Brief Summary

National, randomized, unblinded, phase IIb trial with 2 strata: First-line chemotherapy / Second-line chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Patients will be stratified at randomization according to first-line chemotherapy / Second-line chemotherapy for metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer

Treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity Visits are planned every 3 weeks during treatment and every 3 months after end of treatment or patient's withdrawal
