• Cohort B (one of the following must be true):
  • Distant disease progression during administration of combination therapy with endocrine therapy and anti-HER2 therapy (trastuzumab or pertuzumab) for metastatic disease. Permissible endocrine therapies include an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant.
    • NOTE: Tamoxifen is not permissible.

• Tumors involving spinal cord or heart.
• Visceral crisis or lymphangitic spread.
  • NOTE: Visceral crisis is not the mere presence of visceral metastases, but implies severe organ dysfunction as assessed by symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, and rapid progression of disease.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent non-cardiac illness including, but not limited to:
  • ongoing or active infection;
  • psychiatric illness/social situations;
  • dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or other disease that requires continuous oxygen therapy;
  • or any other conditions that would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Immunocompromised patients and patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy.
  • NOTE: Patients known to be HIV positive, but without clinical evidence of an immunocompromised state, are eligible for this trial.
• Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm.
• History of myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months, or congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
• Prior history of hypersensitivity, drug or radiation-induced, or other immunemediated pneumonitis.
• Patient is unable to swallow oral medications or has impairment of GI function or GI disease that may significantly alter drug absorption (e.g. active inflammatory bowel disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or malabsorption syndrome).
  • Note: Concomitant therapy with proton pump inhibitors and/or H2- receptor antagonists is permissible.

  • EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanoma skin cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix which has been adequately treated.
  • NOTE: If there is a history of prior malignancy, patients must not be receiving other antineoplastic treatment for their cancer and the disease must be inactive/stable.
