Abstract
Taxane-based regimens are among the preferred first-line chemotherapy options for metastatic breast cancer, with weekly paclitaxel considered equivalent to 3-weekly docetaxel. The CALGB 40502/NCCTG N063H (Alliance) trial has now compared bevacizumab plus weekly paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or ixabepilone in this setting; ixabepilone was inferior and nab-paclitaxel was not superior, with a trend towards inferiority. Paclitaxel thus remains the standard-of-care taxane chemotherapy.
