Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Is it possible to predict from the pretreatment tumour biopsies whether or not lapatinib will be effective at turning off HER2 signalling?; Secondary Objective: Does the molecular response seen correlate with any of the following: Reduced tumour metabolic activity (as measured by PET scanning) Radiological response by standard criteria Increase in complete (R0) resection rate Rate of pathological complete remission ;Primary end point(s): Molecular response, defined as EITHER: reduction in composite immunohistochemistry score for phosphorylated protein by 2 or more OR: Reduction in ration of phosphorylated total protein by 50% or more on Western Blot | — |
