E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

To compare the combination of everolimus, vinorelbine and trastuzumab to vinorelbine and trastuzumab alone with respect to progression-free survival in women with HER2/neu overexpressing locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are resistant to trastuzumab and have been pre-treated with a taxane.

Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)

Patients will continue on treatment until progression, intolerable toxicity or withdrawal of patient consent. If any of the study drugs is permanently discontinued due to an adverse event, patients should continue on the other study drugs until progression. After progression on study treatment, next line therapy will be up to the investigator’s discretion (except for everolimus, as it remains an investigational product in this patient population).
