  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of MM-111 or who have had hypersensitivity reactions to fully human monoclonal antibodies, including Herceptin.
  • Patients who have received other recent antitumor therapy including:

    • Treatment with Herceptin within the 28 days prior to the first scheduled day of dosing with MM-111
    • Investigational therapy administered within the 28 days prior to the first scheduled day of dosing MM-111 (Dosing in less than 28 days' since receiving investigational therapy is acceptable once a time interval equal to at least five half-lives of the investigational agent has passed.)
    • Any standard chemotherapy, Tykerb (lapatinib) or radiation within 14 days (and having passed the time of any actual or anticipated toxicities) prior to the first scheduled dose of MM-111
  • Patients who have previously received MM-111
  • Patients with NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure or LVEF \< 50%
