PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel or docetaxel in treating women with stage IIIB or metastatic breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the response rate in women with metastatic or locally advanced inoperable adenocarcinoma of the breast treated with docetaxel vs paclitaxel
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients
Compare the time to disease progression duration of response quality of life and survival of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized open-label multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1 Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
