Brief summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Taxotere + Xeloda, versus Taxotere alone, following a regimen of Adriamycin plus Cytoxan in women with high-risk breast cancer. Following 4 cycles of Adriamycin and Cytoxan, patients will be randomized to receive either 1)Taxotere 75mg/m2 iv on day 1 and Xeloda 825mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 of each 3 week cycle or 2) Taxotere 100mg/m2 iv alone on day 1 of each 3 week cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

Patients were followed for an average of 5 years.Number of patients with/without recurrence of breast cancer, or death due to any cause.
Disease Free Survival [Time to Event]Time from the date of randomization until the date of first event, or date last known to be event free if no event was reported. Patients were followed for an average of 5 years.Disease free survival was measured as the time from the date of randomization until the date of first event (recurrence of breast cancer, or death due to any cause). Patients without event at the time of the analysis were censored using the date they were last known to be recurrent disease free.
