Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The incidence of neratinib discontinuations due to diarrhoea at the end of 3 cycles (1 cycle= 28 days) of neratinib treatment. [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]
    The proportion of patients who discontinue the treatment with neratinib due to diarrhoea within this time period.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of neratinib discontinuations due to any TEAE (treatment-emergent adverse event). [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The proportion of patients who discontinue the treatment of neratinib at any time due to any TEAE. TEAE are undesirable events not present prior to medical treatment, or an already present event that worsens either in intensity or frequency following the treatment.

  2. Time to neratinib discontinuations due to any TEAE (treatment-emergent adverse event). [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The time from the start of neratinib therapy to the discontinuation due to any TEAE.

  3. Incidence of diarrhoea of any grade/grade 3 or higher. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The proportion of patients with at least one TEAE of diarrhoea of any grade/grade 3 or higher coded and graded by the investigator according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.

  4. Cumulative duration of diarrhoea (Grade 2/3/4). [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The time from the diagnosis of each of the different diarrhoea Grades 2 or 3 or 4 coded and graded by the investigator according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 to the time of change to a different grade of this adverse event.

  5. Time to first episode of diarrhoea. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The time from the start of neratinib therapy to the first episode of diarrhoea of any grade, whichever occurs first.

  6. Incidence of neratinib discontinuation (for any reason). [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The proportion of patients who discontinued neratinib early (before 1 year of therapy).

  7. Time to neratinib discontinuation/neratinib treatment duration. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The time from the start of neratinib to the last dose of neratinib.

  8. Incidence of hospitalisations due to any reason and diarrhoea. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The proportion of patients who have a hospitalisation during the treatment with neratinib or 30 days after the last dose.

  9. Incidence of TEAEs and SAEs that include AESIs (ie, hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary, reproductive and developmental). [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The proportion of patients in which those events are observed.

  10. Cumulative dose of neratinib. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The total dose of neratinib administered during the study.

  11. Neratinib dose intensity. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The cumulative dose of neratinib divided by the neratinib treatment duration.

  12. Neratinib relative dose intensity. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    The dose intensity divided by 240 mg.

  13. Patient reported outcomes (PRO) of health related quality of life measured by FACT B. [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]

    PRO of health related quality of life will be assessed using the FACT-B questionnaire.

    The FACT-B is a 36-item questionnaire composed of five multi-item functional subscales: physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being and a subscale related with the breast cancer and its treatment. The questionnaire employs 5 points Likert scales with responses from "not at all" to "very much". The total score is obtained from the sum of the score on each subscale.

    Patients will complete a questionnaire at cycle 1 day 1 (before the first dose of neratinib and anti-diarrhoeal therapy), on day 1 of cycles 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 and at the End of Treatment Visit.


  14. Patient reported outcomes (PRO) of health related quality of life measured by EQ5D-5L [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]

    To be assessed using the EQ5D-5L questionnaire, a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. It has 2 components:

    • health state description: measured in terms of 5 dimensions; mobility (person's walking ability), self-care (ability to wash or dress by oneself), usual activities (work, study, housework, family or leisure activities), pain/discomfort (how much pain or discomfort they have), and anxiety/depression (how anxious or depressed they are). The number of levels of severity is 5; having no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and being unable to do/extreme problems. The respondents self-rate their level of severity for each dimension.
    • Evaluation: It also includes a visual analogue scale, EQ VAS, which records patient's self-rated health on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable).

    To be completed at day 1 of cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 and at the End of Treatment Visit.


  15. Patient reported outcomes (PRO) of health related quality of life measured by Systemic Therapy-Induced Diarrhea Assessment Test (STIDAT) [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]

    PRO of health related quality of life will be assessed using the STIDAT questionnaire.

    The STIDAT is a questionnaire that was developed using the FDA iterative process for patient-reported outcomes in which patients define diarrhoea based on presence of watery stool. The STIDAT assess patient's perception of having diarrhoea, daily number of bowel movements, daily number of diarrhoea episodes, antidiarrheal medication use, the presence of urgency, abdominal pain, abdominal spasms or fecal incontinence, patient's perception of diarrhoea severity, and QoL.

    Patients will complete the instrument at cycle 1 day 1 (before the first dose of neratinib and anti-diarrhoeal therapy), on day 1 of cycles 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 and at the End of Treatment Visit.



Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Minimal residual disease (MRD) [ Time Frame: Up to 13 months ]
    Correlation of biomarkers data with patient outcome and safety data These analysis will be performed in the biomarker population. Given a relapse rate of around 10%, we anticipate that approximately 150-200 patients would be sufficient to explore the prognostic value of the MRD assessed on circulating tumor DNA and the correlation of the molecular and clinical relapse.
