Purpose
This phase II trial is studying how well giving trastuzumab together with ixabepilone and carboplatin works in treating patients with HER2/neu-positive metastatic breast cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining trastuzumab with ixabepilone and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

- Objective Response for HER2+ Patients (Best Objective Response a Patient Has Ever Experienced on Study) [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 cycles during induction therapy and every 6 cycles during maintenance therapy until disease progression or up to 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To assess objective response, it is necessary to estimate the overall tumor burden at baseline to which subsequent measurements will be compared. The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to characterize each lesion at baseline and during follow-up.
The best overall response based on RECIST is the best response recorded from registration until disease progression/recurrence, taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since registration. The best response was determined based on the tumor responses in target and nontarget lesions, with or without new lesions. To be assigned a status of complete or partial response, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met. To be assigned a status of stable disease, measurements must have met the stable disease criteria at least once after study entry at a minimum interval of 8 weeks.
- Objective Response for All Treated Patients (the Best Response a Patient Has Ever Experienced on Study) [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 cycles during induction therapy and every 6 cycles during maintenance therapy until disease progression or up to 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

- Time to Disease Progression for HER2+ Patients [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 cycles during induction therapy and every 6 cycles during maintenance therapy until disease progression or up to 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This interval will be measured from the date of entry on the study to the appearance of new metastatic lesions or objective tumor progression based on RECIST. Patients progression-free at last follow-up were censored.
- Time to Disease Progression for All Treated Patients [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 cycles during induction therapy and every 6 cycles during maintenance therapy until disease progression or up to 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This interval will be measured from the date of entry on the study to the appearance of new metastatic lesions or objective tumor progression based on RECIST. Patients progression-free at last follow-up were censored.
- Time to Treatment Failure for HER2+ Patients [ Time Frame: Assessed every cycle until treatment discontinuation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Time from study entry to the date at which a patient was removed from treatment due to progression, toxicity, refusal or death. If a patient was considered to be a major treatment violation or was taken off study as a non-protocol failure, the patient would be censored on the date he/she was removed from treatment.

- Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Overall Survival at 3 Years for HER2+ Patients [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Survival estimate from the Kaplan-Meier curve of the proportion of patients alive at 3 years.

Experimental: Ixabepilone/Carboplatin/Trastuzumab
During the induction phase, patients were treated with Ixabepilone 15mg/m2 intravenously (IV) followed by carboplatin (IV) on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle for a max of 6 cycles. Trastuzumab was administered weekly (4mg/kg loading dose then 2mg/kg IV) starting on day 1. Routine premedication included H1 blocker (diphenhydramine 50 mg orally (PO) or IV), H2 blocker (ranitidine 150 mg PO or 50 mg IV or another equivalent H2 blocker), and at least a 5-HT3 antagonist and dexamethasone. After completion of 24 weekly trastuzumab doses (induction therapy), trastuzumab was given at a dose of 6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (maintenance therapy) beginning one week after the 24th weekly dose. Trastuzumab was repeated every 21 days until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. |
Biological: trastuzumab
Induction therapy: Trastuzumab was given as an IV infusion over 90 minutes on day 1 using a 4 mg/kg loading dose. Subsequent doses were given IV at a dose of 2 mg/kg over 30 minutes for 23 consecutive weekly doses. Maintenance therapy: After completion of 24 weekly trastuzumab doses (Induction Therapy), trastuzumab was given at a dose of 6 mg/kg IV over 90 minutes every 3 weeks (Maintenance Therapy) beginning one week after the 24th weekly dose. Repeat trastuzumab every 21 days until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. Other Name: Herceptin
Drug: carboplatin
Induction therapy: Carboplatin was given by IV over 1 hour at an area under the curve (AUC) dose of 2 on day 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. It was administered after completion of the Ixabepilone (BMS-247550) infusion. Routine premedication included at least a 5-HT3 antagonist and dexamethasone. Other Names:
Drug: ixabepilone
