Further study details as provided by GlaxoSmithKline:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of disease progression at 12 weeks between pazopanib in combination with lapatinib versus lapatinib alone in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress the ErbB2 protein. [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Week 12 response rate Overall survival (OS) Time to response Duration of response Safety and tolerability between subjects treated with pazopanib in combination with lapatinib versus subjects treated with lapatinib alone. [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ]
  • The principal secondary endpoint is 12-week response rate in subjects receiving the higher combination dose (Cohort 2), 12-week RR is defined as the percentage of subjects having a CR or PR at week 12 of the study.
  • Other secondary objectives include: 12-week Response Rate defined as the percentage of subjects within each group of Cohort 1 having a CR or PR at week 12 of the study. This endpoint will be assessed at both the interim and final analyses.
  • Overall Survival, time to response and duration of response.
  • Safety and tolerability of the combination of pazopanib and lapatinib as well as lapatinib alone in this subject population.
  • Rate of disease progression at week 12 in subjects receiving the higher combination dose (Cohort 2)

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:
  • Women ≥ 18 years of age with a life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks. (Note: National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS) and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA).)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1.
  • Histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with incurable stage IIIb, stage IIIc with T4 lesion, or stage IV disease at primary diagnosis or at relapse after curative-intent surgery [Singletary, 2002].
  • No prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy or anti-ErbB1/ErbB2 therapy for metastatic or recurrent disease (other than neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy). Prior hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen, raloxifen or an aromatase inhibitor) for advanced or metastatic disease is permitted provided at least 2 weeks have elapsed between the completion of the prior therapy and start of study drugs.

Note: Subjects must have documented PD or be intolerant to hormonal therapy. This must be documented in the source documentation.

  • Prior neoadjuvant therapy and/or adjuvant therapy is permitted. Note: (a) Subjects who have received both neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies must have at least 6 months between completion of the chemotherapy-component of adjuvant therapy and start of study drug(s) (b) Subjects who have received only adjuvant therapy must have at least 6 months between completion of the chemotherapy-component of adjuvant therapy and start of study drug(s) (c) Subjects who have received only neoadjuvant therapy must have at least 6 months between completion of neoadjuvant therapy and start of study drug(s) (d) Subjects who have received trastuzumab or hormonal agents as all or part of adjuvant therapy are eligible provided: (1) 2 weeks have elapsed since last dose (2) 6 months have elapsed between the start of trastuzumab or hormonal therapy and start of study drugs.
  • Radiotherapy prior to initiation of randomized therapy to a limited area (e.g., palliative treatment for painful disease) other than the sole site of measurable and assessable disease is allowed however, subjects must have completed treatment at least 4 weeks prior to starting study drugs, and must have recovered from all treatment-related toxicities prior to starting pazopanib and/or lapatinib.
  • Documented amplification of ErbB2 by FISH in either the primary or metastatic tumor tissue. Archived tumor tissue must be provided for ErbB2 FISH testing by the central laboratory, which will be used to determine eligibility.

Note: Subjects that have documented ErbB2 amplification based on prior FISH testing or documented ErbB2 overexpression based on prior immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a value of 3+ are eligible, however, archived tumor tissue must be provided for confirmation by the central laboratory. If the results from prior testing are not confirmed by the central laboratory, then the subject can continue to receive study drug(s) at the discretion of the investigator, but will be excluded from the statistical analysis.

  • Archived tumor tissue (paraffin-embedded) must be available to correlate tumor response with intra-tumoral genetic changes as well as expression levels of relevant biomarkers. Results of biomarkers will not be used to determine subject eligibility for the study.
  • Ability to swallow and retain oral medication.
  • Disease must be measurable according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; Therasse, 2000).

Subjects must have chosen treatment with lapatinib and/or pazopanib as initial treatment over other initial treatments (such as cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens or trastuzumab as a single agent) for locally advanced or metastatic disease.

  • Adequate organ function as defined in Table 1 below:

Table 1 (Definitions for Adequate Organ Function) System (Laboratory Values) Hematologic:Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)(≥ 1.5 X 109/L)Platelets (≥100 X 109/L) Hepatic:Albumin(≥2.5 g/dL)Serum bilirubin(≤ 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) unless due to Gilbert's syndrome)AST and ALT(≤2.0 X ULN) Renal:Calculated creatinine clearance1 (≥50 mL/min)Urine Protein2 (Negative, trace or +1 by dipstick urinalysis or <1.0 gram determined by 24 hour urine protein analysis).

  1.  See Appendix 7
  2. 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.

    • Cardiac ejection fraction within the institutional range of normal as measured by echocardiogram. MUGA scans will be accepted in cases where an echocardiogram cannot be performed or is inconclusive or where MUGA scans are the accepted standard.
