Each lesion must be ≥ 20 mm when measured by conventional techniques, including palpitation, plain x-ray, CT and MRI, or ≥10 mm when measured by spiral CT. * At least one target lesion to be used to assess response as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; Terasse, 2000). Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as non-target lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy. * Received 0 or 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease. * Note: Chemotherapy given in combination with radiation therapy as a radiosensitizer does not count toward this prior therapy limit * Recovered from the effects of surgery or chemotherapy. At least three weeks must have elapsed from the last administration of chemotherapy. * Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined in Table 1. * Table 1:(Definitions for Adequate Organ Function) * System:(Laboratory Values) * Hematologic: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)(≥ 1.5 X 109/L)Hemoglobin1(≥9 g/dL)Platelets(≥100 X 109/L) * Hepatic: Total bilirubin (≤1.5 X ULN)AST and ALT (≤2.5 X ULN) * Renal: Calculated creatinine clearance2 (≥50 mL/min) * Urine protein3 (Negative, trace or +1 by dipstick urinalysis or \<1.0 gram determined by 24 hour urine protein analysis.) * Subjects may not have had a transfusion within 7 days of screening assessment. * Calculated by Cockcroft Gault formula See Appendix 7: Renal Function Tests * A patient should first be screened with dipstick urinalysis. If urine protein by dipstick analysis is ≥2+, then a 24-hour urine protein must be assessed and 24 hour urine protein must be \<1 g protein to be eligible. * Ability to swallow and retain oral medication. * A female is eligible to enter and participate in this study if she is of: * Non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant), including any female who has had: * A hysterectomy * A bilateral oophorectomy (ovariectomy) * A bilateral tubal ligation * Is post-menopausal (total cessation of menses for ≥ 1 year) * Childbearing potential, has a negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, preferably as close to the first dose as possible, and agrees to use adequate contraception. GSK acceptable contraceptive methods, when used consistently and in accordance with both the product label and the instructions of the physician, are as follows: * An intrauterine device with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year. * Vasectomized partner who is sterile prior to the female subject's entry and is the sole sexual partner for that female. * Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse for 14 days before exposure to investigation product, through the dosing period, and for at least 21 days after the last dose of investigational product. * Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, foam suppository, or film; diaphragm with spermicide; or male condom and diaphragm with spermicide). Note: Oral contraceptives are not reliable due to potential drug-drug interactions. * Subjects must provide written informed consent prior to performance of study specific procedures or assessments, and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow-up as outlined in the protocol. Procedures conducted as apart of routine clinical management of the patient (e.g., blood count, imaging study) and obtained prior to signed informed consent may be utilized for screening purposes provided these tests are obtained as specified in the protocol

Participant flow
Recruitment details
Participants (par.) continued to be enrolled into all three treatment arms after clinical data cutoff for the interim analysis, but before the results were evaluated. Final total enrollment was 228 participants: 76 in the combination arm, 78 in the lapatinib monotherapy arm, and 74 in the pazopanib monotherapy arm.
Pre-assignment details
Study was initially designed and started as a randomized, three-arm, controlled trial. Participants were randomized to the combination of pazopanib plus lapatinib, pazopanib monotherapy, or lapatinib monotherapy. Based on results from a planned interim analysis, the combination group was terminated, but the monotherapy groups continued as planned.
