The present study was performed to examine relationships between systemic exposure of capecitabine metabolites (5-FU, 5'-DFCR and 5'-DFUR) and toxicity or clinical response in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
BACKGROUND: We investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating endothelial cells (CECs) predict clinical outcome of first-line chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab in metastatic breast cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a French substudy of the MO19391 trial, CTC and CEC counts (CellSearch system) at baseline and...
This multicenter, randomized, open-label phase III trial (planned enrollment: 700 patients) was conducted to test the hypothesis that single-agent sunitinib improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared with capecitabine as treatment for advanced breast cancer (ABC). Patients with HER2-negative ABC that recurred after anthracycline and...
