A Multicenter Phase II Clinical Trial Assessing the Efficacy of the Combination of Lapatinib and Capecitabine in Patients With Non Pretreated Brain Metastasis From HER2 Positive Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To assess the objective response rate by volumetric analysis of brain metastasis as
assessed by MRI in patients with HER2-positive stage IV breast cancer treated with
lapatinib ditosylate and capecitabine.

Secondary

- To document any toxicity evaluated by NCI CTC v3.0.

- To assess the time to radiotherapy.

- To document the time to disease progression in the central nervous system (CNS) of
these patients.

- To evaluate the overall response rate for extra-CNS disease.

- To assess the clinical benefit (complete response, partial response, and stable disease
for ≥ 6 months) for both CNS and extra-CNS disease in these patients.

Tertiary

- To evaluate serum proteomics and metabonomics markers as predictors of response.

- To evaluate the predictive value of circulating tumor cells (CTC) on response.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily. Patients also receive oral
capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
