8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
performed within 7 days prior to start of treatment and must commit to begin two
acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method of birth control and
one additional effective method at the same time before starting treatment.

Additional Breast Cancer Patient Subset (Part 2 and Part 3)

Inclusion Criteria:

disease.

2. ICH 3+ overexpression or FISH amplification documented by a local laboratory in
primary or metastatic tumor tissue.

3. Prior treatment with an anthracycline, taxane, and trastuzumab or not a candidate for
such treatment. Patient may have received these drugs in combination or in sequence
for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic disease and/or adjuvant therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior treatment with an HDAC inhibitor or current treatment with valproic acid.

2. Previous treatment with capecitabine.

3. Impaired cardiac function including any of the following:

- Screening ECG with a QTc > 450 msec.

- Congenital long QT syndrome.

- History of sustained ventricular tachycardia.

- Any history of ventricular fibrillation or torsades de pointes.

- Bradycardia defined as heart rate < 50 beats per minute. Patients with a
pacemaker and heart rate > 50 beats per minute are eligible.

- Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of study entry.

- Congestive heart failure (NY Heart Association class III or IV).

- Right bundle branch block and left anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block).

- Atrial fibrillation or flutter.

- Ongoing therapy with antiarrhythmics or other medications associated with QTc
prolongation.

4. Uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesaemia.

5. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] 180 or diastolic BP > 100 mm
Hg) or uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias.

6. Active CNS disease, including meningeal metastases.

7. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

8. Unresolved diarrhea > CTCAE grade 1.

9. Concomitant requirement for medication classified as CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors.

10. Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar
chemical or biologic composition to lapatinib.

11. Patients with known hypersensitivity to 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy, investigational
drug therapy, major surgery < 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or patients that
have not recovered from side effects of previous therapy.

12. Patient is < 5 years free of another primary malignancy except if the other primary
malignancy is not currently clinically significant or requiring active intervention,
or if other primary malignancy is a basal cell skin cancer or a cervical carcinoma in
situ. Existence of any other malignant disease is not allowed.

13. Concomitant use of any anti-cancer therapy or radiation therapy.

14. Pregnant or breast feeding or female of reproductive potential not using two
effective methods of birth control.

15. Male patients whose sexual partners are women of childbearing potential not using
effective birth control.

16. Patients with gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease, causing the inability to take oral
medication, malabsorption syndrome, a requirement for intravenous (IV) alimentation,
prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, uncontrolled inflammatory GI disease
(e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).

17. Other concurrent severe, uncontrolled infection or intercurrent illness, including
but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social
situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

18. Patients taking any medications listed in "Prohibited Medications" for both
capecitabine and lapatinib .

19. Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy (PT and/or PTT > 1.2 x ULN; patient must also
be on stable dose of anticoagulant for a defined medical indication).
