Abstract

Lapatinib, a small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitor is an effective radiosensitizer in preclinical studies. The primary objective of this phase I trial was to evaluate the toxicity of concomitant therapy with lapatinib and radiation patients with locally recurrent or chemotherapy-refractory, locally advanced breast cancer. As a secondary objective, we evaluated the impact of lapatinib on activation of receptor and downstream signal transduction pathways using serial tumor biopsies.
