the trial.
