Study Summary

This was a multi-center, multinational, randomized, open-label, Phase III study comparing combination taxane-based chemotherapy plus lapatinib to combination taxane-based chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in women with documented evidence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) (by local or central laboratory testing) who had received no prior chemotherapy or HER2 targeted therapy in the metastatic setting.

Primary Outcome

Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from randomization to the earliest date of RECIST 1.0 assessment of disease progression (with radiological evidence), death from any cause, or censoring. Disease progression was assessed by the Investigator and defined by RECIST v1.0 as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
