Brief Summary

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

In the second-line treatment setting for MBC, many agents, including antitubulin drugs (Taxanes, Vinorelbine) and antimetabolites (Capecitabine, Gemcitabine), have demonstrated activity, but no agent is clearly superior. Although some combinations of cytotoxic agents provide a small progression-free survival advantage, none has demonstrated an OS advantage, and toxicity is generally greater than for single agents. At present, there is no standard for this treatment setting. New treatments that could delay disease progression without systemic toxicity would represent a significant advancement.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is incurable, and the majority of patients succumb to their disease within 2 years of diagnosis.

Patients with MBC usually receive treatment with endocrine or cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, and treatment decisions are generally guided by the hormone receptor and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative status of the disease, the number and location of metastases, and prior treatment history in both adjuvant and metastatic settings. In first- and second-line treatment settings of Metastatic Breast Cancer, numerous cytotoxic chemotherapy agents have demonstrated activity, including anti-tubulin drugs (Taxanes, Vinorelbine), Anthracyclines, and anti-metabolites (Capecitabine, Gemcitabine). However, no single agent has demonstrated a clear survival advantage over another, and use of sequential single-agent therapies is the most frequent approach. The choice of chemotherapy agent(s) is often determined by a number of factors, including history of prior therapy, treatment-free interval, and patient preference. Thus, no single standard treatment exists for patients with advanced disease. Patients who progress during or after their first treatment for Metastatic Brest Cancer typically have a short progression-free interval of 4-6 months and survive for 8-12 months. New treatment modalities are needed to improve clinical outcome and maintain the quality of life for these patients.

Study Groups

Experimental1

Bevacizumab and eribulin

In this study all patients will receive:

* Eribulin 1.23 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 every 3 weeks intravenously
* Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks intravenously or Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks intravenously

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bevacizumab and eribulin

Intervention Type DRUG

In this study, Bevacizumab and Eribulin are considered to be the "investigational study drugs". Bevacizumab is provided as 25 mg/ml concentrate for infusion. Vials contain 100 mg of Bevacizumab in 4 ml and/or 400 mg in 16 ml. Eribulin is provided as vials containing 1 mg/2 mL Eribulin as a 500 µg/mL solution in ethanol/water

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures or treatment, as confirmation of the patient's awareness and willingness to comply with the study requirements.
* Female patients ≥18 years of age.
* Histologically confirmed Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative adenocarcinoma of the breast with documented progression of disease per investigator assessment following or during first-line treatment with Bevacizumab in combination with Paclitaxel for MBC; patients can have measurable or non-measurable disease. A minimum of 4 cycles of Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg or 6 cycles 10 mg/kg received in the first-line setting.
* Patients must have received Bevacizumab in combination with Paclitaxel as first line treatment. As part of their first line maintenance treatment, patients may have received:
* Bevacizumab monotherapy
* Bevacizumab in combination with endocrine treatment
* Nothing (for a period ≤ 6 weeks from the last Bevacizumab treatment)
* ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-2.
* At least 28 days since prior radiation therapy or surgery and recovery from treatment.
* Patients must have measurable disease which must be evaluable per RECIST v1.1.
* Estimated life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria

Disease-specific exclusions

* Patients who have received anti-angiogenic therapy \[e.g. tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGFs)\] other than Bevacizumab for the first-line treatment of MBC.
* Patients who have exclusively received endocrine treatment in combination with Bevacizumab until the first progression.
* Positive or unknown Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2/neu status or for whom determination of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 status is not possible. In general, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 positive status will be identified by a FISH assay as evaluated at the institution, or, if FISH is unavailable, a 2+ or 3+ immunohistochemistry result (but method of identification may vary by region or institution).
* Current, recent (within 4 weeks or 2 half-lives, whichever is greater, before day 1) or planned participation in an experimental drug study - other than a Bevacizumab breast cancer study.
* Active malignancy, other than superficial basal cell and superficial squamous (skin) cell, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast within the last 5 years.
* Any laboratory values at baseline as described in the protocol;
* Psychiatric or addictive disorders or other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent the patient from meeting the study requirements.
* Serious active infection requiring i.v. antibiotics and/or hospitalization at study entry.
* Patients who are treated with any medicinal product that contraindicates the use of any of the study drugs, may interfere with the planned treatment, affects patient compliance or puts the patient at high risk for treatment-related complications.
