Trastuzumab must have been administered in the adjuvant, or locally advanced or metastatic setting.
• Must have tumors that overexpress ErbB2 defined as +3 by IHC or FISH positive for ErbB2 gene amplification. The status of ErbB2 expression must be documented prior to study entry.
• Must be >/= 18 years of age
• Life expectancy of > 8 weeks
• Must have recovered from side effects of previous treatment
• Patients with CNS mets are eligible provided treatment with prohibited medications as listed in the protocol are not required
• Cardiac ejection fraction must be within the institutional range of normal as measured by ECHO. MUGA scans are allowed if ECHOs cannot be performed
• Able to swallow and retain oral medications
• Must have adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function

You may not qualify if…

• Pregnant or lactating females
• Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting GI function, or resection of the stomach or bowel, or ulcerative colitis

• Unresolved or unstable toxicity from prior administration of another investigational drug and/or prior cancer treatment
• Uncontrolled infection
• Active cardiac disease defined as history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina; history of arrhythmias requiring medication, or clinically significant, with the exception of asymptomatic atrial fibrillation requiring anticoagulation; MI < 6 months from study entry; uncontrolled or symptomatic CHF; ejection fraction below the institutional normal limit; any other cardiac condition that would make this protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient
• Receiving concurrent chemotherapy (other than capecitabine), radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy or hormonal therapy for cancer. Concurrent therapy with bisphosphonates is allowed
• History of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar composition to lapatinib or any excipients
