Final overall survival (OS) and safety analyses of RIBBON-2, a randomized phase III trial of bevacizumab (BEV) versus placebo (PL) combined with second-line chemotherapy (CT) for HER2-negative BEV-naive metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

100 Background: Combining BEV with CT significantly improved progression-free survival (primary endpoint) in the E2100, AVADO, and RIBBON-1 trials in the 1st-line setting and the RIBBON-2 trial in the 2nd-line setting. Primary efficacy and safety results from RIBBON-2 have been published; here we present final OS results. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) had MBC that had progressed on 1st-line CT without BEV. 2nd-line CT (taxane, gemcitabine, capecitabine, or vinorelbine) was chosen before 2:1 randomization to CT with either BEV (10 mg/kg q2w or 15 mg/kg q3w) or PL continued until progression. Stratification factors were 2nd-line CT, hormone receptor status, and time from MBC diagnosis to 1st progression. All pts could receive BEV at progression. The primary endpoint was PFS. Final analysis of OS, a secondary endpoint, in the intent-to-treat population was planned after 557 events and provided 80% power to detect a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.77 (median OS increased from 14.0 to 18.2 months) at α=0.04.
