Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer diagnosis
  • with metastatic disease. Patients without pathologic or cytologic
  • confirmation of metastatic disease should have unequivocal
  • evidence of metastasis.
  • 3\. Measurable disease, as per RECIST criteria (Therasse et al.
  • 2000). Measurable disease cannot be previously irradiated
  • unless progression was documented. Measurable disease is
  • defined as: at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in
  • at least one dimension \[longest diameter to be recorded\] as
  • \>20 mm with conventional techniques, or as \>10 mm with spiral
  • computed tomography (CT) scan. Disease must be measurable,
  • i.e., bone-only disease or evaluable-only disease is not eligible.
  • 4\. Patients with brain metastasis may participate if they:
  • • have undergone appropriate treatment,
  • are at least 1 month post-treatment,
  • have no neurologic symptoms,
  • are not on steroids,
  • have a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that
  • demonstrates no residual active lesions, and
  • have no new untreated lesions.
  • 5 The following prior therapies are allowed:
  • No prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. However,
  • patients must have received prior adjuvant or neo-adjuvant
  • chemotherapy.
  • Prior radiation therapy in either the metastatic or early-stage
  • setting, as long as \<25% of the bone marrow has been
  • treated. Radiation therapy must be completed at least
  • 14 days prior to study registration, and all radiation-related
  • toxicities must be resolved to ≤ grade 1 before the patient is
  • eligible for study inclusion.
  • Any number of hormonal therapies in the neo-adjuvant,
  • adjuvant, or metastatic setting is allowed. Patients must
  • discontinue hormonal therapy at least 1 week prior to starting
  • study treatment.
  • •Prior bevacizumab administered \>4 weeks before initiation of
  • study treatment is allowed.
  • 6 HER2-negative status. Documentation of HER2 results must be
  • available at the time of study enrollment. HER2-negative is
  • defined as:
  • Immunohistochemical (IHC) 0 or IHC 1+ OR
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) negative (defined by
  • FISH ratio \<2.2) OR
  • Silver in-situ hybridization (SISH) negative (defined by SISH
  • ratio \<2.2).
  • Patients with an IHC 2+ will need to be validated as HER2-negative
  • by FISH.
  • 7 An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance
  • status of \< or = to 2.
  • 8\. Normal bone marrow function as defined by:
  • absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1,500/μL;
  • platelets \>100,000/μL;
  • hemoglobin \>9 g/dL.
  • 9 Normal hepatic function as defined by:
  • total bilirubin within normal institutional limits;
  • aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine
  • aminotransferase (ALT) \<2.5 × the institutional upper limit of
  • normal (ULN) for patients without liver metastasis; \<5.0 × ULN
  • for patients with liver metastasis.
  • 10\. Normal renal function as defined by creatinine \<1.5 × ULN.
  • 11\. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) within institutional limits of
  • normal.
  • 12\. International normalized ratio (INR) \<1.5 or a prothrombin
  • time/partial thromboplastin time (PT/PTT) within normal limits.
  • Patients receiving anti-coagulation treatment with an agent such
  • as warfarin or heparin may be allowed to participate. The INR
  • should be measured prior to initiation of sorafenib, and for
  • patients on warfarin, INR should be monitored at least weekly
  • following initiation of protocol treatment, until the INR is stable and
  • therapeutic.
  • 13\. Life expectancy of \>6 months.
  • 14\. For women of childbearing potential, negative serum pregnancy
  • test within 7 days prior to starting treatment.
  • 15\. For women of childbearing potential and men, agreement to use a
  • method of contraception that is acceptable to their physician from
  • time of first signing the informed consent and for the study
  • duration. Men should use adequate birth control for at least three
  • months after the last administration of sorafenib. If a woman
  • becomes pregnant or suspects she is pregnant while participating
  • in this study, she must agree to inform her treating physician
  • immediately. As applicable, patients must agree to discontinue
  • breast-feeding until at least 3 weeks after their last dose of study
  • drug.
  • 16\. Recovery to \< grade 1 toxicity due to prior therapy.
  • 17\. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed
  • consent document.
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • More than one (\>1) prior chemotherapy regimen.

  • ixabepilone, or radiation treatments while on study as well as
