| Secondary Objective: •To determine the safety profile of a Lapatinib/ Caelyx combination regimen in terms of qualitative and quantitative toxicities from first study treatment dose until completion of study treatment due to progression or for any other reason. •To evaluate the incidence of clinically apparent brain metastases. •To evaluate the study population with respect to the following: overall survival (from treatment start until death from any cause), progression free survival (from treatment start until progression or death from any cause), clinical benefit (CR, PR or stable disease for at least 24 weeks). •To evaluate Quality of Life (QoL) status within the study population as captured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 standard questionnaire. ;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a Lapatinib plus Caelyx combination regimen in the treatment of advanced metastatic breast cancer, in terms of overall response rates (complete or partial response, determined by radiologic evaluation according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)).;Main Objective: to determine the efficacy of a Lapatinib plus Caelyx combination regimen in the treatment of advanced metastatic breast cancer, in terms of overall response rates (complete or partial response, determined by radiologic evaluation according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)) | — |
