Forty-one patients were randomized from September 2008 to July 2009 to receive either; (1) bevacizumab 5 mg/kg day 1 and day 15, carboplatin area under the curve (AUC)-2 day 1, day 8, and day 15, and paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 day 1, day 8, and day 15 (arm-I); or (2) carboplatin AUC-5 day 1, docetaxel 75 mg/m2 day 1 (arm-II). The Kaplan–Meier method was used for estimating survival; log-rank test for comparing survival curves. The primary end point was PFS, and secondary end points were overall survival (OS) and safety.Results: PFS was 10 months in arm I versus 10.2 months in arm II (P = 0.9). The OS rate was similar in both arms: 37.6 months for arm I versus 37.4 months for arm II (P = 0.92). The toxicity revealed higher incidence of hypertension and proteinuria in arm I; however, with higher incidence of grade III–IV neutropenia and neutropenic fever in arm II. No treatment-related mortality was recorded.Conclusion: Bevacizumab/carboplatin/paclitaxel and carboplatin/docetaxel show comparable PFS and OS with different toxicity profiles.Keywords: taxanes, breast cancer, bevacizumab, Her-2 negativeAbdel Kader YSpielmann MEl-Nahas TSakr AMetwally HDove Medical PressarticleNeoplasms.
