rise in PSA on two successive determinations at least one week apart and PSA levels
5ng/ml or greater and testosterone levels <50
- Adequate renal, hepatic and bone marrow function as outlined in protocol
- PTT< 60, INR <1.5NL unless on warfarin therapy
- > 6 month life expectancy
- At least a 4 week interval from previous treatment other than LHRH analog and
bisphosphonates. Patients on bicalutamide must have discontinued this medication for
at least 6 weeks to be eligible
- Patients receiving bisphosphonate can be maintained on this therapy

limits
Exclusion Criteria:
- No previous therapy with lapatinib
- No previous therapy with ketoconazole within 3 months of starting trial
- The use of complementary therapy directed at prostate cancer treatment excluding the
following: green tea, commercial multivitamin preparations. Vitamin B complex, C, D,

RDA

- Patients taking drugs that may further prolong QT intervals and present a known risk
for Torsades de Pointes are excluded.
- Patients who have alcohol or drug dependence currently or in the last 6 months are
excluded from this study
- Any other events, other than those defined above, in the opinion of the investigator,
may make the patient ineligible for this trial

unstable angina or new onset angina or myocardial infarction within the past 6
months. Cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy. Patients
must have an ejection fraction within normal limits at the enrolling institution
based on an echocardiogram

optimal medical management
