Phase I/II trial of continuous infusion vinorelbine for advanced breast cancer.

Abstract

This trial, while confirming VRL activity in ABC, shows the feasability of a CIV administration schedule. A decrease of the administrated total dose per 3- to 4-week cycle to less than the weekly schedule with the same therapeutic activity suggests a better therapeutic index. The data are also suggestive of a dose-response relationship and a dose-intensity/activity correlation.
