Brief Title: A Biomarker Study in Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Bevacizumab and Paclitaxel
Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Phase II Study to Identify Predictive Biomarkers and Mechanisms of Therapy Resistance in Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With the Combination of Bevacizumab and Paclitaxel (BEVPAC).
Study ID: NCT01722968
Brief Summary: To explore molecular biomarkers and/or gene expression signatures that predict response to bevacizumab given in combination with paclitaxel as first line therapy in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
Detailed Description: This is a prospective, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, single-center, phase II trial. A total of 30 patients will be included during a period of 2 years. The study will be initiated with a non-randomized, feasibility stage including ten patients who will be treated with bevacizumab and paclitaxel, in order to determine the safety of metastatic tumor biopsies during therapy with bevacizumab. In the second phase, patients will be randomized (1:1) between two treatment arms: A. Bevacizumab + paclitaxel and B. Paclitaxel
