RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Sometimes when tamoxifen is given, it does not stop the growth of tumor cells. The tumor is said to be resistant to tamoxifen. Giving lapatinib together with tamoxifen may reduce drug resistance and allow the tumor cells to be killed.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving lapatinib together with tamoxifen works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that did not respond to previous tamoxifen.

Official Title: | A Phase II Study of GW572016 and Tamoxifen in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Resistant to Single-Agent Tamoxifen |
Estimated Enrollment: | 41 |
Study Start Date: | May 2005 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive oral lapatinib and oral tamoxifen once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months thereafter.
