Bevacizumab, Doxorubicin, and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Paclitaxel Albumin-Stabilized Nanoparticle Formulation and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients Who Have Undergone Surgery for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving bevacizumab together with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and bevacizumab works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage breast cancer.
