Brief Summary

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

The combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine seems to be an important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in metastatic breast cancer patients following treatment failure with the combination of a taxane and an anthracycline. Capecitabine rescue monotherapy in metastatic breast cancer patients following treatment failure with the combination of a taxane and an anthracycline, also seems to be an important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in metastatic breast cancer patients. Whether the combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine or capecitabine administration is preferable is not yet known, especially in patients with metastatic disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial will compare the efficacy of combination treatment with Vinorelbine and Gemcitabine versus Capecitabine monotherapy in metastatic breast cancer patients following treatment failure with the combination of a taxane and an anthracycline.
