Brief summary
The general aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib (BIBW 2992) alone and in combination with weekly paclitaxel or weekly vinorelbine (in patients who progress on afatinib monotherapy within this trial) as treatment in patients with HER2-overexpressing, metastatic breast cancer, who failed HER2-targeted treatment in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting
Interventions
Patients to additionally receive vinorelbine at a dose of 25 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy
Patient to receive afatinib monotherapy at a dose of 40 mg/d until progression of their disease
Patients to additionally receive paclitaxel at a dose of 80 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy

Pre-assignment details
All subjects were screened for eligibility. It was not planned to compare efficacy of the combination therapies Afatinib and Paclitaxel or Afatinib and Vinorelbine as the study was stopped prematurely and the patient number in both treatment groups is not significant. However, for safety reporting both combination therapy are reported separately
