Breast Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the anti-tumor activity (via objective response rate) of alvespimycin in patients with breast cancer who have not previously received trastuzumab (except as adjuvant therapy).
Interventions
Solution, IV, Alvespimycin 80 mg/m2, Weekly one hour infusion Days 1, 8, and 15, every 4 weeks thereafter until disease progression or DLT

Exclusion criteria
* Received prior lapatinib, an investigational ErbB-2 and/or an investigational EGFR dual tyrosine kinase inhibitors * Administration of any other chemotherapy, biological, immunotherapy or investigational agent within 14 days prior to receipt of study medication * Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
