Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Males and females aged equal to or more than 18 years. 2. Patients with histological or cytological confirmed HER2 positive advanced breast cancer who have been previously treated with more than or equal to 1 prior HER2 directed therapy for advanced disease and for whom the investigator has planned Lapatinib plus Capecitabine as the intended regimen. Note, HER2 positive status will be assessed with 3 plus staining intensity by immune histochemistry or HER2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridisation indicating HER2 positivity. A HER2 positive breast cancer confirmed by the pathology department of the participating study centre. 3. At least one measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. 4. ECOG physical performance 0 to 1 5. Subjects willing to comply with protocol requirements 6. Willing to provide written informed consent 7. Lab parameters should meet the following requirements: ANC, more than or equal to 1.5 x 109 per Liter, Platelet more than or equal to 90 x 109 per Liter, Hb more than or equal to 9.0 gm per dl, Total bilirubin more than or equal to 1.0 x upper limit of normal, ALT and AST more than or equal to 2 x ULN, patients with liver metastases, less than or equal to 5 x ULN, Creatinine less than or equal to 1 x ULN, creatinine clearance less than or equal to 50 mL per min, LVEF less than or equal to 50 percent. 8. Fridericia-corrected QT interval less than 450 msec for males and less than 470 msec for females 9. Female subjects of child-bearing potential should have negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use adequate birth control during the entire study period. a. For women who are not postmenopausal, postmenopausal defined as more than or equal to 12 months of Non therapy induced amenorrhea, or surgically sterile, absence of ovaries and or uterus agreement to remain abstinent or use single or combined non hormonal contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of less than 1 percent per year during the treatment period and for at least 8 weeks after the last dose of study treatment b. Abstinence is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence e.g., calendar, ovulation, or post ovulation methods and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. c. Examples of non hormonal contraceptive methods with a failure rate of less than 1 percent per year include tubal ligation, male sterilization, and certain non hormonal intrauterine devices. Alternatively, two methods, e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and a cervical cap, may be combined to achieve a failure rate of less than 1percent per year. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide d. For men, agreement to remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of less than 1 percent per year during the treatment period and for at least 1 week after the last dose of study treatment e. Abstinence is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence e.g., calendar, ovulation, or post ovulation methods and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
