XELODA plus docetaxel resulted in statistically significant improvements in efficacy compared with docetaxel monotherapy.*

XELODA plus docetaxel vs docetaxel alone: response to treatment
*Open-label, multicenter, randomized trial in 75 centers worldwide of 511 patients with mBC resistant to, or recurring during or after an anthracycline-containing therapy, or relapsing during or recurring within 2 years of completing an anthracycline-containing adjuvant therapy.
†The response rate reported represents a reconciliation of the investigator and IRC assessments performed by the sponsor according to a predetermined algorithm.
 
  • Median time to disease progression in patients receiving XELODA plus docetaxel vs docetaxel alone was 186 days (range, 165–198) and 128 days (range, 105–136), respectively (P <.0001).
  • XELODA delivered a 3-month improvement in median overall survival when combined with docetaxel, compared with docetaxel alone (P = .0126).
