Diagnosis and main inclusion criteria Inclusion criteria Patients must give written informed consent personally signed and dated before completing any study-related procedure which means assessment or evaluation that would not form part of the normal medical care of the patient. Women with histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the breast. Documented locally recurrent or metastatic disease not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy. Patients with either o HER-2 negative disease assessed by IHC 0-1 or FISH/CISH negative, on the primary tumour or on metastatic site. o HER-2 status unknown, provided that a tumour sample is available for retrospective review, if relevant. Patients must have received a prior adjuvant anthracycline based chemotherapy with or without a taxane or, if contraindicated, a non-anthracycline based chemotherapy with or without a taxane, as long as there has been more than a 12 months disease free interval from completion of the adjuvant chemotherapy. Prior hormone therapy is allowed both in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting and in the metastatic setting provided that there is documented progression of the disease and the treatment must be terminated prior to randomisation. Prior radiation therapy is allowed to 25 of the bone marrow but must be completed at least 4 weeks before randomisation Appendix 15 . Patients with measurable or non-measurable lesion using the RECIST guidelines. Estimated life expectancy 12 weeks. Karnofsky performance score 70 Appendix 3 . Age 18 and 75 years old. Adequate haematological function as defined by absolute neutrophil count ANC 1.5 x 109/L, platelet count 100x109/L and haemoglobin 10 g/dL within 7 days before first study treatment . Adequate hepatic function as defined by total bilirubin 1.5 x upper limit of normal ULN , AST and ALT 2.5 x ULN or 5 x ULN in case of liver metastases, alkaline phosphatase 5 x ULN within 7 days before first study treatment . Adequate renal function as defined by creatinine level within normal values or, in case of creatinine level ULN, calculated creatinine clearance 60 mL/min according to Cockroft-Gault formula within 7 days before first treatment administration . Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; these conditions should be assessed before randomisation ECG without clinically relevant abnormality within 7 days before first treatment administration . Women of childbearing potential must be using a medically accepted method of contraception i.e. oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, condom to avoid pregnancy during the 2 months preceding the start of study treatment, throughout the study period and for up to 3 months after the last dose of study treatment. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to first treatment administration.
