Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of sequential use of vinorelbine and capecitabine as first line therapy in patients with MBC.

Detailed description

The administration of vinorelbine and capecitabine had been implied to be quite useful in metastatic breast cancer. This study was designed to explore whether sequential and simultaneous use of vinorelbine and capecitabine have similar efficacy and whether the sequential way has better tolerability.

However, subjects who have been disease-free for 5 years, or subjects with a history of completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible * Concurrent disease or condition that would make the subject inappropriate for study participation, or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the subject's safety * Active or uncontrolled infection * Known history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure * Concomitant with brain metastases * Have received chemotherapy after metastasis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PFS(progression-free survival,defined as the time period between randomization and disease progress or death) and TTF (time to treatment failure, defined as all discontinuations for any cause)Every two cycles (3 weeks per cycle) and during the follow up time, until disease progression event occurs.PFS was assessed every two cycles (3 weeks per cycle)and during the follow up time, by serum tumor markers, physical examination and image examination, until disease progression event occurs. If a patient has the sign or hint of disease progression, then the lab examination, physical examination or image examination could be taken at any time.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety, QOL(quality of life)Safety and QOL were assessed every cycle and during the follow up time, until 28 days after the last cycle.Safety and QOL were assessed every cycle(3 weeks per cycle) and during the follow up time, until 28 days after the last cycle.
TTP(time to progression) and OS (overall survival)TTP and OS were assessed every cycle and during the follow up time, until the event occurs.TTP and OS were assessed every cycle(3 weeks per cycle) and during the follow up time, until the event occurs.
