- Disease progression after at least one prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic
disease or within 12 months of adjuvant chemotherapy initiation.

- All chemotherapy must be stopped > 2 weeks before enrollment.

- Primary or metastatic tumor must be negative for estrogen and progesterone receptor
expression. Testing must be done in a CLIA-approved laboratory.

- Primary or metastatic tumor must have 0 or 1+ staining for HER2/neu identified
immunohistochemically (IHC), by an approved method using one of the standard
monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies (HercepTest, cb-11, PAb1, or TAB250), or if FISH
status is known, it must be negative. Testing must be done in a CLIA-approved
laboratory.

PTT and either INR or PT < 1.5x normal; Total bilirubin <= 1.5 X upper limit of
normal; AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase <= 2 X upper limit of normal (or <= 5X
upper limit of normal if known liver metastases)

access device, within 7 days prior to study enrollment

- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal
abscess within 6 months prior to study enrollment

- Proteinuria at screening as demonstrated by either: Urine protein:creatinine (UPC)
ratio >1.0 at screening OR Urine dipstick for proteinuria >2+ (patients discovered to
have >2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24-hour
urine collection and must demonstrate <1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible)

- Patients with active infection

- Women who are pregnant or lactating

- Radiation therapy within 3 weeks of study entry

- Patients with hypersensitivity to ABI-007, Chinese hamster ovary cell products, or
other recombinant human antibodies
