摘要: In this multinational, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial, Translational Research Oncology (TRIO) will define the efficacy and safety of adding a novel antiangiogenic agent, IMC-1121B (ramucirumab), to standard first-line docetaxel chemotherapy for women with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. We evaluate whether addition prolongs progression-free survival its use improves overall survival. Accrual is under way.
