What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neratinib, an FDA-approved oral pan-HER2/3/4 inhibitor, improves disease control for participants with metastatic endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2-negative breast cancer. Neratinib is already approved for the treatment of HER2-postive breast cancers. The study will also learn about the safety of adding this drug to standard of care treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does adding neratinib to standard of care systemic therapy improve disease control for patients with metastatic hormone-driven breast cancer that is resistant to endocrine therapy?

2. What side effects do participants have when adding neratinib to standard of care therapy? Researchers will compare standard of care endocrine therapy regimens with and without neratinib to see if neratinib improves control of treatment-resistant metastatic breast cancer that has continued to progress while eon first line endocrine therapy.

Participants will:

1. Take standard of care endocrine therapy for metastatic endocrine-resistant breast cancer as determined by their medical oncologist or standard of care therapy with neratinib daily

2. Visit the clinic every 3 months for checkups, tests and imaging studies

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for people with metastatic breast cancer that is ER-positive, HER2-negative, and has stopped responding to hormone (endocrine) therapy. Participants must have low MLH1 levels in their tumors and be able to take oral medications.

Inclusion Criteria

Tumors must be MLH1-low defined by <50% tumor cells positive for nuclear MLH1 expression on immunohistochemistry
I am eligible for any standard endocrine therapy as my next treatment.
I am mostly unable to care for myself and spend most of my time in bed or a chair.

Exclusion Criteria

I have had another type of cancer besides non-melanoma skin cancer.
I am currently taking another targeted cancer therapy.
I have at least one tumor that has not been treated with targeted therapy.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • CDK4/6 Inhibitors + Endocrine Therapy
  • Endocrine Therapy
  • Neratinib

Trial Overview

The study compares standard endocrine therapy (like letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen or fulvestrant), with or without the addition of neratinib—a targeted drug taken by mouth—to see if adding neratinib helps control the cancer better.
