a) Disease specific inclusion criteria: 1. HER2-positive breast cancer as defined by IHC 3+ and /or ISH positive, prospectively confirmed by a Sponsor designated central laboratory prior to enrollment. Archival tumor samples obtained from primary or metastatic sites are acceptable. 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast with locally recurrent or metastatic disease, and be a candidate for chemotherapy. Patients with locally advanced disease must have recurrent or progressive disease, which must not be amenable to resection with curative intent.Patients with standard curative options available to them will be excluded from the trial. 3. Patients may have measurable and/or non-measurable disease which must be evaluable per RECIST 1.1. b) General inclusion criteria: 4. Signed written informed consent approved by the institution’s Independent Ethical Committee (IEC). 5. Age = 18 years. 6. ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1. 7. Adequate organ function as determined by the following laboratory results, within approximately 14 days prior to randomization: • Absolute neutrophil count > 1500 cells/mm3 • Platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3 • Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL; patients may receive red blood cell transfusions to obtain this level • Total bilirubin = 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless the patient has documented Gilbert’s syndrome • SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase = 2.5 x ULN, except for patients with bone metastases: alkaline phosphatase = 5 x ULN • Serum creatinine = 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) • International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) < 1.5 x ULN (unless on therapeutic anti-coagulation) 8. For women of childbearing potential and men with partners of childbearing potential, agreement to use one highly effective form of non-hormonal contraception or two effective forms of non-hormonal contraception by the patient and/or partner and to continue its use for the duration of study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Male patients whose partners are pregnant must use condoms for the duration of the study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Specific country and/or local requirements for contraception will be followed. 9. A negative pregnancy test must be available for premenopausal women and for women less than 12 months after the onset of menopause.

2. Hormone therapy < 7 days prior to randomization.
3. Trastuzumab (neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting) < 21 days prior to randomization.
4. Prior T-DM1 or pertuzumab therapy.
5. Treatment with any anti-cancer investigational drug within
28 days prior to commencing study treatment.
6. History of other malignancy within the last 5 years except for
appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, nonmelanoma
skin carcinoma, Stage I uterine cancer, or other malignancies with an expected curative outcome.
7. Brain metastases that are either untreated, progressive or require any type of therapy (e.g., radiation, surgery, or steroids) to control symptoms from brain metastases within
60 days prior to the first study treatment dose.
8. Radiotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced disease or for metastatic sites of disease performed within 14 days prior to study enrollment, and/or radiation of > 30% of marrowbearing bone.
9. Symptomatic hypercalcemia requiring use of bisphosphonate therapy within 21 days prior to the first study treatment. Patients who receive bisphosphonate therapy specifically to
prevent skeletal events and who do not have a history of clinically significant hypercalcemia are eligible.
10. Current peripheral neuropathy Grade = 2 per NCI-CTCAE version 4.0.
