Bioequivalence Study of Paclitaxel for Injection (Albumin Bound) in Subjects With Breast Cancer

This study was a multicenter, randomized, open, single-dose, two-cycle, two-cross-dosing human bioequivalence trial designed to evaluate the bioequivalence of tested and reference preparations in breast cancer subjects.

2. Subjects who have received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and endocrinotherapy within 4 weeks before the administration of the investigational drug and still respond to the treatment;
3. Subjects who have suffered from serious illness of cardio-cerebral vascular system, lung, liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, immune system, skin, musculoskeletal system and nervous system or psychiatric disorders within 3 months before screening and are considered unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator;

7. Subjects who have consumed special diet (foods that affect the activity of CYP3A4 or CYP2C8 enzyme, such as grapefruit, pomelo, mango, etc.), exercised vigorously or with other factors that may affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion within 48 hours before the administration of the investigational drug;
8. Subjects who have received therapy with the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) within 2 weeks before screening;
9. Subjects with grade 2 or higher sensory neuropathy/peripheral neuropathy at screening;
