A phase II trial of biweekly vinorelbine and oxaliplatin in second- or third-line metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) typically have a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of biweekly combination of vinorelbine and oxaliplatin (NVBOX) in second- or third-line setting for mTNBC. Eligible patients were female with 18-70 y old, and had mTNBC that had progressed after 1or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting. NVBOX was given biweekly every 4 week for a maximum of 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Forty-4 patients were recruited. All patients had been exposed to anthracyclines and/or taxanes; 56.8% of patients were cis/carbo-platin pretreated. Among the 38 evaluable patients, overall response rate was 31.6% and 7 lasted ≥ 6 months. The
