About the BO17708 study

BO17708 is an international phase III trial which randomized 736 patients who did not receive previous chemotherapy for their metastatic breast cancer to one of three groups;

-- Avastin 7.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks in combination with docetaxel

-- Avastin 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks in combination with docetaxel

-- docetaxel + placebo as control arm

The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate superiority in progression-free survival of both Avastin containing treatment arms compared to the control arm. Secondary endpoints for the study included overall survival, response rate, duration of response, quality of life, safety and tolerability.
