Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Tolerability and safety profile of bevacizumab when combined with weekly paclitaxel as first line treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer.;Secondary Objective: Efficacy of bevacizumab combined with weekly paclitaxel, as measured by TTP and OS. Efficacy will also be assessed according to patients' performance status on the Karnofsky scale.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the incidence of all serious and non-serious adverse events (irrespective of their relatedness) during the study.
