Patient Preference for Everolimus in Combination With Exemestane or Capecitabine in Combination With Bevacizumab

Summary

This is a clinical trial with a crossover design to determine patients' preference for capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab or everolimus in combination with exemestane for advanced breast cancer patients and to evaluate, if any combination is associated with a better quality of life. To identify patients' preference for either therapy in this trial, patients without disease progression or other reasons for early discontinuation will be asked for their treatment preference and their treatment satisfaction. To correlate patients' preference with other patient reported outcomes (PROs), quality of life (QoL) will be assessed at baseline and throughout the study, using dedicated questionnaires. With similarly active treatment options, it is of utmost importance to identify the treatment that has the least negative impact on the patients' quality of life.
