Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN (in cases of liver involvement, ALT/AST = 5 x ULN and total bilirubin within normal ranges will be allowed) f. Serum creatinine = 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance = 60 mL/min calculated according to the Cockroft and Gault formula or MDRD formula for patients aged > 65 years (Appendix 19.2) g. Serum albumin > 3.0 g/dL Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range:

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Central nervous system metastases that are untreated or symptomatic, or require radiation, surgery, or continued steroid therapy to control symptoms within 14 days of study entry. 2. Known leptomeningeal involvement. 3. Advanced/metastatic, symptomatic, visceral spread, with a risk of life-threatening complications in the short term (including patients with massive uncontrolled effusions [pleural, pericardial, peritoneal], pulmonary lymphangitis, and over 50% liver involvement). 4. Participation in another interventional clinical trial or treatment with any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to study entry. 5. Any systemic anticancer therapy within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. For cytotoxic agents that have major delayed toxicity, e.g. mitomycin C and nitrosoureas, or anticancer immunotherapies, a washout period of 6 weeks is required. For patients in Cohort 2, this does not apply to the most recently received hormone therapy. 6. Major surgery or radiotherapy within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. Patients who received prior radiotherapy to = 25% of bone marrow are not eligible, irrespective of when it was received. 7.

History of hypersensitivity reaction or any toxicity attributed to trastuzumab, murine proteins or any of the excipients that warranted permanent cessation of these agents (applicable for Cohort 1 only). 9. Previous exposure to vinorelbine (applicable for Cohort 1 triplet combination only) 10. Exposure to the following cumulative anthracycline doses: a. Doxorubicin or liposomal doxorubicin > 360 mg/m² b. Epirubicin > 720 mg/m² c. Mitoxantrone > 120 mg/m² and idarubicin > 90 mg/m² d.
