Criteria
Inclusion Criteria for Pre-registration (for patients with unknown HER2 mutation status to
have tumor tissue screened centrally by Washington University GPS laboratory):

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-negative (0 or 1+ by IHC or
non-amplified by FISH) breast cancer that is stage IV.

- Agree to provide archival tumor material for research

- There is no limitation on the number of prior lines of systemic therapy.

- Presence of measurable or non-measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 is acceptable, except
to be eligible for the Part II fulvestrant-naive ER+ cohort, at least one measurable
disease by RECIST 1.1 is required.

- At least 18 years of age.

- ECOG performance status ≤ 2

- Adequate organ function as defined below within 8 weeks of pre-registration:

- Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN

- Chil-Pugh class A if with liver disease

- Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent
document.

Note: HER2 mutation testing may be performed while the patient is receiving active systemic
therapy for metastatic breast cancer so that the result can be used to determine
eligibility for study drug therapy in the future.

Exclusion Criteria for Pre-registration:

- Testing for LVEF is not required for pre-registration, but patient must not have a
recent LVEF < LLN or have symptoms of congestive heart failure.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social
situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

- Acute or currently active hepatic or biliary disease requiring antiviral therapy (with
the exception of Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones, liver metastases, or
stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment).

- History of significant cardiac disease, cardiac risk factors, or uncontrolled
arrhythmias.

- Symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or extensive tumor involvement of the lungs
resulting in dyspnea at rest.

Inclusion Criteria for Registration (for patients initially pre-registered and with HER2
mutation identified by Washington University GPS laboratory)

- Tumor tissue tested positive for HER2 mutation. HER2 mutations detected by Guardant360
are also eligible.

- Agree to provide archival tumor material for research

- ECOG performance status ≤2

- Adequate organ function as defined below within 2 weeks of registration:

- ANC ≥1.5 x 10^9/L

- Platelet count ≥100 x 10^9/L

- Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN

- Child-Pugh class A if with liver disease

- The patient must have completed radiation therapy and be at least 1 week from the last
systemic chemotherapy administration, with adequate recovery of bone marrow and organ
functions, before starting neratinib.

- Presence of disease progression on the most recent disease evaluation.

- Patients with known brain metastasis are eligible, but must have received radiation
and be off steroids and stable (without evidence of disease progression by imaging or
exam) for 3 months.

- QTc interval ≤450 msec for men or < or ≤ 470 msec for women within 2 weeks of
registration.

- LVEF > or = institutional ILLN within 4 weeks of registration.

- Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for
the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is
pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician
immediately. Men must agree and commit to use a barrier method of contraception while
on treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of the investigational product.

- Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent
document.

- There is no limitation on the number of prior lines of systemic therapy.

- To be eligible for the Part II fulvestrant-naive ER+ cohort, prior treatment with
fulvestrant is not allowed. In addition, ER and/or PR positivity by institutional
standard is required on pathology from the most recent tumor specimen if biopsy was
done unless the tissue source (for example, pleural effusion or ascites or bone
biopsy) may yield false negative ER and/or PR result, in which case the pathology from
an earlier time point could be used and a discussion with the study chair is required.

- To be eligible for the Part II fulvestrant-treated ER+ cohort, prior disease
progression on fulvestrant is required. In addition, ER and/or PR positivity by
institutional standard is required on pathology from the most recent tumor specimen
unless the tissue source (for example, pleural effusion or ascites or bone biopsy) may
yield false negative ER and/or PR result, in which case the pathology form an earlier
time point could be used and a discussion with the study chair is required.

Inclusion Criteria for Registration (for patients with HER2 mutation identified at an
outside CLIA certified location):

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-negative (0 or 1+ by IHC or
non-amplified by FISH) breast cancer that is stage IV.

- Tumor tissue or circulating tumor DNA tested positive for HER2 mutation. Mutations
outside the list will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the study team to
determine eligibility.

- Presence of measurable or non-measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 is acceptable, except
to be eligible for the Part II fulvestrant-naïve ER+ cohort, at least one measurable
disease by RECIST 1.1 is required.

- At least 18 years of age.

- ECOG performance status < 2 (see Appendix A).

- Adequate organ function as defined below within 2 weeks of registration:

- Absolute neutrophil count: ≥1.5 × 109/L (1500/mm3)

- Platelet count: ≥100 × 109/L (100,000/mm3)

- Serum creatinine: ≤1.5 x ULN

- Child-Pugh class A if with liver disease

systemic therapy administration, with adequate recovery of bone marrow and organ
functions, before starting neratinib.
