RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with everolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Name: cisplatin
Name: everolimus
Name: paclitaxel
Name: laboratory biomarker analysis
Description: The recommended dose for the Phase II trial will be the most prevalent dose delivered per week in Phase I that allows for safe and feasible administration of the medications.The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the initial cycle of therapy. DLTs include Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] < 0.5 x 10 9/L for > 5 days), febrile neutropenia (ANC < 1.0 x 10 0/L with fever > 38.5 degrees Centigrade) or documented infection associated with Grade 3-4 neutropenia, CTC Grade 4 thrombocytopenia < 25 x 10 9/L or CTC Grade 3 < 50-25 x 10 9/L thrombocytopenia with bleeding, and Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity despite symptomatic therapy.
Measure: Maximum Feasible Dose in Milligrams Per Meter Squared of Body Surface Area (mg/m2) of Cisplatin and Paclitaxel for Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Time: at 8 weeksDescription: The recommended dose for the Phase II trial will be the most prevalent dose delivered per day in Phase I that allows for safe and feasible administration the medication. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the initial cycle of therapy. DLTs include Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] < 0.5 x 10 9/L for > 5 days), febrile neutropenia (ANC < 1.0 x 10 0/L with fever > 38.5 degrees Centigrade) or documented infection associated with Grade 3-4 neutropenia, CTC Grade 4 thrombocytopenia < 25 x 10 9/L or CTC Grade 3 < 50-25 x 10 9/L thrombocytopenia with bleeding, and Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity despite symptomatic therapy
Measure: Maximum Feasible Dose in mg of RAD001 (Everolimus)for Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Time: at 8 weeksDescription: Patients who had not experienced disease progression and who were alive at 6 months after study entry
Measure: Patients With Progression-free Survival Time: at 6 monthsDescription: Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria v. 1.0: measurable lesions: complete response (CR) disappearance of target lesions, partial response (PR) > 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) > 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or appearance of new lesions, stable disease (SD) neither sufficient decrease nor increase of the sum of smallest sum of the LD of target lesions
Measure: Patients With Overall Response Time: every 12 weeksDescription: Duration in months from date on-study to date patient exhibited progressive disease
Measure: Time to Progression Time: Up to 64 weeksDescription: Median duration in months from on-study to disease progression in patients with metastatic basal-like breast cancer. All patients with basal-like breast cancer are negative for estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor (HER2) receptors.
Measure: Time to Progression in Patients With Metastatic Basal-like Breast Cancer. Time: Up to 64 weeksAllocation: N/A
