This is a multicenter, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial. The main purposes of this study are to examine the efficacy and safety of standard chemotherapy plus moxifloxacin or placebo as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. This study is designed to recruit up to 228 subjects.
