SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abraxis BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABII), an integrated, global biotechnology company, today presented preclinical data demonstrating the effect of ABRAXANE® for Injectable Suspension (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension) (albumin bound) in combination with Avastin® (bevacizumab) to eradicate large-sized (up to 600 mm3) orthotopic breast tumors and lymphatic and systematic metastasis at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting held April 12-16, 2008 in San Diego, California (Poster No. 4021, Volk: Eradication of large orthotopic breast tumors and metastasis by combined nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab therapy). The findings presented at AACR suggest a novel mechanism through which ABRAXANE can overcome a newly discovered phenomenon of reactionary angiogenesis.
