Inclusion Criteria: * \* Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent with histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic, histologically documented hormone receptor positive (ER and/or PR expression \>1%) and HER2- breast cancer by local testing, not amenable to surgical therapy will be enrolled in this study. * HER2 negativity is defined as either of the following by local laboratory assessment: IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC2+/in situ hybridisation (ISH/FISH) negative as per American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-College of American Pathologists Guideline (CAP) guideline82. * ER and/or PR positivity are defined as \>1% of cells expressing HR via IHC analysis as per ASCO-CAP guideline83. * The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the trial. * Postmenopausal, as defined by at least one of the following criteria: * Age ≥60 years; * Age \<60 years and cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause (in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression); and serum estradiol and FSH level within the laboratory's reference range for postmenopausal females; * Documented bilateral oophorectomy, * Medically confirmed ovarian failure OR Pre/perimenopausal, i.e., not meeting the criteria for being postmenopausal: Pre/perimenopausal women can be enrolled if amenable to be treated with the LHRH agonist. Patients must have commenced treatment with LHRH agonist at least 4 weeks prior to treatment start. * \* No more than one prior line of chemotherapy for recurrent locally advanced or metastatic disease. * Prior radiation therapy for metastatic disease is permitted. Subjects who were treated with radiation therapy may participate as long as at least 2 weeks have elapsed since the last dose of radiation therapy or have recovered from the effects of radiation before treatment start whichever is the latest. * Disease refractory to aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant or tamoxifen, defined as recurrence during or within 12 months after the end of adjuvant treatment or progression during or within 1 months after the end of treatment for advanced disease. Notes: Endocrine therapy do not have to be the last treatment prior to first treatment administration. Other prior anticancer endocrine therapy in combination with CDK 4/6 inhibitors or PI3K-pathway-targeted therapies (including PI3K, mTOR, PDK and AKT inhibitors) are also allowed. Patients who have received fulvestrant, exemestane and tamoxifen may be eligible * \* Availability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block, taken less than 12 months before the start of the treatment during metastatic disease, if not available, confirmation by the Medical monitor will be required to include the patient in the study. A study-specific pathology report should be associated with the sample (every effort should be done to obtain the sample after the previous therapeutic regimen for advanced disease). The tumor tissue should be of good quality based on total and viable tumor content and must be evaluated centrally for PAM50 analysis prior to enrollment. Patients whose tumor tissue is not evaluable for central testing are not eligible unless a biopsy from metastatic lesion is performed for this purpose. a) Acceptable samples include core needle biopsies for deep tumor tissue or excisional, incisional, punch, or forceps biopsies for cutaneous, subcutaneous, or mucosal lesions or biopsies from bone metastases. c) Fine needle aspiration, brushing, cell pellet from pleural effusion and lavage samples are not acceptable. * HER2-E subtype as per PAM50 analysis confirmed by the designated laboratory. * \* Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. Evaluation of ECOG is to be performed within 7 days prior to the date of enrollment. * \* Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks * \* Measurable disease or non-measurable (but evaluable), as defined by RECIST v1.1. (Note: Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if disease progression has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation). * Adequate hematologic and end-organ function * Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% measured by echocardiography (ECHO) or Multiple Gate Acquisition (MUGA) scan. Male participants: • A male participant must agree to use contraception as detailed in Appendix 3 of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least 120 days form the last doses of neratinib and refrain from donating sperm during this period. Female participants: * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see Appendix 3), not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: * Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Appendix 3 OR * A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 3 during the treatment period and for at least 120 days from the last dose of neratinib. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with any ERBB2-directed TKI (eg, lapatinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, neratinib, tucatinib) * Received prior therapy resulting in a cumulative epirubicin dose \>900 mg/m2 or cumulative doxorubicin dose \>450 mg/m2. If another anthracycline or more than one anthracycline has been used, the cumulative dose must not exceed the equivalent of 450 mg/m2 doxorubicin. * Active uncontrolled cardiac disease, including cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification of ≥2), unstable angina (symptomatic angina pectoris within the past 180 days that required the initiation of or increase in anti-anginal medication or other intervention), myocardial infarction within 12 months of enrollment, or ventricular arrhythmia (except for benign premature ventricular contractions). * Significant chronic gastrointestinal disorder with diarrhea as a major symptom (eg, Crohn's disease, malabsorption, or Grade ≥2 National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 \[CTCAE v.5.0\] diarrhea of any etiology at baseline). * A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to C1D1 (see Appendix 3). If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. * Presence of any acute toxic effects from prior anti-cancer therapy or major surgical procedures to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 Grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator´s discretion). Note: Placement of central venous access catheter(s) (e.g., port or similar) is not considered a major surgical procedure and is therefore permitted. * Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites (Note: patients with indwelling catheters, such as PleurX® are allowed). * Uncontrolled hypercalcemia (\>1.5 mmol/L \[\>6 mg/dL\] ionized calcium or serum calcium \[uncorrected for albumin\] \>3 mmol/L \[\>12 mg/dL\] or corrected serum calcium \>ULN) or clinically significant (symptomatic) hypercalcemia * \* Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ (e.g. breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded. * Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and on a chronic stable dose of ≤ 2 mg total daily of dexamethasone (or equivalent) during the last 14 days. * \* Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis. * \* Prior solid organ transplantation * Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy. * \* Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). * \* Has a known history of Hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or known active Hepatitis C virus (defined as HCV RNA \[qualitative\] is detected) infection. Note: no testing for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C is required unless mandated by local health authority. * Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator. * Unable or unwilling to swallow tablets. * Known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational product, required combination therapy, or loperamide. * Patients being treated with drugs recognized as being strong inhibitors or inducers of the isoenzyme CYP3A4/P-gp isoform of cytochrome P450: Ritonavir (antiretroviral), carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin (antiepileptics), St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) (herbal product), rifampicin, Rifabutin (antimycobacterial), Ketoconazole, Itroconazole, Voriconazole (antifungal), Telithromycin, Clarithromycin (antibiotic).
