Brief Summary: Patients are being asked to take part in this study because they have metastatic breast cancer that is triple negative does not express estrogen receptor ER progesterone receptor PR or HER2 This means that agents such as trastuzumab Herceptin and tamoxifen are not currently treatment options for their cancer Another option for treating the patients cancer at this point is with chemotherapy The patient should discuss this and other options with their doctor prior to entering this study

Laboratory studies have demonstrated that ER is actually present in some triple negative breast cancers but is silenced does not function properly because methyl and histone groups are attached to it and inactivate it Special drugs called demethylating inhibitors such as decitabine and histone deacetylase inhibitors such as LBH589 can remove these methyl and histone groups and reactivate ER This reactivated ER can then be targeted with agents like tamoxifen

The patient is being asked to join this clinical research study to find out if ER can be reactivated in their cancer using decitabine in combination with LBH589 If ER is reactivated in their cancer we will then determine if tamoxifen can decrease the growth of the cancer
