Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether neratinib is safe and effective in treating women with advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer.

Detailed description

Arm A: HER2 gene amplification and disease progression following at least 6 weeks of standard doses of Herceptin; Arm B: HER2 gene amplification and no prior Herceptin or HER2-targeted treatment.
