Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Histologically proven TCC of the urothelial tract in patients who overexpress HER1 and/or HER2 (IHC 2/3+ FISH/CISH +) - Metastatic or locally advanced disease with involvement of at least one target not in previously irradiated fields - Tissue from the primary or metastatic site must be available for biomarker status determination - Measurable disease according to RECIST - Normal bone marrow, renal, hepatic and cardiac functions
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. - No radiotherapy within the last 4 weeks before inclusion - Drugs which are inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 are prohibited
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Lapatinib in combination with cisplatin/gemcitabine and cisplatin/gemcitabine/paclitaxel based on the documentation of the acute dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in cycle 1. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of Lapatinib in combination with cisplatin/gemcitabine and cisplatin/gemcitabine/paclitaxel - To assess the anti-tumor activity according to RECIST, in those patients with measurable disease - To explore the patient population by determination of intra-tumoral expression levels of relevant biomarkers from tumor tissue: three Erb/EGFR family members (HER1, HER2,HER3, HER4), AKT (58kDa serine/threonine protein kinase), TUNEL, p53 , MAPK and Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1R) and potentially other signalling pathways likeVEGF together with biomarkers that are downstream of these receptors. | — |
