1. Female patients (= 18 years);
2. Histologically confirmed HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients (IHC 3+ and/or ISH positive) according to ASCO guidelines for HER2 testing49;
3. Patients should have previously received trastuzumab and a taxane, separately or in combination. Patients should have either received prior therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease, or developed disease recurrence during or within six months of completing adjuvant therapy;
4. At least one measurable brain metastasis as defined by RECIST 1.1 (= 10 mm);
5. Any hormone receptor status;
6. Predicted life expectancy > 3 months;
7. Any previous anti-HER2 therapies are allowed, other than T-DM1;
8. ECOG performance score 0-2;
9. No significant cardiac history and a current LVEF = 50%. LVEF should be determined within 21 days before enrolment;
10. Adequate organ function, evidenced by the following laboratory results. These are to be performed at a maximum of 7 days before enrolment:
Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500 cells/mm3 without growth factor support (14 days after last peg-filgrastim, 7 days for regular filgrastim),
Platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3 without transfusion 2 weeks prior assessment,
Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL without transfusion 2 weeks prior assessment, Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN),
Total bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN unless the patient has documented Gilbert’s syndrome, in which case direct (conjugated) bilirubin level needs to be within normal limits,
Serum alkaline phosphatase = 2.5 x ULN. Patients with bone metastases: alkaline phosphatase = 5 x ULN,
Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL or < 177 µmol/L,
International normalized ratio and activated partial thromboplastin time or partial thromboplastin time < 1.5 ULN unless patient receiving anticoagulant therapy;
11. For women of childbearing potential a serum pregnancy test will be done up to 7 days before enrolment (and it must be negative) and an agreement to use one highly-effective form of non-hormonal contraception (true abstinence, vasectomy,oophorectomy, /hysterectomy, IUD) or two effective forms of non-hormonal contraception (e.g., condoms plus spermicidal agent) at study entry (to be put in place within 2 weeks prior to enrolment), during the administration of T-DM1 and for 7 months after the last administration of T-DM1 will be obtained;
12. Signed informed consent obtained before any study-specific procedure;
13. Able and willing to comply with the protocol; including the willingness to provide samples (primary if available and blood) for translational research.
Cohort 1 Specific Criteria:
14. No corticosteroids at enrolment for metastasis related symptoms (low dose (max 4mg dexamethasone or equivalent per day due to other comorbidities is acceptable)
15. Oligosymptomatic (defined as not requiring immediate intervention for symptom control) or asymptomatic brain metastases not requiring immediate local therapy.
Cohort 2 Specific Criteria:
16. Radiologically confirmed brain progression after previous local therapy (neurosurgery, radiosurgery to the brain, stereotactic radiotherapy to the brain, or whole brain radiotherapy) with at least 3 months between end of local therapy and brain progression.
17. Decreasing corticosteroid dose or stable dose for at least one week prior to enrolment

1. Single brain metastasis with indication of surgical resection;
2. Pregnant or breast-feeding women;
3. Documented leptomeningeal disease;
4. Having received any investigational therapy within = 28 days or 5 half-lives prior to enrolment, whichever is longer;
5. Having received hormonal therapy within 14 days prior to enrolment;
6. Having received trastuzumab within 21 days prior to enrolment;
7. History of treatment with trastuzumab emtansine;
8. Prior enrolment in a T-DM1containing study, regardless of whether the patient received T-DM1 or not;
9. History of intolerance (including Grade 3 or 4 infusion reaction) or hypersensitivity to trastuzumab or murine proteins or any component of the investigational medicinal product;
10. Current peripheral neuropathy of Grade = 3 according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v.4.0.3;
11. History of other malignancy within the last 5 years, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, Stage I uterine cancer, or other cancers with a similar outcome as those mentioned above;
12. Current unstable ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment;
13. History of symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Classes II-IV);History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to first study drug administration;
15. Current dyspnoea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or currently requiring continuous oxygen therapy;
16. Current severe, uncontrolled disease other than cancer (e.g., clinically significant pulmonary, hypertension or metabolic disease, among others);
17. Concurrent, serious, uncontrolled infections or current known infection with HIV, active hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C;
18. Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days before enrolment or anticipation of the need for major surgery during the course of study treatment;
19. Known contraindications for undergoing MRI or CT, including receiving contrast media.
