Brief Summary:
This trial combines trastuzumab and bevacizumab monoclonal antibodies, with ABI-007 and carboplatin, as neoadjuvant therapy in previously untreated locally advanced breast cancers demonstrating HER2 gene amplification. It is hoped that this novel combination will result in increased pathologic response rates that will translate into long term outcome improvements in HER2 positive patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
Detailed Description:
All eligible patients will receive induction chemotherapy prior to consideration of primary surgical intervention. If surgical intervention is deemed not to be in the best interest of the patient, patient will go off study at the time of evaluation for surgery. Upon completion of chemotherapy and surgery, all ER + and/or PR + patients will be placed on Tamoxifen 20 mg/qd or an aromatase inhibitor.
Induction preoperative therapy:
* Bevacizumab
* Trastuzumab
