- ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1;
- Subjects must have archived tumor tissue available to compare tumor response with intra-tumoral expression of ErbB1 and ErbB2. Archived tumor tissue will also be used to confirm estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity. Results will not be used to determine subject eligibility for the study;
- Adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor is allowed; however, treatment must have ended more than 1 year prior (>12 months) to the first dose of randomized therapy;

- Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial;
- Used an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, preceding the first dose of randomized therapy (GW572016 or placebo);
