Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Biopsy of tissue from recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (only skin, lymph node, breast tumor biopsies allowed) on day 0, administration of bevacizumab 10mg/kg on day 1 (intravenously infused over 90 min) and re-biopsy on day 14.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 253052 0
changes in the expression of certain genes induced by a single dose of bevacizumab. Changes in gene expression will be assessed with the use of superarray technology (commercially available through Bioscience Corporation). Genes of interest are the Notch pathway and angiogenesis pathway (sets of genes available commercially through Bioscience Corporation)
Timepoint [1] 253052 0
14 days
Secondary outcome [1] 257872 0
changes of plasma levels of certain angiogenic markers vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (sVEGFR), angiopoietins, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), Tie-1/2, angiostatin, circulating endothelial cells (CEC)
Timepoint [1] 257872 0
14 days
