Background: This study was designed to demonstrate that efficacy [progression-free survival (PFS)] of CAELYX(TM) [pegylated liposomal doxorubicin HCl (PLD)] is non-inferior to doxorubicin with significantly less cardiotoxicity in first-line treatment of women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).Patients and methods: Women (n = 509) with MBC and normal cardiac function were randomized to receive either PLD 50 mg/m(2) (every 4 weeks) or doxorubicin 60 mg/m(2) (every 3 weeks). Cardiac event rates were based on reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction as a function of cumulative anthracycline dose.Results: PLD and doxorubicin were comparable with respect to PFS [6.9 versus 7.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio (HR) = 1.00; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82-1.22]. Subgroup results were consistent. Overall risk of cardiotoxicity was significantly higher with doxorubicin than PLD (HR = 3.16; 95%CI 1.58-6.31; P
