Brief Summary
The goal of this trial is to determine whether oral continuous (metronomic) therapy with trofosfamide results in a similar rate of progression-free time after 6 months as intravenous treatment with adriamycin. In addition, the study is intended to investigate the level of toxicity associated with the two treatment regimens (safety profile).
