Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to compare efficacy in terms of Progression Free Survival (PFS) of Trastuzumab at the maintaining dose of 1 mg/kg/week or 3 mg/kg/q3w vs the standard dose of 2 mg/kg/week or 6 mg/kg/q3w in metastatic breast cancer patients with HER-2 overexpressing tumors and candidates for first line treatment with chemotherapy associated with Trastuzumab;Secondary Objective: to compare a) Overall Survival (OS) b) Overall Response Rate (ORR) c) Toxicity d) Cardiotoxicity (Appendix 2) e) Pharmacokinetic (Appendix 1) between the two study arms;Primary end point(s): Time to progression
