Trial Information

A Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of KW-2450 in Combination With Lapatinib and Letrozole in Subjects With Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Whose Tumors Overexpress HER2


This open-label, sequential, ascending, multi-dose, Phase 1/2 study will enroll up to 198
post-menopausal subjects with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress
HER2. Subjects at each dose level will receive KW-2450 orally, on a continuous daily
schedule in combination with lapatinib and letrozole.

In the Phase 1 portion of the study, dose escalation may proceed once ≥ 3 subjects have
completed Day 30. The safety of each dose level will be established prior to enrollment of
subjects in the next dose level. Dose escalation will proceed sequentially. Up to 6 subjects
may be enrolled at each dose level. Enrollment will proceed until the MTD has been
established or the highest dose level has been reached.

The Phase 2 portion of the trial will enroll 168 additional subjects. The dose level will be
based on overall safety and tolerability assessments from the Phase 1 portion of the study.
The subjects will be randomized into two treatment arms (1) Arm A, KW-2450 plus lapatinib
plus letrozole: (2) Arm B, lapatinib plus letrozole.
