Inclusion Criteria: * Is the age of majority in their country * Has pathologically documented breast cancer that: 1. is unresectable or metastatic 2. has confirmed HER2-positive expression as determined according to American Society of Clinical Oncology - College of American Pathologists guidelines evaluated at a central laboratory 3. was previously treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) * Has documented radiologic progression (during or after most recent treatment or within 6 months after completing adjuvant therapy) * Is HER2 positive as confirmed by central laboratory assessment of most recent tumor tissue sample available. If archived tissue is not available, agrees to provide a fresh biopsy. * Male and female participants of reproductive/childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least: 1. 7 months after the last dose of DS-8201a (females); 4.5 months after last dose of DS-8201a (males) 2. 6 months after the last dose of lapatinib/capecitabine for female participants (3 months for male participants) 3. 7 months after the last dose of trastuzumab/capecitabine * Has adequate hematopoietic, renal and hepatic functions Exclusion Criteria: * Has previously participated in an antibody drug conjugate study sponsored by Daiichi Sankyo.
