| Main Objective: to estimate the effect of GW572016 compared with placebo on the change in tumour cell proliferation in breast cancer tissue at baseline by core biopsy and after 3 or 9 weeks on the surgical specimen.;Secondary Objective: percentage of pCR; objective response rate; percent change in Epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR or HER-1 and HER-2; apoptosis ; additional markers of cell activation status; plasma concentrations of GW572016; incidence and severity of adverse event;Primary end point(s): percent change of Ki-67 | — |
