Summary
The purpose of this study is to test a new anticancer drug, AMG 706, which targets the blood vessels of the tumour. Evidence suggests that the formation of new blood vessels within the tumour is critical in the progression of solid tumours, including breast cancer. Of the numerous factors that affect the growth of these blood vessels, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is likely one of the most, if not the most, important molecules regulating new blood vessel formation and subsequent invasion and metastasis. As a result, agents that inhibit VEGF (such as those drugs being used in this trial) may prevent this tumour vascular invasion and thereby block the growth of the tumour.

Interventions
Eligible patients will be randomised in a 3-arm design to receive one of the following: Arm B : Paclitaxel 90mg/m2 IV over 1 hour every week for 3 weeks (days 1, 8, 15, of each 28 day cycle) and blinded AMG 706 125mg orally every day. Arm C : Paclitaxel 90mg/m2 IV over 1 hour every week for 3 weeks (days 1, 8, 15, of each 28 day cycle) and open label bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV following paclitaxel treatment on week 1 and week 3 of each cycle. Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of patient consent.
