Brief summary
This is two-part study (Phase I/Phase II). Part I is designed to find the optimal (best) doses of GW572016 and trastuzumab when given together,Part II is designed to evaluate the tumor response rate (shrinkage or lack of growth) in patients receiving lapatinib and trastuzumab.
Interventions
Tablets contain 405mg of lapatinib ditosylate monohydrate, equivalent to 250mg lapatinib free base per tablet. Oval, orange, film-coated tablets.
