Weekly Vinorelbine and Oral Capecitabine as Treatment for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of combination therapy consisting of daily oral capecitabine and weekly intravenous vinorelbine in stage IV breast cancer subjects. The study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy. Safety will be assessed by analyzing the types of toxicity, the severity of toxicity and the need for dose modification or delay due to toxicity. Effectiveness will be assessed by analyzing response rates, time to treatment failure, time to progression and overall survival. Our hypothesis is that the regimen will be more effective than standard historic regimens for this type and stage of cancer.
