January 7, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Multicenter, Single-arm, Observational Study Describing the Clinical Benefits of Bevacizumab (Avastin) Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer (AVAREG Study)

This multicenter, single-arm observational study will evaluate the clinical benefits of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with paclitaxel in first-line treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with metastatic breast cancer who have started Avastin treatment within 6 months prior to study start will also be eligible. Data will be collected from patients for up to 5 years.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Cohort

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: Approximately 5 years
Progression free survival (PFS) was assessed based on time to tumour progression or death (whichever occurred first) from the start of bevacizumab treatment.
Approximately 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
One Year Survival
Time Frame: Approximately 5 years
The status of participants whether alive, dead, unknown or missing one year after the start of bevacizumab treatment is reported.
Approximately 5 years
Time to Discontinuation (TTD) of Bevacizumab Treatment
Time Frame: Approximately 5 years
Time to treatment discontinuation is defined as the time to change of therapy due to any cause (tumour progression, toxicity, or other causes) from the start of bevacizumab treatment.
Approximately 5 years
Participants With Hormone Receptor Status at Diagnosis
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
The hormone receptor status for Oestrogen (ER), Progesterone (PgR) and Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) is reported as positive, negative, unknown or missing.
Baseline (Day 1)
Progression Free Survival in Participants With Triple Negative Receptor Status at Study Entry
Time Frame: Approximately 5 years
PFS was assessed based on time to tumour progression or death (whichever occurred first) from the start of bevacizumab treatment for participants with triple negative status and not triple negative status.
Approximately 5 years
Participants With Tumor Stage at Diagnosis
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
Number of participants at each Metastatic breast cancer stage 0, I, II, III or IV, at the point of diagnosis is reported.
Baseline (Day 1)
Participants With Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Status at Study Entry
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status for participants was categorized as 0, 1, 2, or missing. ECOG has 4 grades as: 0 = Fully active, able to carry out all pre-disease activities; 1 = Restricted in strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of light or sedentary nature; 2 = Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out work activities. Active about 50% of waking hours; 3 = Capable of limited self-care, confined to bed/chair more than 50% of waking hours; 4 = Completely disabled; cannot carry on self-care, totally confined to bed/chair.
Baseline (Day 1)
Participants With Prior Therapy at Study Entry (Baseline)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
The status of prior therapy (i.e. chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and radiotherapy) at study entry (baseline) is reported.
Baseline (Day 1)
Participants With Disease History at Study Entry (Baseline)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
Participant's history at the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease and sites of metastases is reported at study entry (baseline).
Baseline (Day 1)
Participants With Type of Metastases at Study Entry (Baseline)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1)
The type of metastases (bone and visceral) are reported at study entry (baseline) is reported.
Baseline (Day 1)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
