Brief Summary   This study is non-randomized, open label and parallel arm study comparing the safety and efficacy of metronomic chemotherapy over chemotherapy in patients suffering from cachexia associated with triple negative breast cancer in India. Patients will be recruited based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and also dependent upon financial feasibility. Informed consent of the participants will be taken through ICF. Blood/ tissue samples of the patients suffering from TNBC will be collected. The primary outcome will measure parameters related to cachexia such as body mass and composition parameters, performance tests, inflammatory markers, markers of carbohydrate metabolism, markers of lipid metabolism, skeletal muscle wasting parameters. The secondary outcomes will be tumor progression, adverse events, quality of life and nutritional assessment questionnaire. Apart from this, allelic imbalance in small cohort samples will also be performed.
