You may qualify if…

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer, with metastatic disease.
• HER2-positive tumor
• Measurable disease defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as 20mm or greater with conventional techniques or as 10mm or greater with spiral CT scan
• 18 years of age or older
• Life expectancy of more than 12 weeks
• ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
• Normal organ and marrow function as outlined in the protocol
• Left ventricular ejection fraction 50% or greater as determined by RVG or echocardiogram within 30 days prior to initiation of protocol therapy
• Patients with stable or previously treated CNS metastases are eligible for study participation, provided there is no history of clinically significant CNS bleeding
• Men and women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation
• COHORT A:
