Reporting Groups
  Description
Pemetrexed/Carboplatin Pemetrexed 600 mg/m^2 was administered intravenously over approximately 10 minutes on Day 1. Carboplatin was given over approximately 30 minutes on Day 1 beginning after the end of the Pemetrexed infusion, consistent with a target of AUC 5.0 mg*min/mL. The cycle of treatment was 21 days.
Gemcitabine/Vinorelbine

Vinorelbine 30 mg/m^2 was given over approximately 6-10 minutes on Day 1 and Day 8.

Gemcitabine 1200 mg/m^2 was given over approximately 30 minutes on Day 1 and Day 8 beginning after the end of the Vinorelbine infusion. The cycle of treatment was 21 days.

The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scales and criteria are used by doctors to assess disease progression, assess the patient’s living ability, and determine prognosis. The scale is as follows:

0-Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction. 1-Restricted in activity but ambulatory and able to perform sedentary work. 2-Ambulatory but unable to work. Up and about > 50% of waking hours. 3-Capable of only limited selfcare, confined to bed or chair > 50% of waking hours. 4-Completely disabled. Cannot self care. Totally confined to bed or chair. 5-Dead
[2] Hormone receptor status is a positive or negative measure of estrogen (ER) or progesterone (PR) hormone receptors found in cancer cells. In hormone receptor negative tumors, estrogen and/or progesterone are not present in cancer cells. In hormone receptor positive tumors, estrogen and/or progesterone hormone receptors are present in the cancer cells.
[3] The Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 plays an important role in cell growth and development. HER-2/Neu status is determined by an assay. A positive HER-2/Neu result indicates that HER-2 gene receptors are present; negative HER-2/Neu indicates the absence of HER-2 gene receptors.
[4]

Classification of tumors into one of four grades based upon how similar in appearance the tumor cells are to normal cells, and by how many tumor cells are dividing. The more tumor cells that are dividing, the greater likelihood of tumor growth and the higher the tumor grade. A lower tumor grade is associated with a better prognosis.

Grade 1 - Well-Differentiated, Low cell division Grade 2 - Moderately Differentiated, Moderate cell division Grade 3 - Poorly Differentiated, High cell division Grade 4 - Undifferentiated, High cell division
[5] This measure is the specific diagnosis of breast cancer based upon pathological diagnosis.

Certain Agreements:  
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The agreement is:
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
unchecked Other disclosure agreement that restricts the right of the PI to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.


Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
