A Phase III Study of Novel Epothilone (Ixabepilone) Plus Capecitabine Versus Capecitabine Alone in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer Previously Treated With an Anthracycline and a Taxane
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ixabepilone + Capecitabine and Capecitabine for Cancer and Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 1,221 participants across 186 sites in 29 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-247550 added to the approved therapy of capecitabine (Xeloda) provides measurable clinical benefits over capecitabine alone in women with metastatic breast cancer. Patients should have previously received an anthracycline and a taxane. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
