Measure
Bevacizumab/Anastrozole
Bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks \[patients who are also receiving trastuzumab have the option to receive their bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks instead of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (see Trastuzumab section below)\] and anastrozole (1 mg orally daily). Treatment will be given in 4-week cycles.
Bevacizumab/Fulvestrant
Bevacizumab/fulvestrant (with trastuzumab in HER2+ patients). Bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks \[patients who are also receiving trastuzumab have the option to receive their bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks instead of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (see Trastuzumab section below)\] fulvestrant (500 mg intramuscular on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by 250 mg intramuscular of fulvestrant on Day 15 of Cycle 1. On Day 1 of Cycle 2 and the first day of all subsequent cycles thereafter, patients in this treatment arm will receive 250 mg intramuscular of fulvestrant). Treatment will be given in 4-week cycles.

Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease
21 months
Interval 14.0 to
Upper limit not reached due to patients remaining on treatment at time of analysis.
9 months
Interval 5.0 to 13.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

The Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment (CR+PR). The response categories were assigned using RECIST criteria. Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions ; Partial Response (PR) = \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.
