Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This single arm study will determine the efficacy and safety of an epothilone D and Herceptin combination regimen in patients with HER-2 positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Epothilone D will be administered intravenously on days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks at a dose not exceeding 100mg/m2. Herceptin will be administered intravenously on a weekly schedule; a 4mg/kg loading dose will be followed by a weekly maintenance dose of 2mg/kg. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
