Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy and bevacizumab (Avastin), before surgery and/or radiotherapy, in participants with inflammatory or locally advanced operable breast cancer. Participants will receive 5-fluorouracil, epidoxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC), followed by paclitaxel, given concomitantly with bevacizumab. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is \<100 individuals.
