Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1) Subjects who are ≥ 19 years of age on the date of written informed consent.\n- 10) Subjects who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form\n- 2) Subjects with confirmation of primary, recurrent or metastatic HER2 negative breast cancer based on histopathology examination (tumor characteristics should be confirmed by histological or cytological evaluation). However, in case of a metastasis or recurrence, it is not required to be verified again by histopathology, i.e it is possible to register with imaging alone. (1) Subjects are eligible for the study regardless of hormone receptor status (ER/PR positive or negative). (2) ER/PR(+) is defined as cells expressing hormone receptors >1% in immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of collected samples.\n- 3) HER2-negative from tumor sample (primary or metastatic) is confirmed with one of the followings as NCCN guideline 20197 (HER2 test should be performed using samples of metastatic site, if metastasis is confirmed and samples can be collected from the metastatic lesions.) (1) HER2 negative by validated immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay: - IHC 0, 1+ - When IHC 2+, must reflex test with ISH (if same specimen), or order new test with IHC or dual probe in situ hybridization (ISH) (if new specimen available) (2) HER2 negative by validated dual-probe ISH assay: - HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0 and average HER2 copy number < 4.0 signals/cell (3) HER2 negative by concurrent IHC and ISH results: - HER2/CEP17 ratio ≥ 2.0 and average HER2 copy number < 4.0 signals/cell and concurrent IHC 0-1+ or 2+ - HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0 and average HER2 copy number ≥ 6.0 signals/cell and concurrent IHC 0-1+ - HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0 and average HER2 copy number ≥ 4.0 and <6.0 signals/cell and concurrent IHC 0-1+ or 2+\n- 4) Subjects with life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks\n- 5) Subjects with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1\n- 6) Subjects with measurable or evaluable lesions identified by RECIST version 1.1. (However, for phase II study, only subjects with measurable lesions can be enrolled.)\n- 7) Subjects with confirmed adequate hematologic, renal and liver function as follows: (1) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/μL (2) Platelet ≥ 100,000/μL (3) Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (4) Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 X ULN (but, subjects with CrCl or eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min may participate) (5) Serum calcium level ≤ 12 mg/dL (6) Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN (except for elevated total bilirubin due to Gilbert’s Syndrome) (7) Liver function tests: - If there is no evidence of liver metastases: ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN - If liver metastases are documented: ALT and AST ≤ 5 x ULN\n- 8) If subjects with central nervous system metastasis who should be stable for more than 4 weeks prior to randomization (1) If subjects have a history of steroid administration, such patient can participate if he/she have discontinued steroid, or reduce or maintain dexamethasone administration of up to 4mg per day (or equivalent dosage) for more than 4 weeks prior to randomization date. (2) Brain-imaging should be used to confirm that there are no new lesions and if subjects have symptoms of CNS metastasis, the investigator should use brainimaging to confirm such case, at the investigator’s discretion.\n- 9) Subjects who understand and are willing to comply with the protocol at the judgment of the investigator"}

However, the subjects should be allowed to participate if: (1) It has been at least 5 years and they are disease-free since completion of tumor treatment\n- 14) Subjects who are expected to newly start prophylactic use of bisphosphonate or RANKL inhibitor for bone metastasis during clinical study, at the discretion of investigator. (However, subjects on the drug for bone metastasis or osteoporosis just before the IP administration can participate and are permitted for concomitant administration during the study. But in that case, the same Dose and Usage should be maintained during the clinical trial period).\n- 15) Subjects determined inappropriate to orally administer the IP at the time of study participation based on the investigator's judgment (1) Clinically significant or uncontrolled congenital or acquired gastrointestinal disease (2) Subjects with confirmed diseases that may interfere with the IP's administration, transfer to digestive tract, or absorption including ileus and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)\n- 2) Subjects who previously received drugs of taxane class (subjects who administer the last dose of drug of taxane class ≥ 1 year ago as from the randomization day and have recurrence confirmed can be enrolled)\n- 3) Subjects receiving chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic HER2 negative breast cancer before screening for the study. However, the following subjects should be allowed to participate: (1) Subjects who had the last administration of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy from randomization for prior breast cancer that is not recurrent or metastatic, and its toxic symptoms have disappeared. (2) ER/PR(+) subjects can be enrolled regardless of lines of endocrine therapy. (Alone or with CDK4/6 inhibitors, or mTOR inhibitors.)"}
