Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab administered in combination with paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated, locally recurrent, or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: bevacizumab or placebo. All patients will be given an intravenous (IV) infusion of of paclitaxel (90 mg/m2) for 3 weeks during each 28-day cycle. bevacizumab or placebo (10 mg/kg) will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death from any cause occurs.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Histologically or cytologically confirmed, HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the breast, with measurable or non-measurable locally recurrent or metastatic disease. Locally recurrent disease must not be amenable to resection with curative intent.

- •For patients who have received recent radiotherapy, recovery prior to randomization from any significant acute toxicity, and radiation treatments have to be completed more than 3 weeks from randomization
Exclusion Criteria
- •Disease-Specific Exclusions:
- •HER2-positive status
- •Prior chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic disease
- •Prior hormonal therapy \< 2 weeks prior to randomization
- •Prior adjuvant or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed, provided its conclusion has been for at least 12 months prior to randomization
- •Investigational therapy within 28 days of randomization
- •General Medical Exclusions:
- •Life expectancy of \< 12 weeks
- •Inadequate organ function
- •Uncontrolled serious medical or psychiatric illness

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Progression or Death in Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population
Time Frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks until documented disease progression, death or clinical cut-off (up to 117.7 weeks)
Tumor assessment was performed as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) by investigator. Disease progression was defined as at least 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm), unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) in ITT Population
Time Frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks until documented disease progression, death or clinical cut-off (up to 117.7 weeks)
PFS was defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the first documentation of progressive disease or death from any cause. Tumor assessment was performed as per RECIST v1.1 by investigator. Disease progression was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. PFS was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.
PFS in High Baseline Plasma VEGF-A ITT Population
Time Frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks until documented disease progression, death or clinical cut-off (up to 111.3 weeks)
PFS was defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the first documentation of progressive disease or death from any cause. Tumor assessment was performed as per RECIST v1.1 by investigator. Disease progression was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. PFS was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.
Percentage of Participants With Progression or Death in High Baseline Plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) ITT Population
Time Frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks until documented disease progression, death or clinical cut-off (up to 111.3 weeks)
Tumor assessment was performed as per RECIST v1.1 by investigator. Disease progression was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.
