International Guidelines for Management of Metastatic Breast Cancer: Combination vs Sequential Single-Agent Chemotherapy Fatima Cardoso , Philippe L. Bedard , Eric P. Winer , Olivia Pagani , Elzbieta Senkus-Konefka , Lesley J. Fallowfield , Stella Kyriakides , Alberto Costa , Tanja Cufer , Kathy S. Albain ; on behalf of the ESO-MBC Task Force J Natl Cancer Inst 2009;101:1174–1181 In the absence of evidence to guide daily clinical decision making in MBC, both combination and sequential single agent chemotherapy are reasonable options as first-line systemic therapy. An important question for future research is the clear definition of patients who may benefit from a combination approach. Until such data are available, the ESO-MBC Task Force believes that sequential single-agent therapy should be the preferred choice for most MBC patients, in the absence of rapid clinical progression, life-threatening visceral metastases, or the need for rapid symptom and/or disease control. These recommendations reflect consensus expert opinion and represent level 5 clinical evidence.

Progression-Free Survival, Pooled Population Non-BV (n=1008) BV (n=1439) Median, mo 6.7 9.2 HR (95% CI) 0.64 (0.57–0.71) The docetaxel+BV7.5 arm in AVADO was excluded from the pooled analysis. PFS data for patients who received non-protocol anti- cancer therapies prior to disease progression were censored. The primary analysis of PFS was based on IRF assessment for E2100 and on investigator assessment for AVADO and RIBBON-1. 14
