• Impaired cardiac function, including any one of the following:
• LVEF < 50% as determined by ECHO or MUGA
• Complete left bundle branch block or obligate use of a cardiac pacemaker or congenital long QT syndrome or history or presence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias or clinically significant resting bradycardia (<50 beats per minute) or QTc > 450 msec on screening ECG or right bundle branch block and left anterior hemiblock (bifasicular block)
• Presence of unstable atrial fibrillation (ventricular response rate >100 bpm). Patients with stable atrial fibrillation are allowed in the study provided they do not meet the other cardiac exclusion criteria
• Previous history angina pectoris or acute MI within 6 months
• New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV
• Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, cardiac artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen)
• Acute or chronic liver or renal disease
• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, active or uncontrolled infection, chronic obstructive or chronic restrictive pulmonary disease including dyspnoea at rest from any cause) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
• Concomitant use of drugs with a risk of causing torsades de pointes
• Concomitant use of CYP3A4/5 inhibitors
• Active bleeding diathesis or on any treatment with therapeutic doses of sodium warfarin or any other anti-vitamin K drug (INR value above 1.5). Low doses of sodium warfarin (e.g., = 2 mg/day), or low doses of any other anti-vitamin K drug, for line patency is allowable

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Primary endpoints: DLT during dose escalation, overall anti-tumor response rate at the MTDs during dose expansion

Main Objective: • During dose escalation, to determine the MTD of LBH589 that can be combined with trastuzumab, in patients with HER2-positive MBC whose disease has progressed on or after trastuzumab:
Arm 1 - Determine the MTD of LBH589 i.v. given on D1, D8 as part of a 21 day cycle, combined with standard doses of trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive MBC
Arm 2 - Determine the MTD of oral LBH589 given twice weekly (e.g. Monday/Thursday) for two consecutive weeks as part of a 21 day cycle, combined with standard doses of trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive MBC
• During expansion of the MTD, to preliminarily explore the anti-tumor activity of i.v. and oral LBH at their respective MTDs when combined with trastuzumab using RECIST criteria

Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of i.v. / oral LBH589 when given in combination with trastuzumab
• To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of i.v. / oral LBH589 when given in combination with trastuzumab using RECIST criteria
• To characterize the PK profile of i.v. and oral LBH589 after single and multiple doses when given in combination with trastuzumab (dose escalation only)
• To monitor the QTc interval in patients receiving i.v. and oral LBH589 when combined with trastuzumab
• To characterize potential biological factors, such as serum HER2 ECD, circulating tumor cells and apoptosis markers, that could correlate with efficacy and response (additional exploratory and/or optional biomarkers may be evaluated.) See Biomarker section
• At the end of dose expansion phase, a risk-benefit analysis will be performed in the population evaluable for efficacy, to assess both risk (safety) and benefit (efficacy) for both the oral and iv arms of LBH589
