Clinical Benefit
| Low |

Clinical Added Value
| no clinical added value |
Given the current data, the Transparency Committee considers that AVASTIN does not provide an improvement in actual benefit (IAB level V) in the management of patients with metastatic breast cancer who are HER2 negative or who are not eligible for treatment with Herceptin. |
