Extract

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of systematic "clinical cancer department/supportive care department" consultation meetings, versus standard care, on the prescription of an additional line of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer and visceral involvement after 3 or 4 lines of chemotherapy. This is a prospective paucicentric open label randomized controlled study with 2 parallel arms. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to either arm "Study group" or "Standard care". The number of patients required to demonstrate a 30% reduction of the number of prescriptions for an additional line chemotherapy, assuming an alpha risk of 5% and 80% power, is 100 (50 in each arm).
