Summary

This trial is studying how well lapatinib ditosylate and trastuzumab work in treating older patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 60 or older with HER2 positive breast cancer that's either locally advanced or has spread to other body parts. Participants must be able to take oral meds, have a life expectancy over 12 weeks, and an ECOG status of <=2. They should not have active heart disease, infections like HIV, unstable brain metastases, or conditions affecting medication absorption.

What is being tested?

The study tests the combination of two drugs: Lapatinib and Trastuzumab in treating older patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see how well these drugs work together and what side effects they might cause when used in this age group.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal cells (infusion reactions), liver issues, diarrhea, rashes on hands and feet (hand-foot syndrome), fatigue, nausea or vomiting. Heart function may also be affected.
