Registration Number
NCT01272141
Lead Sponsor
Emory University
Brief Summary

The patient is being asked to join this clinical research study to find out if lapatinib, an agent that targets a protein, called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the surface of cancer cells in combination with everolimus, an agent that targets a protein in the cancer cell, called mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is effective in metastatic triple negative breast cancers that are no longer controlled by standard chemotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with current active hepatic or biliary disease (except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones, liver metastases or stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment)
  • Patients with an active infection or with a fever > 101.3 Fahrenheit within 3 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment

  • Patients who received radiotherapy to more than 25% of their bone marrow; or patients who received radiotherapy to target lesions within 4 weeks of entry
  • Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy
  • Peripheral neuropathy >= Grade 2
  • Patients who are pregnant or lactating
  • Any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the results.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response Rate Will Measured Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria. Tumor Assessment for All Lesions Must be Performed Every Eight Weeks While on Study by CT Scan.Tumor assessment for all lesions must be performed by CT scan every 8 weeks while on study.
The Safety and Toxicity of the Combination Therapy of Lapatinib and Everolimus Will be Monitored Using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v. 3.0. The Incidence of Any Grade 3 or 4 Toxicities Will be Analyzed.Safety assessments will be performed every four weeks while the patient remains on study.
