Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The gemcitabine-paclitaxel and gemcitabine-platinum combinations have shown promise in the treatments of MBC; however, the optimal dosing schedules for these combinations have not yet been determined. The primary objective of this study is to compare the response rates of the gemcitabine-paclitaxel, gemcitabine-carboplatin, and gemcitabine-cisplatin combinations when administered on a biweekly schedule in metastatic breast cancer.

* Adequate organ function

Exclusion Criteria:

measure: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
timeFrame: baseline to measured progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 4 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, death, or up to 24 months after randomization)
measure: Duration of Response
timeFrame: time of response to progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 4 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, death, or up to 24 months after randomization)
