  • Patients must fulfill the following criteria to be included in the study:
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer with at least one --- metastatic uni-dimensionally measurable lesion according to RECIST criteria (the following do not qualify as measurable lesions: bone, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusion, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis, abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques, and cystic lesions).
  • Prior treatment with an anthracycline and a taxane.
  • All previous treatment (including surgery and radiotherapy) must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to study entry and any acute toxicities must have resolved.
  • Age >= 18 years.

  • Previously received greater than three prior chemotherapy regimens in total (including neo-adjuvant and adjuvant regimens) for breast cancer.
  • Primary diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer, confirmed by histology or cytology.

Patients must not have clinical symptoms from brain metastases and must not be taking corticosteroids for the treatment of brain metastases. Patients must not have leptomeningeal metastases.
