Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known whether garlic supplements affect the ability of docetaxel to kill tumor cells

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with garlic works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the clinical pharmacokinetic behavior of docetaxel with and without garlic tablets in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients

Secondary

Determine the incidence of enzyme and transporter polymorphism in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a pilot open-label study

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on days 1 8 and 15 Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity On days 5-17 of course 1 patients receive oral garlic twice daily Patients have the option of continuing garlic tablets as long as they remain on study

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 9-12 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 months
