Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see what kinds of breast tumors will respond to lapatinib. Lapatinib is an experimental medicine which may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically-confirmed by either core or fine needle biopsy primary invasive carcinoma of the breast;
  • AJCC T2-T3 disease (>2.0 cm without chest wall or skin invasion) by at least one imaging modality (either mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI) - entry criteria is based on radiologic staging and not final pathologic staging;
  • ECOG performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky ≥ 70%

  • No prior chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or radiation therapy to the affected breast for current or previous malignancy;
  • Cardiac ejection fraction >50% or within the institutional range of normal;
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function defined as: Leukocyte count >3000/uL; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3, platelets > 100,000/mm3, and hemoglobin ≥ 8 gm/dl; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN, or 24-hour creatinine clearance ≥ 75 cc/min; Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN; SGOT ≤ 2.5 times ULN; alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 ULN times ULN.
  • The effects of lapatinib on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • AJCC T1, T4, or stage 4 disease;
  • Patients may not have undergone incisional or excisional biopsy of their tumor;
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents;
  • Absolute contraindication to MRI imaging (cardiac pacemaker or any non-removable metallic foreign object in the body);
  • On chronic therapy with any known inducer or inhibitor of CYP3A4
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant or lactating women are excluded from this study because lapatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LapatinibDrug

    Patients will take 14 days of Lapatinib prior to definitive surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in downstream effector levels in biologic responders to lapatinib as determined by degree of change in proliferation and apoptosis compared to biologic non-responders.

    Measured: Study completion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To describe the biologic response rate, defined by induction of apoptosis, to Lapatinib in a pre-surgical, treatment-naïve breast cancer population.

    Measured: Study completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lapatinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in downstream effector levels in biologic responders to lapatinib as determined by degree of change in proliferation and apoptosis compared to biologic non-responders. (time frame: Study completion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Dec 2015.
