Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of the iv paclitaxel maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose in association with a fixed dose of oral cyclophosphamide28 days = cycle 1

A DLT is defined below:

Hematological toxicity:

* Polunuclear neutrophils \< 500/mm3 for more than 7 days

* Febrile neutropenia (Polunuclear neutrophils \< 1 000/mm3 and fever \> or = 38.5°C) or documented infection

* Thrombopenia (Platelets \< 25 000/mm3)

* Impossibility to administer D8 or D15 due to hematological critera

Non-hematological toxicity:

Any grade 3 or 4 toxicity related to study treatment, with the exception of fatigue and alopecia

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of objective response after 2 cyclesAfter 2 cycles = 2 months

Objective response (complete response, partial response and stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

Description of the severity of adverse eventsDuring the study treatment, an expected average of 2 months

According to the NCI-CTCAE scale v4.0

Description of the nature of adverse eventsDuring the study treatment, an expected average of 2 months

According to the NCI-CTCAE scale v4.0

Estimation of the free-progression median timeUntil disease progression

Time between the inclusion and the disease progression (clinical or radiological)

Calculation of the Growth Modulation Index (GMI)Until disease progression
