CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abraxis BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABBI), an integrated, global biopharmaceutical company, today announced the presentation of updated results from an ongoing open-label, randomized head-to-head Phase II clinical trial comparing ABRAXANE® for Injectable Suspension (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension) (albumin bound) and Taxotere® (docetaxel) in the first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The updated analysis demonstrated that ABRAXANE administered weekly (150 mg/m2) and every three weeks (300 mg/m2) resulted in longer progression-free survival and an overall improved toxicity profile compared to Taxotere administered every three weeks (100 mg/m2). ABRAXANE administered weekly (100 mg/m2) resulted in comparable progression-free survival and significantly less toxicity compared to the Taxotere arm. The findings were presented today at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology held June 1-5, in Chicago.
