Inclusion Criteria (Group A):

• Age ≥18 years at the time of informed consent.
• Male and female subjects with confirmed HER2 adenocarcinoma of the breast with advanced disease (advanced disease will be defined as metastatic disease or locally advanced disease that is surgically unresectable and considered unmanageable with standard therapies such as radiation or systemic therapies) who have had disease progression on at least one standard hormonal or chemotherapy regimen for advanced breast cancer or who have refused standard therapies.
• Evaluable disease either by measurable disease (RECIST) or nonmeasurable disease.
• ECOG ≤2.
• Required Laboratory Values:ANC ≥1500 cells/mm3,platelet count ≥100,000 cells/mm3,hemoglobin ≥9 gm/L; Glucose >3.3 mmol/L, sodium >130 mmol/L, calcium >2.0 mmol/L.
• Plasma cortisol and ACTH levels that are not suggestive of adrenal insufficiency.
• Normal electrocardiogram (ECG) with QTc ≤450 msec for men and ≤470 msec for women.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first study drug administration.

Inclusion Criteria (Group B):

• Age ≥18 years at the time of informed consent.
• Male and female subjects with confirmed HER2+ (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/FISH+) adenocarcinoma of the breast with advanced disease that have had disease progression on at least 1 standard hormonal or chemotherapy regimen for advanced metastatic breast cancer. Advanced disease will be defined as metastatic disease or locally advanced disease that is surgically unresectable and considered unmanageable with standard therapies such as radiation or systemic therapies.
• Subjects must have progressed either within 3 months following last dose of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment or progressed following trastuzumab based therapies for metastatic disease.
• Measurable disease by RECIST or evaluable nonmeasurable disease
• ECOG ≤2.
• Required Laboratory Values: ANC ≥1500 cells/mm3,platelet count ≥100,000 cells/mm3,hemoglobin ≥9 gm/L; Glucose >3.3 mmol/L, sodium >130 mmol/L, calcium >2.0 mmol/L.
• Plasma cortisol and ACTH levels that are not suggestive of adrenal insufficiency.
• Normal ECG with QTc ≤450 msec for men and ≤470 msec for women.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first study drug administration.
