Methods Method of randomisation unclear
Participants 11 participants (median age 50 years; sex nm) with metastatic breast cancer treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Prior anthracycline therapy nm; prior cardiac radiotherapy possible for 4 participants (number of participants in each treatment group nm); no prior cardiac dysfunction
Interventions Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin with a peak dose of either 50 mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 (infusion duration nm; number of participants in each treatment group nm; cumulative anthracycline dose nm)
Outcomes Response rate: 1/4 evaluable participants in the 50 mg/m2 group achieved a partial response (definition nm) as did 2/4 evaluable participants in the 60 mg/m2 group.
PFS (definition nm): median time to progression was 104 days in the 50 mg/m2 group and 168 days in the 60 mg/m2 group.
Toxicity: not presented for each treatment group separately; unclear if cardiotoxicity has been evaluated.
Notes Not all randomised participants were evaluated. Median length of follow‐up was 9.2 months.
