A trial of bevacizumab and chemotherapy for children and teenagers with soft tissue sarcoma (BERNIE)

This trial looked at a drug called bevacizumab (also known as Avastin) and chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma. It was for children and young adults up to the age of 18 who:

• had soft tissue sarcoma that had spread to other parts of the body (metastatic)

• were going to have treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma for the first time

We use the term ‘you’ in this summary, but if you are a parent, we are referring to your child.
