GW572016 In Patients With ErbB2 Over - Expressing Advanced Or Metastatic Breast Cancer

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Neoplasms, Breast

Interventions: Drug: lapatinib

Registration Number: NCT00320411

Lead Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline

Brief Summary: This study (EGF104911) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lapatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Eligible subjects must have ErbB2 overexpressing tumors and are refractory to treatment with anthracycline, taxanes and trastuzumab containing regimens. The study data obtained from EGF104911 will be combined with the data from EGF100642 and integrated analysis will be carried out in order to enhance the credibility of the study results.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Tumor Response	Baseline and then followed every 4 weeks until disease progression or death. If treatment was terminated due to adverse events, then followed every 12 weeks until disease progression is noted.	Tumor response was measured as the number of participants achieving either a complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR; 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions) among all participants who received study treatment. Tumor response was evaluated as the best response in accordance with response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). Progressive disease: a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease: small changes that do not meet the above-mentioned criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures
