Purpose

This is a phase II study assessing the activity and safety of metronomic chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and capecitabine and vinorelbine in advanced breast cancer patient in four different cohort of patients: 1. Untreated (naïve) patients with endocrine responsive disease 2. Pretreated patients with endocrine responsive disease 3. Untreated (naïve) patients with triple negative disease 4. Pretreated patients with triple negative disease The primary endpoint will be the progression-free survival

Detailed Description

      This is an institutional, monocentric, open-label, phase II study of oral "metronomic"
      Vinorelbine plus Capecitabine and Cyclophosphamide (VEX) in patients with advanced breast
      cancer .

      Patients will receive the combination regimen as follow:

      Cyclophosphamide 50 mg daily Capecitabine 500 mg, thrice daily Vinorelbine 40 mg orally
      thrice a week

      Four independent cohorts of patients will be evaluated in the study:

        1. Untreated (naïve) patients with endocrine responsive disease

        2. Pretreated patients with endocrine responsive disease

        3. Untreated (naïve) patients with triple negative disease

        4. Pretreated patients with triple negative disease Combination will be administered until
           disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      The primary endpoint will be to assess the Time to progression (TTP) of VEX combination in
      the four different cohorts

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Pre- or post-menopausal women (age ≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically
             (cell block) proven, locally advanced (inoperable) or metastatic breast carcinoma.
             Immunohistochemical evaluation of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR),
             human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and epidermal growth factor receptor
             (EGFR) according to European Institute of Oncology guidelines is mandatory.

          2. Patients with HER2 overexpressed tumors, are eligible if they had received previous
             trastuzumab therapy for advanced disease, and/or a treatment with anti HER2 targeted
             therapy.

          3. Patients fulfilling one of the following criteria:

               -  Patients with measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria. This 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 CT scan

               -  Patients with bone lesions, lytic or mixed (lytic + sclerotic), in the absence of
                  measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Bone lesions must be
                  evaluable by plain CT or MRI. Patients with lesions identified only on
                  radionucleotide bone scan are not eligible.

          4. Patients may have received any primary and/or adjuvant therapies, as any previous
             lines of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy for advanced disease. Patients may have
             received metronomic capecitabine, methotrexate and cyclophosphamide in adjuvant
             setting at least 12 months before study entry

          5. Previous treatment with capecitabine, cyclophosphamide and vinorelbine not in
             metronomic schedule for advanced disease is allowed, provided that the patient has
             progressive disease at study entry and the patients should not be defined as
             "refractory" to treatments (Pathological Response or Complete Response or Stable

          6. Patients may have had previous hormonal therapy as treatment of metastatic disease
             provided that the patient has progressive disease at study entry. Hormonal therapy
