Purpose
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different schedules of everolimus to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

- Response rate by clinical evaluation every 4 weeks and radiologic reevaluation every 8 weeks [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Early progression rate by clinical evaluation every 4 weeks and radiologic reevaluation every 8 weeks [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Adverse event rates [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Time to progression by clinical evaluation every 4 weeks and radiologic reevaluation every 8 weeks [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Response duration by evaluation 4 weeks after response and then every 8 weeks [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Correlative assessment of response with molecular markers of mTor activity on archival tissue [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Optional correlative assessment of response with molecular markers of mTor activity on fresh tissue [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the efficacy of 2 different treatment schedules of everolimus, in terms of clinical/radiological response and early progression, in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
Secondary
- Determine the time to progression and response duration in patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.
- Correlate molecular markers of mTOR activity in tumor tissue with objective tumor response in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to presence of visceral metastases (yes vs no) and prior chemotherapy regimens for recurrent disease (0 vs 1). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral everolimus once daily on days 1-28.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral everolimus on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. In both arms, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks and then periodically until disease progression.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (30 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
