Feasibility Study of Metronomic Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer (TAME-01)

May 20, 2014 updated by: Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo

Phase II Feasibility Study of Weekly Paclitaxel Followed by Weekly Doxorubicin Plus Daily Oral Cyclophosphamide for Locally Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether weekly paclitaxel followed by weekly doxorubicin plus daily oral cyclophosphamide without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is feasible in the treatment of locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer.
