breast cancer (mBC)&quot; will be available on the AACR website on March 31, 2017. Submitted by the CCTG, the abstract covers final
results from IND 213, an open-label, randomized, non-blinded Phase 2 study to assess the therapeutic combination of intravenously-administered
REOLYSIN<SUP>&nbsp;</SUP>given in combination with paclitaxel versus paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced or metastatic breast
cancer.</P>
