| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
| • Histologically or cytologically proven diagnosis breast cancer with evidence of 1) unresectable, locally recurrent, or 2) metastatic disease. • Patients with evaluable or misurable disease according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) • Patients may have received chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment provided that metastatic occurred at least 6 months after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy. • Patients may have had previous hormonal therapy as adjuvant treatment and/or treatment of metastatic disease provided that the patient has progressive disease at study entry. Hormonal therapy must be discontinued prior to study entry, excluding LH-RH analogue. • Patients may have received prior radiotherapy but not to the sites used to assess response. A minimum 4-week interval must have elapsed unless the area involved was < 20% of bone marrow volume in which case the patient may start treatment earlier. • Patients with HER-2/neu overexpressed tumors, are eligible if they had received previous trastuzumab therapy for advanced disease, and/or a treatment with anti HER2 targeted therapy. • Age > 18 and < 70 years old. • Expected survival of > 12 months. • Adequate cardiac function (Resting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >50% and no documented history of congestive heart failure (CHF), serious arrhythmia,or myocardial infarction (within 6 months); No severe uncontrolled hypertension; No history of venous or arterial thromboembolic events • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to screening: Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/mm3 Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μl Total bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal ALT and AST < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (< 5 x upper limit of normal for patients with liver involvement of their cancer) PT-INR/PTT < 1.5 x upper limit of normal Serum creatinine < 1.5 x upper limit of normal. no history of nephritic syndrome < one positive urine dipstick reading, and proteinuria less than 150 mg/d; |
