Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Key inclusion criteria

1. Signed informed consent;

2. Subjects with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with stage IV disease at
primary diagnosis or at relapse after curative-intent surgery;

- Subjects with either measurable or non-measurable disease per Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

- If the disease was restricted to a solitary lesion, its neoplastic nature was
confirmed by cytology or histology.

3. Tumors that were ER+ and/or PgR+;

4. Post-menopausal female subjects = 18 years of age.

5. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1;

6. Subjects who had archived tumor tissue available to compare tumor response with
intra-tumoral expression of ErbB1 and ErbB2.

7. Adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor and / or trastuzumab was allowed;
however, treatment was to stop more than 1 year prior (>12 months) to the first dose
of randomized therapy.

8. Subjects must have ended hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) at least 1 month (30 days)
prior to receiving the first dose of randomized therapy.

Key exclusion criteria:

1. Pre-menopausal, pregnant, or lactating;

2. Received prior chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, or
anti-ErbB1/ErbB2 therapy for advanced or metastatic disease;

3. Bisphosphonate therapy for bone metastases was allowed; however, treatment was to be
initiated prior to the first dose of randomized therapy. Prophylactic use of
bisphosphonates in subjects without bone disease, except for the treatment of
osteoporosis, was not permitted;

4. Used an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer,
preceding the first dose of randomized therapy (lapatinib or placebo);

5. Subjects with known history of/clinical evidence of CNS metastases or leptomeningeal
carcinomatosis; and / or subjects on concurrent anti-cancer therapies other than
letrozole; and / or who have not recovered from toxicities related to prior adjuvant
therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy etc.)

6. Subjects with active or uncontrolled infection and/ or with history of uncontrolled or
symptomatic angina, arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure.

Summary
Brief summary
This study evaluated and compared the efficacy and tolerability of lapatinib and letrozole,
with letrozole and placebo in post-menopausal women with hormone receptor positive (ER
positive and/or PgR positive) advanced or metastatic breast cancer, who had not received
prior therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
