A Phase I Study Of Vinorelbine Oral Plus Capecitabine Combination In Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer


The combination capecitabine-vinorelbine, with iv administration of vinorelbine, has been
studied in a phase [I]/[II], with favourable profile of toxicity in pretreated patients with
anthracyclines and/or taxanes (Oncology News International vol 12, no 3, suppl 2, 2003).

In a study of toxicity and effectiveness, Vanhopher reported objective response rates (PR)
in 21 from 45 patients (47%) and stabilization of disease (SD) in 16 patients (36%). Severe
leucopenia (grade 4), was reported in 5% of patients (Borquez D, et al: Proc Am Soc Clin
Oncol 19: Abstract 420, 2000)
