You may be eligible if
1. Female or male patients \>=18 years of age.
2. Histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer, locally unresectable or metastatic.
3. No prior chemotherapy for MBC. Patients may have received adjuvant or
neoadjuvant chemotherapy (including taxanes and/or bevacizumab) as long as
treated was completed \>12 months prior to relapse. Prior hormonal therapy in the
adjuvant or metastatic setting will be permitted.
4. Prior hormonal therapy in the adjuvant or metastatic setting is permitted. Estrogen receptor positive patients should be considered candidates for chemotherapy.
5. HER2-negative breast cancer, defined as follows:
* FISH-negative (FISH ratio \<2.2), or
* IHC 0-1+, or
* IHC 2-3+ AND FISH-negative (FISH ratio \<2.2).
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
7. Adequate hematologic function, defined by:
· Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1500/mm3
* Platelet count \>=100,000/mm3
* Hemoglobin \>9 g/dL
8. Adequate liver function, defined by:
· AST and ALT \<=2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) or \<=5 x ULN in
presence of liver metastases
* Total bilirubin \<=1.5 x ULN
9. Adequate renal function, defined by:
· Serum creatinine \<=1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance of
\>=40 ml/min
10. International normalized ratio (INR) \<=1.5 or prothrombin time (PT)/partial
11. Adequate lipid profile: total cholesterol \<=300 mg/dL OR \<=7.75 mmol/L and fasting triglyceride 2.5 x ULN. Note: In case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded,the patient can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication.
12. Patients with proteinuria at screening as demonstrated by either:
· Urine protein creatinine (UPC) ration \>1.0 at screening
or
* Urine dipstick for proteinuria \>=2+ (patients discovered to have
\>=2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour
urine collection and must demonstrate \<1 g of protein in 24 hours to be
eligible).
13. Measurable disease by RECIST criteria.
14. Life expectancy \>=12 weeks.
15. Ability to swallow oral medications.
16. Adequate cardiac function, defined by baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) value \>= normal per institutional guidelines by MUGA scan or
echocardiogram (ECHO).
17. Adequate recovery from recent surgery.
* Major surgical procedure \>28 days from study entry
* Minor surgical procedure \>7 days from study entry (Portacath placement
excepted - patients can start treatment \<7 days after portacath placement.)
19. Patient must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.
20. All patients must be able to understand the investigational nature of the study and give written informed consent prior to study entry.
\-
You may not be if
1. Patients with active brain metastases or meningeal metastases. Patients who have had brain metastases resected, or have received brain radiation therapy \>4 weeks prior to study entry are eligible, if they meet all of the following criteria: 1) residual symptoms \< grade 2, 2) no dexamethasone requirement, and 3) follow-up MRI shows regression of lesions after treatment and no new lesions appearing.
2. Previous treatment with an m-TOR inhibitor (sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus) or anti-angiogenesis agent unless:
* in the adjuvant setting, and
* \>=12 months prior to recurrence.
3. Previous radiotherapy for metastatic disease completed \<2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation.
4. Patients who are current receiving systemic cancer therapy or have received
previous systemic therapy within 4 weeks of the start of study drug (e.g.
chemotherapy, antibody therapy, targeted agents).
5. Women who are pregnant or lactating. All patients with reproductive potential must agree to use effective contraception from time of study entry until at least 3 months after the last administration of study drug.
6. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure \>150 mmHg or
diastolic pressure \>100 mmHg, despite optimal medical management.
7. Concurrent use of CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers from 72 hours prior to initiation of study treatment until the end of treatment with everolimus.
8. Cardiac disease, including: congestive heart failure (CHF) \> Class II per New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification; unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) or new-onset angina (i.e., began within the last 3 months), or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months; symptomatic CHF, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy.
9. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to first
bevacizumab dose.
10. Patients with any non-healing wound, ulcer, or long-bone fracture.
11. Patients with clinical history of hemoptysis or hematemesis.
12. Patients with any history of a bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
13. Patients with a PEG or G tube cannot be enrolled into this trial.
14. History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to beginning bevacizumab.
15. Patients with an impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of everolimus (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection).
16. Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other
conditions that could affect their participation such as:
* severe impaired lung functions as defined as spirometry and DLCO that is 50% of the normal predicted value and/or 02 saturation that is 88% or less at rest on room air
* uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \>1.5 x ULN.
17. History of any other disease, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates use of an investigational drug, or that might affect interpretation of the results of this study, or render the subject at high risk for treatment complications.
18. History of hypersensitivity to Cremophor EL (polyoxyethylated castor oil) or a drug formulated in Cremophor EL, such as paclitaxel.
19. Patients may not receive any other investigational or anti-cancer treatments while participating in this study.
