An Open Label, Phase II Trial of Pre-operative Neratinib and Endocrine Therapy With Trastuzumab in ER-Positive, HER-2 Positive Cancers Hoosier Cancer Research Network BRE17-141
Patient will be treated with neratinib, an aromatase inhibitor and trastuzumab for 24 weeks prior to surgery, following an initial 3 weeks of neratinib alone, aromatase inhibitor alone or the combination of neratinib and an aromatase inhibitor. A breast biopsy will be performed prior to Day 1 of week 4 of treatment. Following surgery, patients will receive standard of care HER2-directed and endocrine therapy at the treating physician's discretion.
⁃ Subject must meet all of the following applicable inclusion criteria to participate in this study:
• Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
• Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
• Postmenopausal females. NOTE: Postmenopausal status defined as: prior bilateral oophorectomy, Age ≥ 60 years, or Age \< 60 years and amenorrhea for 12 or more months in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression) or an estradiol level in postmenopausal ranges per local reference range.
• ECOG Performance Status of 0-2 within 28 days prior to registration.
• Anatomic, clinical stage I-III, invasive breast cancer, greater than 10mm
• HER2-positive (by the most recent ASCO-CAP criteria)
• ER positive (≥ 10%). NOTE: There is no requirement for PR status; PR positive or negative allowed.
• Resectable breast cancer in which pre-operative therapy is appropriate (T \> 10mm and/or node-positive).
• Archival tissue from the diagnostic pre-treatment biopsy is required. This sample should be identified at screening and shipped by Week 4. If archival tissue is not available, the subject is not eligible for the study.
• Agreeable to repeat breast biopsy at 3 weeks after initiation of treatment.
• Candidate for either letrozole or anastrozole, as determined by the treating physician
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as assessed by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) documented within 4 weeks prior to the study treatment.
• Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined below; all screening labs to be obtained within 28 days prior to registration.

• HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months of registration are eligible for this trial.
• For patients with known serologic evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, the HCV viral load must be undetectable to be eligible for this trial.
• Ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study, as determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee.
