Study information
Scientific title
A study of Lapatinib in combination with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in Early HER-2 overexpressing Oesophageal and gastric cancers
Acronym
LEO
Study hypothesis
This study will test whether the ex vivo molecular response on a pre-treatment biopsy can predict the molecular response on a biopsy taken after 10 days of treatment with lapatinib. The study will also report observations of patterns of radiological, functional imaging and pathological response associated with molecular response
Ethics approval
