SELECT BC
A Randomized study comparing taxanes with TS-1 in patients with metastatic or recurrent breast cancer
Study design
This is a multicenter, collaborative, open-label, randomized, parallel-group, controlled study.
Trial Schema

Objectives
- To verify that TS-1 is at least equivalent (non-inferior) to a taxane with respect to overall survival in patients with metastatic or recurrent breast cancer who receive either a taxane or TS-1 as first-line treatment, followed by second-line and subsequent therapy at the physician’s discretion. Progression-free survival and time to treatment failure will also be compared between the treatment groups.
- Adverse events, HRQOL, and medical economic evaluation will be compared between the treatment groups.
Primary endpoint: Overall survival (OS)
Secondary endpoints: Progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), adverse events, HRQOL, and medical economic evaluation
Scheduled number of patients and study period
Planned sample size: A total of 600 patients (300 per group).
Enrollment period: from October 2006 through July 2010.
Follow-up: 3 years (after enrollment of the last patient).
