Vinorelbine Metronomic Plus Lapatinib as Salvage Therapy for Patients With Overexpressing HER-2 Metastatic Breast Cancer. A Multicenter Phase II Study
Continuous administration of oral vinorelbine, given three times a week (metronomic) is
feasible and exceptionally well tolerated at doses up to 50 mg. Early results show activity
against refractory tumors and provide evidence towards clinical proof of efficacy for
metronomic chemotherapy. Recently, lapatinib plus capecitabine was proven superior to
capecitabine alone in women with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has progressed
after treatment with regimens that included an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab.
