About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Avastin in Combination With Neoadjuvant Treatment Regimens on the Molecular and Metabolic Characteristics and Changes in the Primary Tumors With Reference to the Obtained Responses in Patients With Large Primary HER2 Negative Breast Cancers
This study will evaluate the effect of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy, as preoperative treatment, in participants with HER2 negative breast cancer. Participants will be randomized to receive either chemotherapy (FEC100: Epirubicine 100 milligrams per square meter [mg/m^2], 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m^2, and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m^2] for 12 weeks followed by taxane (paclitaxel/docetaxel) for 12 weeks or endocrine therapy (an aromatase inhibitor] daily for 24 weeks) with or without bevacizumab (15 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg] as intravenous [IV] infusion every 3 weeks up 24 weeks).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Aromatase Inhibitor, Bevacizumab and Epirubicine in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 3 sites in Norway.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants With Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Markers of Pathological Complete Response, as Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (time frame: Baseline up to end of study treatment (approximately 24 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00773695, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jan 2023.
