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. This study has not been published in full text (29 December 2015); from the currently available data it is unclear if this study is eligible for inclusion in this review |
nm: not mentioned PFS: progression‐free survival
