Part I: met HER2- BC w/HER2 mutationsExperimentalPatients will receive neratinib PO daily on Days 1-28. Each cycle is 4 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If a participant experiences disease progression following neratinib, trastuzumab (or FDA approved biosimilar) may be added to the treatment regimen. Trastuzumab may be administered intravenously with a loading dose of 6 mg/kg then 4 mg/kg every 2 weeks. A cycle will be defined as 28 days.
