Conditions

Locally Advanced Non-resectable Breast Cancer, Metastatic Breast Cancer

Brief summary

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of tesetaxel administered once every 3 weeks in a 21-day cycle, tesetaxel administered once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks in a 28-day cycle, and capecitabine administered twice daily for 14 consecutive days in a 21-day cycle.

Interventions

Tesetaxel 27 mg/m2 orally once on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle

DRUGCapecitabine

Capecitabine 1250 mg/m2 orally twice daily (in the morning and evening after a meal; equivalent to a total daily dose of 2500 mg/m2) on Day 1 through Day 14 of each 21-day cycle
