Drug combo tested to fight aggressive blood vessel cancer

NCT ID NCT01303497

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug bevacizumab to standard weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy helps control advanced angiosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of blood vessels. It involved 70 adults whose cancer had spread or could not be removed by surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel plus bevacizumab to compare how well the treatments stopped the cancer from growing.
