Summary

The purpose of this research study is to :

* Determine how effective cisplatin or carboplatin is in slowing the time it takes for ER negative (estrogen-receptor-negative), PR negative (progesterone receptor-negative), HER2 negative (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) breast cancer to progress. Cisplatin and carboplatin are anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs that stop cancer cells from growing abnormally and is used to treat other cancers.
* Evaluate a new biomarker to help determine which breast cancers are most likely to respond to cisplatin chemotherapy

The hypothesis is that Triple Negative metastatic breast cancer may be particularly sensitive to platinum, and that a subgroup of those patients may have a marker in their tumors that predicts response.

Conditions

DRUG

Cisplatin

Given intravenously on the first day of each 3-week treatment cycle at 75mg/m2. Participants may continue to receive study treatment as long as their disease does not worsen and they do not experience serious side effects.

DRUG

carboplatin

Given intravenously on the first day of each 3-week treatment cycle at AUC 6. Participants may continue to receive study treatment as long as their disease does not worsen and they do not experience serious side effects.
