Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well VEGF Trap works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer. VEGF Trap may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the antitumor activity of VEGF Trap, in terms of tumor response rate, in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have received =\< 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for m...
