Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

To evaluate and compare the time to progression of the combination of capecitabine (825 mg/m2 twice daily) and docetaxel (75mg/m2 i.v.) to that of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 twice daily) until progressive disease followed sequentially by docetaxel (75 mg/m2 i.v. D1 Q3W).
