Pilot Study of the Safety & Efficacy of Two Docetaxel-Based Regimens Plus Bevacizumab for the Adjuvant Treatment of Subjects With Node Positive or High Risk Node Negative Breast Cancer
A Phase II, Open-Label, Multicenter, Pilot Study of the Safety & Efficacy of Two Docetaxel-Based Regimens Plus Bevacizumab for the Adjuvant Treatment of Subjects With Node Positive or High Risk Node Negative Breast Cancer
This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter, pilot study of the safety and efficacy of two Docetaxel-based regimens plus bevacizumab for the adjuvant treatment of participants with node positive or high risk node negative breast cancer.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiac safety, and the secondary objectives were to evaluate safety and toxicity of participants treated with bevacizumab ± trastuzumab administered with 2 different docetaxel-based combination regimens.
This study was originally designed to also evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS); however, based on a protocol amendment, follow-up was shortened from 10 years to 2 years, and the efficacy endpoints of disease free survival and overall survival were deleted from the protocol.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Stratum 1: TAC + Bevacizumab
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative participants stratified at registration, were administered chemotherapy with docetaxel, doxorubicin and cyclosphosphamide (TAC) + bevacizumab for Cycles 1-6 (every 3 weeks), and followed with maintenance therapy with bevacizumab every 3 weeks for a total of 52 weeks. All participants were administered prophylactic recombinant Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) during chemotherapy, based on a dose recommended by the manufacturer. For participants with estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumors, anti-estrogen therapy was recommended. Participants could receive radiation therapy at the discretion of the treating medical and radiation oncologist. |
75 mg/m^2 administered IV on Day 1 for Cycles 1-6 All participants received a prophylactic steroid regimen prior to each dose of docetaxel - Dexamethasone 8 mg orally 12 hours prior to docetaxel, dexamethasone 10 mg IV just prior the docetaxel infusion and 8 mg orally 12 hours after docetaxel administration. If a participant had not taken their oral dexamethasone the evening prior to receiving docetaxel, the dose of the pre-docetaxel infusion of dexamethasone was increased from 10 mg IV to 15 mg IV. A Dexamethasone 8 mg equivalent may have been used (dexamethasone 8 mg = methylprednisolone 40 mg = prednisone 50 mg = prednisolone 50 mg).

Experimental: Stratum 2: TCH + Bevacizumab

All participants were administered prophylactic recombinant Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) during chemotherapy, based on a dose recommended by the manufacturer. For participants with estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumors, anti-estrogen therapy was recommended. Participants could receive radiation therapy at the discretion of the treating medical and radiation oncologist. |

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percent of Participants With Grade 3/4 Clinical Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Time Frame: up to 2 years
|
The percentage of participants with Grade 3/4 clinical CHF was calculated.
Grade 3/4 CHF symptoms included cardiac failure congestive, cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF).
Echocardiography (ECG) or multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) scans were scheduled after Cycles 3 and 6 of chemotherapy, after every 3rd cycle of trastuzumab alone, at end of therapy and every 6 months at follow-up to measure changes in LVEF.
Clinical symptoms e.g., shortness of breath, tachycardia, cough, neck vein distention, cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly were further investigated for CHF.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Disease-free Survival (DFS) & Overall Survival (OS) of Participants
Time Frame: up to 10 years
|
DFS is the time from study registration until recurrence of tumor or death from any cause in the absence of previous documentation of tumor recurrence. For participants who are removed from the study follow-up prior to documentation of the tumor recurrence, DFS will be censored at the last date the participant was known to be disease-free. OS is the time from date of registration to date of death. In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time will be censored at the last date the participant is known to be alive. |
up to 10 years
