Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients must have histologically confirmed breast cancer that is either metastatic
or unresectable.

2. Patients must have received anthracyclines as treatment of either early stage or
metastatic breast cancer.

3. Previous taxane therapy is allowed.

4. Age >/= 18 years. There is limited data regarding the use of CT-2103 in children
under 18 and they will be excluded from this combination dose finding study.

5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status /=
60%).

6. Measurable disease is not required.

7. Previous endocrine therapies are allowed but should be discontinued prior to
initiation of therapy.

8. Patients must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the
investigational nature of the study, in keeping with institutional policy.

9. The effects of CT-2103 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason
women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and
for the duration of study participation. Females of childbearing potential are
defined as females who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been
postmenopausal for at least 24 months.

10. Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below: leukocytes >/=
3,000/ul; absolute neutrophil count >/= 1,500/ul; platelets >/= 100,000/ul; total
bilirubin within normal institutional limits; aspartate aminotransferase (AST or
SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) of normal; creatinine within normal institutional limits or creatinine clearance >/=
60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal;
coagulation prothrombin time (PT) and Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within normal
limits unless patients are already anti-coagulated for other reasons (i.e., atrial
fibrillation, etc.).

11. Patients with Her-2/neu positive tumors should have received prior trastuzumab if
clinically appropriate.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with preexisting neuropathy >/= grade 2.

2. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.

3. Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial
because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic
dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse
events.

4. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to CT-2103, gemcitabine or other agents used in study. History of typical
paclitaxel- or docetaxel-induced Grade 1-2 hypersensitivity reactions is permitted.

5. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements.

6. Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering
the study.

7. Previous history of stem cell transplantation.

8. History of central nervous system metastases.

9. While there is no strict exclusion based upon previous number of therapies, patients
who experienced grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity requiring the use of white blood
count (WBC) growth factor support during their most recent chemotherapy prior to
enrollment are excluded. Exceptions to this would include patients who received
growth factor support as mandated by a clinical study, and/or patients who have been
off all chemotherapy for at least 6 months.
