Study Summary

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) regulates cell growth and survival. Approximately 15-20% of all breast cancers are HER2-positive, which are an aggressive and fast-growing subtype of breast cancer. This study will evaluate a new treatment using a potent Poly polymerase (PARP) inhibitor known as Niraparib. Niraparib will be combined with trastuzumab, a HER2-targeted agent, to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. It is anticipated that the combination of drugs will improve survival and have few side effects.

Primary Outcome

A DLT is defined as hematological events \> or equal to grade 3 leukopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia and also non-hematological events \> or equal to grade 3 fatigue, nausea, constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea.
