Reporting Groups
  Description
Arm A (Paclitaxel) Patients receive 90 mg/m^2 paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients may receive 10 mg/kg bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues until progression.
Arm B (Nab-paclitaxel) Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients may also receive 10 mg/kg bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues until progression.
Arm C (Ixabepilone) Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients may also receive 10 mg/kg bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues until progression. (closed to accrual as of 7/18/11)
