Design
Randomization: Arm A: trastuzumab 52 wks Arm B: lapatinib 52 wks Arm C: trastuzumab (12 wks), 6 wks rest, lapatinib (34 wks) Arm D: trastuzumab in combination with lapatinib for 1 yr
Objectives
To compare disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with HER2 overexpressing and/or amplified breast cancer randomised to trastuzumab for one year versus lapatinib for one year versus trastuzumab (12 or 18 weeks, according to assigned design) followed by a six-week treatment-free interval followed by lapatinib (28 or 34 weeks, according to assigned design) versus trastuzumab in combination with lapatinib for one year.
Endpoints
Primary endpoint:
Disease Free Survival
Secondary enpoints:
Overall survival (OS)
Time to recurrence (TTR)
Time to distant recurrence (TTDR)
Safety and tolerability
Cumulative incidence of brain metastases as the first site of breast cancer recurrence
Cohort analysis-cMyc gene amplification; expression levels of PTEN; p95HER2 domain
Eligibility Criteria
pT1-4, N0-3, M0 operable and HER2neu positive primary breast cancer Completed definitive surgery and received prior systemic (neo-) adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy LVEF >= 55 following completion of adjuvant chemotherapy
