Eligibility Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * All patients must have pathological confirmation of carcinoma of the breast. * Patients must have metastatic breast cancer by documented clinical or radiological assessment. * Immunohistochemical analysis of HER-2/neu expression on paraffin-embedded specimens will be performed. HER-2/neu overexpression will be qualitatively scored as 0, 1+, 2+, or 3+, with 3+ indicating the strongest positivity. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) analyses will also be performed on these patients. Patients with 2+ to 3+ overexpression of HER-2/neu (membranous staining) are eligible, regardless of the results of the FISH analysis. * Age ≥18 years. * Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60%. * Adequate hepatic, renal, and hematologic function. * Prior treatment with trastuzumab will be allowed. * All patients must have adequate cardiac function (defined as left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 45%) documented by echocardiogram or MUGA scan. * Premenopausal women will be required to have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test and to use an effective form of contraception. * Patients with a history of brain metastases are permitted as long as it has been at least 30 days since definitive treatment, they are clinically stable and a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain demonstrates control of the lesion(s). * All patients must give written informed consent indicating they are aware of the investigational nature of this treatment, as well as the risks and benefits of this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * No treatment with chemotherapy or trastuzumab will be allowed within four weeks of study entry. * Prior therapy with vinorelbine. * Known history of hypersensitivity to trastuzumab, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell proteins, or any component of these products. * History of current unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months. * Pregnant women are excluded. * History of a known hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived proteins, filgrastim, or any component of the product.
