Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase II trial studies how well giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle (Nab-paclitaxel) formulation together with bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab and erlotinib hydrochloride work in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can prevent cancer growth by blocking the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial evaluates a maintenance treatment with erlotinib and bevacizumab after Nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab which may control cancer growth with biologic therapies.

- description
- INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV on days 1, 8, and 15 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients achieving complete response, partial response, or stable disease after completion of induction therapy will receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes once every 14 or 21 days and erlotinib hydrochloride PO QD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Progression-free Survival (PFS)
- timeFrame
- Time from date of registration to date of first documentation of progression or symptomatic deterioration or death due to any cause, assessed up to 8 years
- description
- Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Kaplan-Meier survival curves will be used. A 95% confidence interval for the median PFS will be calculated. A lower bound greater than 8 months would be strong evidence that Nab-Paclitaxel- bevacizumab induction therapy followed by bevacizumab-erlotinib hydrochloride maintenance therapy is superior to paclitaxel and bevacizumab. However, a median PFS of 13 months or greater (regardless of whether the 95% confidence interval for the median extends below 8 months) could also indicate promising results.
