Phase II Study of Bevacizumab in Combination with Trastuzumab and Capecitabine as First-Line Treatment for HER-2-positive Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Abstract We report the first results from a phase II, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine as first-line therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive locally recurrent (LR) or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients were aged ≥18 years with confirmed breast adenocarcinoma, measurable LR/MBC and documented HER-2-positive disease. Patients received bevacizumab (15 mg/kg on day 1) plus trastuzumab (8 mg/kg on day 1 of cycle 1, 6 mg/kg on day 1 of each subsequent cycle) plus capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1–14) every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxici…
Exploratory outcome analyses according to stage and residual disease in the ICON7 trial of front-line carboplatin/paclitaxel (CP) ± bevacizumab (BEV) for ovarian cancer (OC).
5548 Background: In ICON7, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly improved in patients (pts) receiving BEV with front-line CP and continued as a single agent [Perren 2011] but no overall...
