Purpose

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, Phase 2/3 study in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for locally recurrent or metastatic disease.

Detailed Description

      The study will consist of 2 parts:

        -  Part 1 is an open-label, multicenter, randomized Phase 2 exploratory study that will
           investigate the clinical activity of the combination of eryaspase and
           gemcitabine/carboplatin in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic TNBC who have
           not received prior systemic therapy for locally recurrent or metastatic disease. Data
           analysis of Part 1 will inform choices for the final design and patient population in
           Part 2 (Phase 3 study).

        -  Part 2 will be a randomized Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of the
           combination of eryaspase and gemcitabine/carboplatin in TNBC patients.

      Part 1 is the focus of the current trial.

      Patients who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio
      to one of the following treatment arms:

        -  Arm A (experimental arm): eryaspase 100 U/Kg on Days 1 and 8 of combination chemotherapy
           with gemcitabine/carboplatin (G/C), or

        -  Arm B (control arm): gemcitabine/carboplatin combination.

      Treatment will continue until objective disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the
      patient's withdrawal of consent.

      A survival follow-up period will include the collection of survival, progression of disease
      if applicable, subsequent anti-cancer therapy every 12 weeks.

             the following receptors in the primary and/or metastatic tumor tissue:

               -  HER2 protein over-expression and/or gene amplification, defined as:

               -  Estrogen receptor (ER), defined as <1% staining by IHC (2).

          8. Life expectancy of >12 weeks according to the Investigator's clinical judgment.

          9. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and
             an additional pregnancy test prior to first dose. Females of childbearing potential
             must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during treatment and for
             at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.

         10. Adequate laboratory parameters at baseline (obtained <14 days prior to randomization)

         11. Patients must be able to understand and comply with the conditions of the protocol and
             must have read and understood the consent form and provided written informed consent.
