The number of chemotherapy lines is restricted to chemotherapeutic drugs, and each chemotherapy regimen is counted as a number of chemotherapy line, excluding targeted drugs and/or endocrine drugs; the same maintenance treatment as the previous chemotherapy regimen will not be counted. * With at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
Exclusion criteria
for Randomized Controlled Period in Stage I: * Use of investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to study treatment; * Have received major surgeries within 4 weeks prior to study treatment and have not recovered yet; * Have received a live vaccine inoculation within 4 weeks prior to the start of study drug administration or was scheduled to receive any vaccine during the study; * Have experienced arterial/venous thromboembolic events, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism within 1 year prior to the initiation of study treatment; * Suffering uncontrolled systemic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, interstitial lung disease, cirrhosis, etc.; * Currently suffering from active infections requiring systemic treatment; * With history of active tuberculosis; * With positive HIV test result; * Patients with active hepatitis B or C (HBsAg positive and HBV DNA positive; HCVAb positive); * Presence of effusion in the third space (including massive hydrothorax or ascites) that cannot be controlled by drainage or other methods; * With known hypersensitivity or delayed-type hypersensitivity to certain components of RC48-ADC, capecitabine, lapatinib or similar drugs; * With pre-existing gastrointestinal disorders that may affect absorption, such as ileus, ulcerative colitis, chronic diarrhea, inability to swallow, and other conditions that may affect drug administration and absorption; * With known psychiatric disorders or drug abuse disorders that might have an impact on compliance with protocol requirements; * Have any other diseases, metabolic disorders, abnormal physical examination findings or abnormal laboratory test results, which, judged by the investigator, are reasonably to suspect a disease or condition as a contraindication of the study drug, or may interfere the interpretation of the study results in the future, or that put the patient at a high risk; * Women who are pregnant or during lactation period or women/men with childbearing plans; * Subjects who are estimated to have poor compliance with the clinical study or the investigator determines that there are other factors not appropriate to participate in the study; * Presence of brain metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. * Had any other malignancy within 5 years prior to signing of the informed consent (except for non-melanoma skin cancer, cervix carcinoma in situ or other tumor that have been effectively treated and considered to be cured); * Have received prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug; * Have received hormonal therapy for breast cancer within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment; * Patients who received palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases within 2 weeks before the start of study treatment; * Have received anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment; * Have received capecitabine within 6 months prior to the start of study treatment, or have failed to respond to prior treatment with capecitabine (including progression while on capecitabine treatment or maintenance of clinical efficacy for a period of less than 6 months after treatment), or with intolerance to capecitabine.
