Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess clinical benefit (defined at 4 months as complete response, partial response or stable disease), safety and preserved geriatric independence. (main objective is a “bi-criteria” or composite criteria).;Secondary Objective: - Duration of clinical benefit - Time to progression defined as the time from inclusion to disease progression or death due to breast cancer - Overall response rate - Progression free survival (the time from inclusion to disease progression or death due to any cause) - Overall survival - Time to treatment failure - Determination of toxicity of the combination - Number of patients treated with 3 and 6 cycles and % of dose administrated - Investigation of the minimal and maximal concentration (Cmin-Cmax) of lapatinib and capecitabine - Geriatric impact of the combination on ADL, IADL, G8 (ONCODAGE) , QLQC30 item 29-30;Primary end point(s): The trial is designed according to the Bryant and Day methodology, allowing the evaluation of both (1) therapeutic efficacy and (2) tolerance, this latter encompassing standard toxicity due to treatment (NCIC CTC v.4) and deleterious impact of treatment on functional status (IADL).
