Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at lapatinib resistance in patients with breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To identify secondary ErbB2 mutations in tumor tissue samples from patients with ErbB2-positive breast cancer treated with lapatinib ditosylate.
* To investigate ErbB2 copy number changes and expression levels.
* To determine abnormalities of other pathways (e.g., c-MET and PI3K) as potential mechanisms of resistance.

OUTLINE: Previously collected tumor tissue samples\* are obtained for genetic analysis studies. Samples are analyzed for secondary ErbB2 mutations by nested PCR; ErbB2 copy number changes by quantitative PCR and standard histological FISH; and ErbB2 expression levels by quantitative RT-PCR and IHC. Patients also undergo blood sample collection for extraction of DNA (as normal control DNA) and isolation of EpCAM-positive circulating tumor cells using immunomagnetic cell separation technology. Additional research studies may include mutational and amplification analysis of the c-MET and PI3K pathways.

NOTE: \*Patients may undergo biopsy if a post-treatment tumor tissue sample is unavailable.
