Summary
This study is testing whether a generic version of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel albumin-bound works the same as the brand-name version in people with breast cancer. The trial involves 24 participants who will receive both versions at different times to compare how the drug behaves in their bodies. The goal is to see if the generic can be a safe and effective alternative, potentially making treatment more affordable.
