Scientific title | A randomised two-arm, prospective, multi-centre, open-label phase III trial comparing the activity and safety of a weekly versus a three-weekly paclitaxel treatment schedule in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer |
Study objectives | Primary objectives: 1. To compare the antitumour efficacy of weekly versus three-weekly paclitaxel as determined by the time to disease progression 2. To study polymorphisms in the genes responsible for paclitaxel metabolism and link these to response rates and toxicity Secondary objectives: 1. To compare the toxicity of weekly versus three-weekly paclitaxel 2. To compare the response rate of weekly versus three-weekly paclitaxel 3. To compare overall survival in patients receiving weekly versus three-weekly paclitaxel 4. To compare quality of life in patients receiving weekly versus three-weekly paclitaxel |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Breast cancer |
