RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with trastuzumab may be a better way to block tumor growth.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome when given together with cyclophosphamide and trastuzumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IV breast cancer.

OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, non-randomized, phase I, dose-escalation study of pegylated doxorubicin HCl liposome followed by a phase II feasibility study.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pegylated doxorubicin HCl liposome until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 65 patients will be accrued for this study.
