Bevacizumab in combination with capecitabine is indicated for first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic breast cancer in whom treatment with other chemotherapy options including taxanes or anthracyclines is not considered appropriate. Patients who have received taxane and anthracycline- containing regimens in the adjuvant setting within the last 12 months should be excluded from treatment with Equidacent in combination with capecitabine. For further information as to HER2 status, please refer to section 5.1.
