There is one clinical trial.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of and how well neratinib works in treating older patients with stage IV HER2-positive breast cancer. Neratinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Generalized linear models and graphical methods will be used to explore factors as identified by serum biomarkers that may be predictive of toxicity dose reductions, dose holds or hospitalizations..
