Phase II Trial of Abraxane Administered on a Weekly Schedule in Combination With Bevacizumab in Metastatic Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the activity of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation
(ABI-007; Abraxane^®) and bevacizumab, in terms of progression-free survival and
response rate, in women with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary

- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the feasibility of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, pilot study.

Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation (ABI-007;
Abraxane^®) IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on
days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and
then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
