Tell us more?: There are many new drugs for breast cancer. So you have to qualify your question and indicate what yiou are intereste din or have you heard ? Two new drugs approved within the last several months are called: tdm1 or Kadcyla (most recent one) and pertuzumab(perjeta). But neither one is a pure chemotherapy agent. The last chemo drug approved was more than one year back and it is called eribulin.
