Phase II Trial of EVEROLIMUS ± Trastuzumab in Hormone-Refractory Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well everolimus with or without trastuzumab works in treating patients with breast cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy and has spread from where it started to other places in the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving everolimus and adding trastuzumab at the time of disease progression may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
