Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study will determine if changes in expression of markers involved in the 5-FU pathways are associated with response to treatment with the combination of lapatinib and capecitabine independent of tumor erbB2 status.

[]Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Change From Start of Run-in Period in Biomarker Expression Levels at Day 0
- timeFrame
- evaluated at baseline and after 7 days of study treatment
- description
- Participants were analyzed for intratumoral expression levels of genes involved in the 5-fluorouracil (FU) pathway and lapatinib-targeted genes. Change in biomarker expression levels was calculated as the levels measured after the lapatinib Run-in Period (Baseline) of the study minus the levels measured at the start of monotherapy (Day -7). EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; HER, human epidermal growth factor receptor. Data are presented as ratios of the normalized gene expression of the target gene to that of beta actin.
- measure
- Response Rate (Measured as the Percentage of Participants With Response [Complete Response or Partial Response])
- timeFrame
- From Baseline (Day 0) until disease progression or death due to any cause evaluated every 6 or 12 weeks (up to approximately 85 weeks)
- description
- Response is defined as documented evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The investigator evaluated response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions (TLs) and non-TLs and the appearance of no new lesions (NLs). Partial response for TLs is defined as \>= a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of TLs, taking as a reference the Baseline sum LD. For non-TLs it is defined as the persistence of 1 or more non-TL and no new TLs or non-TLs.
