Epirubicin and Docetaxel in the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer
A Phase II Trial of Epirubicin/Docetaxel in the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

The epirubicin/docetaxel combination is one of the most active and best tolerated taxane/anthracycline combinations. In this phase II trial, we will further evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the docetaxel/epirubicin combination, when administered as first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer.

Upon determination of eligibility, all patients will receive:

Docetaxel + Epirubicin

Both drugs will be repeated at 21-day intervals
