Epothilone (Ixabepilone) Plus Capecitabine Versus Capecitabine Alone in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Bristol-Myers Squibb
Information provided by:	Bristol-Myers Squibb
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00082433

Purpose

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.
