Description
This Phase III trial took patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2 (ERBB2) positive breast cancer that had progressed on prior trastuzumab treatment. Patients were given capecitabine (n=161) or lapatinib plus capecitabine (n=163). The primary endpoint of the study was time to progression. Median time to progression was 4.4 months in the capecitabine group and 8.4 months in capecitabine plus lapatinib group (hazard ratio was 0.49 ; 95% confidence interval, 0.34 to 0.71; P<0.001). The results indicated that lapatinib may be useful in addressing the problem of trastuzumab progression in HER2 breast cancer.
