Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The epirubicin/docetaxel combination is one of the most active and best tolerated taxane/anthracycline combinations. In this phase II trial, we will further evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the docetaxel/epirubicin combination, when administered as first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description
