1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Second-Line Progression-Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1)
Hide Description Second-line PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause during their second-line of treatment with bevacizumab and/or chemotherapy, whichever occurred first. For target lesions (TLs), PD was defined at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the largest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For non-target lesions (NTLs), PD was defined as the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants without second-line PD or death were censored at the date of last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented.
Time Frame Baseline (less than or equal to [≤] 28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter according to the standard of care of the treatment site until approximately 3 years

For TLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs, and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline SLD. For NTLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. The 95% Cl was determined using the Pearson-Clopper method.

Title Change From Baseline in EQ-5D Index Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Hide Description The EQ-5D is composed of 5 single-item measures where participants responded to questions assessing health status by responding with either "no problems", "some problems", or "extreme problems" in the following categories: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Based on large population surveys, an algorithm was used to combine the responses to each of these 5 measures into 1 single EQ-5D index score ranging from -0.59 (extreme problems) to +1 (no problems) where a negative value indicated a worsening of perceived quality of life and a positive value indicated an improvement of perceived quality of life.
Time Frame Baseline, during second-line treatment at Weeks 8 and 16 (4-week cycles) or Weeks 9 and 18 (3-week cycles) and at second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)

Title Quality of Life Assessed Using the EQ-5D Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Hide Description The participant was asked to rate their overall health on a 0-100 millimeter (mm) vertical scale, where the lowest endpoint=0 (labeled as worst imaginable health state) and the highest endpoint =100 (labeled as the best imaginable health state). The participant marked the line corresponding to their assessment and the distance from the bottom was measured in millimeters. A higher value indicated a better health state.

Title Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Hide Description The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) is composed of 5 multi-item sections where participants responded to questions assessing symptoms (scale: 0-4; 0="not at all" and 4="very much"), as follows: physical well-being (PWB) (7 items, total score 0-28), social/family well-being (SWB) (7 items, total score 0-28), emotional well-being (EWB) (6 items, total score 0-24), functional well-being (FWB) (7 items, total score 0-28); and breast cancer score based on the additional concerns section of FACT-B (10 items, total score 0-40). The FACT-B Trial Outcomes Index (TOI) score=sum of PWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-96). The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, and FWB subscales scores (total score 0-108). The FACT-B total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscales scores (total score 0-148). In all cases a higher value indicated a better perceived quality of life.
Time Frame Baseline (≤28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter until second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)

27.Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in FACT-B Scores (Data Cutoff 20 December 2013)
Hide Description The FACT-B is composed of 5 multi-item sections where participants responded to questions assessing symptoms (scale: 0-4; 0="not at all" and 4="very much"), as follows: PWB (7 items, total score 0-28), SWB (7 items, total score 0-28), EWB (6 items, total score 0-24), FWB (7 items, total score 0-28); and breast cancer score based on the additional concerns section of FACT-B (10 items, total score 0-40). The FACT-B TOI score=sum of PWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-96). The FACT-G total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, and FWB subscales scores (total score 0-108). The FACT-B total score=sum of PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB, and breast cancer score subscale scores (total score 0-148). In all cases a higher value indicated a better perceived quality of life.
Time Frame Baseline (≤28 days after randomization), every 8-9 weeks thereafter until second-line PD (up to approximately 3 years)

ITT population. Here, Number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for this outcome measure and n=number of participants who completed the assessment at the specified timepoint.
Arm/Group Title CT Arm CT+BV Arm
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, until the maximum cumulative dose of anthracycline was reached, or end of study (24 months after randomization of the last participant). Upon second-line disease progression participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, or end of study. Upon subsequent disease progression participants received treatment according the standard of care of the treatment site until end of study.
Participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site plus bevacizumab, 15 mg/kg, IV, every 3 weeks, or 10 mg/kg, IV, every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, until the maximum cumulative dose of anthracycline was reached, or end of study (24 months after randomization of the last participant). Upon second-line disease progression participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site plus bevacizumab, 15 mg/kg, IV, every 3 weeks, or 10 mg/kg, IV, every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, or end of study. Upon subsequent disease progression participants received treatment according the standard of care of the treatment site until end of study.

Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, until the maximum cumulative dose of anthracycline was reached, or end of study (24 months after randomization of the last participant). Upon second-line disease progression participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, or end of study. Upon subsequent disease progression participants received treatment according the standard of care of the treatment site until end of study. Participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site plus bevacizumab, 15 mg/kg, IV, every 3 weeks, or 10 mg/kg, IV, every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, until the maximum cumulative dose of anthracycline was reached, or end of study (24 months after randomization of the last participant). Upon second-line disease progression participants received a single-agent chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator according to the standard of care at the investigator's site plus bevacizumab, 15 mg/kg, IV, every 3 weeks, or 10 mg/kg, IV, every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant request for withdrawal, or end of study.
