Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized, open-label, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and s afety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with chemotherapy versus chemother apy alone as second- and third-line therapy in patients with locally recurrent o r metastatic breast cancer progressing after first-line therapy with Avastin and chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either Avastin (15 mg/kg e very 3 weeks or 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks intravenously) plus standard chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Anticipated time on study treatment is until third-line disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Second-Line Progression-Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1) [Baseline (less than or equal to [≤] 28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter according to the standard of care of the treatment site until approximately 3 years]

    Second-line PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause during their second-line of treatment with bevacizumab and/or chemotherapy, whichever occurred first. For target lesions (TLs), PD was defined at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the largest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For non-target lesions (NTLs), PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants without second-line PD or death were censored at the date of last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented.

    The EQ-5D is composed of 5 single-item measures where participants responded to questions assessing health status by responding with either "no problems", "some problems", or "extreme problems" in the following categories: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Based on large population surveys, an algorithm was used to combine the responses to each of these 5 measures into 1 single EQ-5D index score ranging from -0.59 (extreme problems) to +1 (no problems) where a negative value indicated a worsening of perceived quality of life and a positive value indicated an improvement of perceived quality of life.

The participant marked the line corresponding to their assessment and the distance from the bottom was measured in millimeters. A higher value indicated a better health state.

  19. Change From Baseline in VAS Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013) [Baseline, during second-line treatment at Weeks 8 and 16 (4-week cycles) or Weeks 9 and 18 (3-week cycles) and at second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)]

    The participant was asked to rate their overall health on a 0-100 mm vertical scale, where the lowest endpoint = 0 (labeled as worst imaginable health state) and the highest endpoint =100 (labeled as the best imaginable health state). The participant marked the line corresponding to their assessment and the distance from the bottom was measured in millimeters. A negative value indicated a worsening of perceived quality of life and a positive value indicated an improvement of perceived quality of life.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Second-Line Progression-Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1)
Description Second-line PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause during their second-line of treatment with bevacizumab and/or chemotherapy, whichever occurred first. For target lesions (TLs), PD was defined at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the largest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For non-target lesions (NTLs), PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants without second-line PD or death were censored at the date of last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented.
Time Frame Baseline (less than or equal to [≤] 28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter according to the standard of care of the treatment site until approximately 3 years

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With a Second-Line Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST v1.1 (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Description BOR was defined as a confirmed CR or PR during second-line treatment. For TLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs, and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline SLD. For NTLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. The 95% Cl was determined using the Pearson-Clopper method.
Time Frame Baseline (≤28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter according to the standard of care of the treatment site until approximately 3 years

Description For TLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs; PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline SLD; SD was defined as neither sufficient decrease in SLD to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase in SLD to qualify for PD; and PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD of TLs, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since the treatment started. For NTLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels; stable disease was defined as the persistence of 1 or more NTLs and/or maintenance of tumor marker levels above normal limits; and PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing NTLs.

Title Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Description The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) is composed of 5 multi-item sections where participants responded to questions assessing symptoms (scale: 0-4; 0="not at all" and 4="very much"), as follows: physical well-being (PWB) (7 items, total score 0-28), social/family well-being (SWB) (7 items, total score 0-28), emotional well-being (EWB) (6 items, total score 0-24), functional well-being (FWB) (7 items, total score 0-28); and breast cancer score based on the additional concerns section of FACT-B (10 items, total score 0-40). The FACT-B Trial Outcomes Index (TOI) score=sum of PWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-96). The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, and FWB subscales scores (total score 0-108). The FACT-B total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscales scores (total score 0-148). In all cases a higher value indicated a better perceived quality of life.
Time Frame Baseline (≤28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter until second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)

Description The FACT-B is composed of 5 multi-item sections where participants responded to questions assessing symptoms (scale: 0-4; 0="not at all" and 4="very much"), as follows: PWB (7 items, total score 0-28), SWB (7 items, total score 0-28), EWB (6 items, total score 0-24), FWB (7 items, total score 0-28); and breast cancer score based on the additional concerns section of FACT-B (10 items, total score 0-40). The FACT-B TOI score=sum of PWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-96). The FACT-G total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, and FWB subscales scores (total score 0-108). The FACT-B total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-148). In all cases a higher value indicated a better perceived quality of life.
Time Frame Baseline (≤28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter until second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)

25. Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants Estimated to be Alive and Free of Second-Line Disease Progression at Month 12
Description Second-line PFS was defined as the time from randomization to PD or death due to any cause during their second-line of treatment with bevacizumab and/or chemotherapy, whichever occurred first. For TLs, PD was defined at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For NTLs, PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants without secondline PD or death were censored at the date of last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented.
