A phase III trial program exploring the integration of bevacizumab, everolimus (RAD001), and<br />lapatinib into current neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimes for primary breast cancer. Fragestellung
To compare the pCR rates of neoadjuvant treatment of epirubicin / cyclophosphamidefollowed by docetaxel (EC-T) with or without bevacizumab (EC-T vs. ECB-TB) in patients withHer-2 negative primary breast cancer (Setting I). To compare the pCR rates of neoadjuvant treatment with weekly paclitaxel with or withoutEverolimus (RAD001) (Pw vs. PwR) in patients with Her-2 negative primary breast cancershowing no sonographic response to 4 cycles of EC +/-B (Setting II). To compare the pCR rates of neoadjuvant treatment with epirubicin / cyclophosphamidefollowed by docetaxel with either trastuzumab or lapatinib (ECH-TH vs. ECL-TL) in patientswith Her-2 positive primary breast cancer (Setting III).

Unilateral or bilateral primary carcinoma of the breast, confirmed histologically by core biopsy. Einschlusskriterien
1. Written informed consent for all study procedures including an additional core biopsy afterthe first four cycles of EC +/-B must be obtained and documented according to local regulatoryrequirements prior to beginning specific protocol procedures. 2. Complete baseline documentation must be sent to GBG Forschungs GmbH. 3. Unilateral or bilateral primary carcinoma of the breast, confirmed histologically by corebiopsy. Fine-needle aspiration is not sufficient. Incisional biopsy is not allowed. In case ofbilateral cancer, the investigator has to decide prospectively which side will be evaluated forthe primary endpoint. 4. Tumor lesion in the breast with a palpable size of  2 cm or a sonographical size of 1 cm in maximum diameter. The lesion has to be measurable in two dimensions,preferably by sonography. In case of inflammatory disease, the extent of inflammation can beused as measurable lesion. 5. Patients should be in a stage of disease in which adjuvant chemotherapy would beconsidered. Therefore the following tumor stages are eligible * : - locally advanced tumors with cT3 or cT4 or - Estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptor negative tumors or - ER or PgR positive tumors which are cN+ (for cT2) or pNSLN+ (for cT1). * During the Run-In Phase only patients with cT4 or cT3 cN+ disease are eligible. In patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer, the largest lesion should be measured. 6. Known HER-2/neu status detected on core biopsy. HER-2/neu positive is defined asHercepTest IHC 3+ or central FISH+. 7. Age  18 years. 8. Karnofsky Performance status index  80%. 9. Normal cardiac function must be confirmed by ECG and cardiac ultrasound (LVEF orshortening fraction) within 3 months prior to randomization. Results must be above the normallimit of the institution and above 55%. 10. Laboratory requirements:a) Hematology- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)  2.0 x 109 / L and- Platelets  100 x 109 / L and- Hemoglobin  10 g/dL ( 6.2 mmol/L)b) Hepatic function- Total bilirubin < 1x UNL and- ASAT (SGOT) and ALAT (SGPT)  2.5x UNL and- Alkaline phosphatase  5x UNL. Patients with ASAT and / or ALAT > 1.5x UNL and associated with alkaline phosphatase >2.5x UNL are not eligible for the study. c) Renal functionCreatinine  175 µmol/L (2 mg/dL) < 1.5x UNL(or the calculated creatinine clearance should be  60 mL/min). d) ProteinuriaUrine dipstick for proteinuria < 2+. Patients discovered to have ≥ 2+ proteinuria ondipstick urinalysis should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤ 1g of protein in 24 hours. 11. Paraffin tumor tissue block and two serum samples centrally made available (except whenthe patient does not agree to central biomaterial collection). 12. Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 14 days prior to randomization for allwomen of childbearing potential. 13. Complete staging work-up within 3 months prior to randomization. All patients must havebilateral mammography, breast ultrasound ( 21 days), breast MRI (optional), chest X-ray (PA and lateral), abdominal ultrasound or CT scan or MRI, and bone scan done. In case ofpositive bone scan, bone X-ray is mandatory. Other tests may be performed as clinicallyindicated. 14. Patients must be available and compliant for treatment and follow-up. Patients registeredon this trial must be treated and followed up at the participating or at a cooperating center. Ausschlusskriterien
