Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Baseline up to Month 33

PFS defined as time from date of randomization to date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PFS calculated as (Months) = (first event date minus randomization date plus 1) divided by 30.4.

Frequently asked questions about Taxotere

What is Taxotere used for in breast cancer?

Taxotere is a small molecule oncology drug being studied for the treatment of breast neoplasms. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for this indication. Taxotere is being evaluated in combination with other therapies in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Who makes Taxotere?

Taxotere is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol PFE on the New York Stock Exchange. Pfizer is conducting clinical trials to evaluate Taxotere in combination with other agents for the treatment of breast cancer.

What phase is Taxotere in?

Taxotere is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for breast cancer. It has completed two clinical trials, including a Phase 3 study with 594 participants. Taxotere is an investigational drug and has not been reported as approved for this indication.

What clinical trials is Taxotere in?

Taxotere has been studied in two completed clinical trials for breast cancer. NCT00393939 was a Phase 3 study of sunitinib in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel alone in 594 patients with advanced breast cancer. NCT00291577 was a Phase 1 study of SU011248 with docetaxel in 22 patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Is Taxotere the same as docetaxel?

Taxotere is the brand name for docetaxel, a chemotherapy agent. In clinical trials, Taxotere is referred to as docetaxel, and it is being studied in combination with other drugs such as sunitinib for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
