Objective Response Rate

Subjects with partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) with ERBB2 positive breast cancer treated at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of neratinib in combination with paclitaxel, per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v.1.0: CR, disappearance of all target lesions; PR, \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; and no progressive disease (PD) for non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

Time frame: From first dose date to progression or last tumor assessment, up to 140 weeks

Population: All subjects, in Study part 2 evaluable population, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, received at least 2 weeks of neratinib and at least 2 doses of paclitaxel, and underwent at least 1 post-Baseline tumor assessment. Subjects who died or had symptomatic deterioration before the first scheduled post-Baseline tumor assessment were included.
