A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer that spread to other tissues.

A phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab, and associated biomarkers, in combination with paclitaxel compared with paclitaxel plus placebo as first-line treatment of patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer - Meridian

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of bevacizumab + paclitaxel compared with placebo + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer as measured by: - PFS based on investigator tumor assessment in the intent-to treat (ITT) patient population - PFS based on investigator tumor assessment in ITT patients with high plasma VEGF-A levels;Secondary Objective: 1) To evaluate on the ITT population and the VEGF-A high subset the efficacy of bevacizumab + paclitaxel compared with placebo + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-negative MBC as measured by: - OS - Objective response rate for patients with measurable disease at baseline, as assessed by investigator -Duration of objective response for patients with measurable disease at baseline - One-year survival 2) In addition, an interaction of treatment effect with the VEGF-A level for PFS will be performed in the ITT population 3) To evaluate the safety of bevacizumab + paclitaxel compared with placebo + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-negative MBC, focusing on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE v4.0) all-grade treatment-emergent adverse events.;Primary end point(s): Coprimary endpoints: 1) PFS in the intention-to-treat population (all randomized patients) 2) PFS in the patients with high VEGF-A levels;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary analysis of PFS will occur when both (I) 326 PFS events in all patients and (II) 146 PFS events in the VEGF-A high subgroup have been observed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) Objective Response Rate 2) Duration of Objective Response 3) 1-year Survival Rate 4) Overall Survival 5) Treatment/VEGF-A Interaction Test for PFS;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) Objective response, 2)duration of response, first IA of OS, AEs will be analyzed at the same time with final PFS. 3) Primary 1-year survival rate will be analyzed when OS crosses the boundary or at the time of final OS event maturity. 4) Final OS will also be conducted when both (I) approximately 309 deaths in all patients and (II) approximately 170 deaths in the VEGF-A high subgroup have been observed. 5)At the timepoint of the primary (final) analysis of PFS
