Study Overview
Brief Summary
Low dose metronomic chemotherapy (LDMC) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is used as a palliative regiment with the aim to prolong and improve quality of life. The effect of LDMC is not fully elucidated. The aim is to evaluate the effect of LDMC with Capecitabine and Cyclophosphamide (CX) and to discover new potential predictive markers and potential markers for monitoring treatment effect.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall response rates
Time Frame: From baseline until three months after last dose.
