Detailed Description

This is a Multicenter, Open-label, Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Niraparib plus Aromatase Inhibitors for Hormone Receptor (HR)-positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative Metastatic Breast Cancers with either Germline BRCA-mutated or Germinal BRCA-wild-type and Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD).

The main objetive is to assess the efficacy -as determined by the clinical benefit rate (CBR)- of niraparib in combination with AIs in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer patients harboring either gBRCAms or gBRCAwt and HRD.

Upon meeting all selection criteria, patients enrolled in the study will receive the combination of niraparib orally (according to baseline criteria described in Table 4), once daily, flat- fixed, continuously in 28-day cycles and AI that must be identical to the last AI-containing regimen.

• Stage I: N=6 patients in the cohort A;
• Stage II: N=8 patients in the cohort A; N=9 patients in the exploratory cohort B

The total duration of the study period is 36 months follow until 5 years of follow up.

• 9. [Cohort A]: Patients with documented germinal mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious (known or predicted to be detrimental/lead to loss of function). Patients with germinal mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes (gBRCAms) that are considered to be nondetrimental (e.g., "Variants of uncertain clinical significance" or "Variant of unknown significance" or "Variant, favor polymorphism" or "benign polymorphism," etc.) will not be eligible for the study. Germinal BRCA1/2 results preceding the ICF signature will be accepted, as long as the results are documented and captured in the medical record during the pre-screening period.

HRD status will be centrally confirmed both on the most recent tumor tissue since last progression (from either metastasis or primary tumor) and blood samples. Patients with a Myriad myChoice® CDx PLUS score of ≥ 25 or greater will be considered to have an abnormal HRR pathway and defined as HRD.
• 11. [Exploratory cohort B]: Willingness and ability to provide additional six formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue slides from the most recent tumor tissue since last progression (from either metastasis or primary tumor) to centrally perform the assay. It is strongly recommended obtaining six consecutive sections from the same tissue block used for the determination of HRD status.
• 12. At least one and up to two prior lines of endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitors [AIs] or fulvestrant) for treatment of locally recurrent and/or metastatic disease (except for patients progressing in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting).
• 13. Confirmed disease progression while in the last AI-containing regimen (not necessarily in the treatment line immediately prior to study entry) with secondary endocrine resistance criteria.
• 14. Patients may have progressed on no more than one chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting.
• 15. The following will not be counted as a prior line of cytotoxic chemotherapy:

• Prior hormonal therapy and non-hormonal targeted therapy.
• Targeted and biologic therapies.
• The patient can receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates or denosumab for bone metastases, before and during the study as long as this was started at least 5 days prior to study treatment.
• 16. Prior carboplatin- or other platinum compound-based therapy is allowed if have been administered in one of the following settings:

• Disease-free interval > 12 months from date of completion of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment.

Willingness and ability to provide the most recent tumor biopsy since last progression from either metastatic or primary tissues both at the time of the inclusion and at disease progression or study termination in order to perform exploratory studies. If not feasible, patient eligibility should be evaluated by a Sponsor's qualified designee.
• 19. Patients must agree to provide blood samples at the time of study inclusion, every three cycles of treatment, and upon disease progression or study termination in order to perform exploratory studies.
• 20. Adequate hematologic and organ function within 28 days before the first study treatment on Cycle 1 Day 1.
• 21. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to study treatment and must agree to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from screening through 6 months after the last dose of study treatment, or patients of non-childbearing potential, where nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):
