The primary goal is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of T-DM1 and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients previously treated with taxanes and trastuzumab-based therapy. In addition, pharmacokinetic data on the combination of T-DM1 and liposomal doxorubicin will be obtained.
Subjects: Age ≥ 18 years with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer that have relapsed or progressed on or after taxanes and trastuzumab-based therapy. Subjects must have histologic or cytologic confirmation of the HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Evidence of measurable or evaluable metastatic disease is required. Primary objective: * To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of T-DM1 and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients previously treated with taxanes and trastuzumab-based therapy. Secondary objectives: * To determine the efficacy of the combination of T-DM1 and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, defined by the overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), number of progressions and number and reasons for deaths. * To assess the safety profile of the combination of T-DM1 and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, defined by all toxicities reported during the study. * To evaluate the cardiac safety of the combination of T-DM1 and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as assessed by echocardiography, cardiac troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. * To evaluate the potential role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the predisposition for developing cardiotoxicity. * To analyze the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of T-DM1 and its metabolites and non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Type of study: This is a prospective dose-finding, multicenter and open-label phase I clinical trial. Treatment: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) will be administered at a fixed dose of 3.6 mg/kg IV on Day 1 every 3 weeks and three cohorts of patients with three different dose levels of conventional non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (45 mg/m2, 50 mg/m2 and 60 mg/m2) IV on Day 1 in cycles of 21 days each are planned.

Overall Response Rate
Patients with best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on local investigator's assessment according to RECIST criteria guidelines (version 1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR
Time frame: Baseline up to 24 months after patient entry
Best Overall Response
Patients with best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on local investigator's assessment according to RECIST criteria guidelines (version 1.1)
Time frame: Baseline up to 24 months after patient entry
Clinical Benefit Rate
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) lasting more than 24 weeks based on local investigator's assessment
Time frame: Baseline up to 24 months after patient entry
Progression-free Survival
Patients with progression. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
