Brief Summary
This study will define an optimal chemotherapy dose regimen of Myocet in combination with paclitaxel and intravenous Herceptin and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of this dose regimen in patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer and HER2 overexpression. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to World Health Organization (WHO) Handbook for Reporting Results of Cancer Treatment
For measurable disease, CR was defined as the disappearance of all clinically detectable disease determined by 2 observations not less than 4 weeks apart; and PR was defined as a 50 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the products of the 2 greatest diameters of all measurable lesions by 2 observations not less than 4 weeks apart, and no appearance of new lesions or progression of any lesion. For immeasurable disease, CR was defined as the complete disappearance of all known disease for at least 4 weeks; and PR was defined as an estimated decrease in tumor size of 50% or more for at least 4 weeks.
Baseline (BL), Weeks 7, 13, 19, every 8 weeks thereafter until end of study (for up to 3 years)
Secondary Outcomes (10)

Study Arms (2)
Trastuzumab, Myocet, Paclitaxel; Phase I
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received an initial loading dose of trastuzumab 4 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), intravenously (IV), over 1.5 hours during Week 1, followed by 2 mg/kg, IV, over 30 minutes once per week from Week 2 to Week 52 or until disease progression. Participants also received myocet, 40 mg/ square meter (m\^2), IV, every 3 weeks, from Week 1; if no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed in greater than or equal to (≥) two-thirds (2/3) of cohort for 2 treatment cycles, the dose was increased to 50 mg/m\^2, IV, and continued for 6 cycles. Participants also received paclitaxel 60 mg/ m\^2, IV, once per week, from Week 19; if no DLT was observed in ≥ 2/3 of cohort for 2 treatment cycles, the dose was increased to 70 mg/m\^2, IV, and subsequently 80 mg/m\^2, IV, and continued until disease progression.
Trastuzumab, Myocet, Paclitaxel; Phase II
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received an initial loading dose of trastuzumab 4 mg/kg, IV, over 1.5 hours during Week 1, followed by 2 mg/kg, IV, over 30 minutes once per week from Week 2 to Week 52 or until disease progression. Participants also received myocet, 50 mg/m\^2, IV, every 3 weeks, from Week 1 for 6 cycles. Participants also received paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2, IV, once per week, from Week 19 until disease progression.
Interventions
Initial loading does of 4 mg/kg IV, followed by 2 mg/kg IV weekly, until disease progression
60 mg/m\^2 IV weekly; dose increased to 70 mg/m\^2, and subsequently 80 mg/m\^2, after 2 treatment cycles with no evidence of DLT until disease progression
40 mg/m\^2 IV weekly; dose increased to 50 mg/m\^2 IV after 2 treatment cycles with no evidence of DLT for 6 cycles
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- women 18-70 years of age;
- metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer;
- HER2 overexpression;
- \>= 1 measurable lesion.
You may not qualify if:
- prior treatment for advanced breast cancer;
- prior treatment with Herceptin;
- bone or central nervous system metastasis as the only site of disease;
- history of another malignancy (except basal cell skin cancer and cancer in situ of the uterine cervix, and contralateral breast cancer) within 5 years of study.
