• NERATINIB ARM: It is not known what effects neratinib has on human pregnancy or development of the embryo or fetus. Therefore, female patients participating in this study should avoid becoming pregnant, and male patients should avoid impregnating a female partner. Non-sterilized female patients of reproductive age group and male patients should use effective methods of contraception through defined periods during and after study treatment as specified below: * Female patients must meet 1 of the following: ** Postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, or ** Surgically sterile, or ** If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception from the time of signing of the informed consent form through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse. Neratinib may decrease effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, therefore, women are recommended to use non-hormonal methods of contraception. Highly effective non-hormonal birth control for women of child bearing potential with male partners includes: *** Sexual abstinence (no sexual intercourse) *** Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) *** Bilateral tubal ligation (both tubes tied) *** Vasectomized partner *** Effective barrier contraception * Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy) must agree to 1 of the following: ** Practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse
