Trial Outcomes & Findings for ABI-007 (Nab-Paclitaxel) and Gemcitabine in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer (NCT NCT00110084)

NCT ID: NCT00110084

Last Updated: 2011-06-02

Results Overview

Confirmed tumor response (complete and partial) as measured by RECIST(Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) criteria on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 6 weeks apart. Confirmed tumor response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and no new lesions.
