Ixabepilone/Trastuzumab/Carboplatin
Neoadjuvant treatment with Ixabepilone, Trastuzumab and Carboplatin, followed by surgery, peri-operative treatment and post-operative (adjuvant) treatment if patient deemed to be a surgical candidate Ixabepilone: Ixabepilone 40mg/m2 IV infusion over 3 hours on day 1 of cycles 1-6 (all treatment cycles are 21 days in length) Trastuzumab: Trastuzumab 8mg/kg IV over 90 minutes for the first infusion (Cycle 1, Day 1) with a 60 minute post-infusion observation period. Subsequent infusions (Day 1 of Cycles 2-6 with all cycles being 21 days in length) 6mg/kg over 30 minutes if the previous dose was well tolerated; peri-operative trastuzumab 6mg/kg IV every 3-4 weeks; post-operative trastuzumab 6mg/kg IV day 1 every 3 weeks until week 52 Carboplatin: Carboplatin AUC=6 IV per institutional guidelines on Day 1 of Cycles 1-6 (all treatment cycles are 21 days in length)
