About this study

Official title: Maintenance Versus Observation With 6 Cycles of Gemcitabine Plus Taxol Sequential Gemcitabine Single Agent in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

The primary purpose of our study is to evaluate whether gemcitabine as a single agent is superior to observation in improving progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who achieved disease control with an initial six cycles of PG as their first-line treatment

Gemcitabine, ExperimentalGemcitabine 1250 mg/m2, IV on day 1 of 21 day cycle,with a follow up for every 12 weeks until disease progression or the date of first documented death from any cause
ObservationalObservation for every 12 weeks until disease progression or the date of first documented death from any cause

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PFS

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years

    Measured: From randomization to disease progression

  2. PFS(progression free survival)

    Measured: time from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression,assessed up to 3 years

  3. PFS(progression free survival)

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression at any site including distant metastasis or second primary tumors or death,assessed up to 3 years

    Measured: the time from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression,assessed up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. OS(overall survival)

    the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented death from any cause,assessed up to 3 years

    Measured: the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented death from any cause,assessed up to 3 years
