Participant milestones
Measure
Capecitabine (Xeloda) + Lapatinib (Tykerb)
Capecitabine for 2 weeks straight (Days 1-14) followed by 1 week without capecitabine (Days 15-21). Lapatinib will be taken daily continuously for 21 days (Days 1- 21). Capecitabine: The dose of capecitabine is 1000 mg/m2/dose twice each day, orally, 12 hours apart, for 14 consecutive days, every 21 days (total daily dose = 2000 mg/m2). Lapatinib: The daily dose of lapatinib is 1250 mg (5 tablets of 250 mg each) to be taken at approximately the same time each day, continuously. Lapatinib is taken even during the week that capecitabine is not taken.
