Active Comparator: Intermittent Capecitabine
Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-14 of each 3-week cycle.
|
Drug: Docetaxel plus Capecitabine
Eligible patients will receive treatment with Capecibatine (1000 mg/ m2 twice daily D1-14 Q3W) plus docetaxel(75 mg/m2, D1,Q3W) for a maximum of 6 cycles, or be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient request for withdrawal, whichever occurs first. Each cycle is 3 weeks in duration. For the the patients with SD, PR or CR after initiate treatment phrase will enter into maintenance treatment phase. Drug: Intermittent Capecitabine Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-14 of each 3-week cycle
Other Name: Xeloda |
Experimental: Metronomic Capecitabine
Capecitabine 500 mg three times daily on days 1-21 of each 3-week cycle

Drug: Docetaxel plus Capecitabine
Eligible patients will receive treatment with Capecibatine (1000 mg/ m2 twice daily D1-14 Q3W) plus docetaxel(75 mg/m2, D1,Q3W) for a maximum of 6 cycles, or be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient request for withdrawal, whichever occurs first. Each cycle is 3 weeks in duration. For the the patients with SD, PR or CR after initiate treatment phrase will enter into maintenance treatment phase.

- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Time from randomization to progression or death (whichever occurred first).
- Adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]
Adverse events (AEs) and laboratory tests graded according to the NCI CTCAE (version 4.0), premature withdrawals and vital signs. Hand-foot syndrome and diarrhea will be specially interested.
Adverse events of special interest: hand-foot syndrome and diarrhea. The estimated HFS rate will be about 60% from intermittent Capecitabine vs about 10% from metronomic Capecitabine, diarrhea rate will be about 50% from intermittent Capecitabine vs about 10% from metronomic Capecitabine.
- Overall survival (OS): [ Time Frame: up to 52 months ]Time from randomization to death
- Overall Response rates (ORR) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Defined as CR+PR, assessed based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria. It will be evaluated in the initial treatment phase and the maintenance treatment phase.
- Clinical Benefit rate (CBR) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Defined as CR+PR+SD, assessed based on on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria. It will be evaluated in the initial treatment phase and the maintenance treatment phase
- Time to Progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Time from randomization to disease progression
- QoL [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Using the EORTC quality of life questionnaire QLQ-C30
