Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Moreover, the immune effects, the predictors of resistance and response to treatment, the effect of the chemotherapy on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication will be assessed and will help identify the subgroups that will mostly benefit from the treatment. The pharmacokinetics of the product and the anti-drug antibody (ADA) will be also evaluated.
A total of 99 participants are planned to be treated in the study. Participants will receive, every three weeks, a dose of U3-1402 equivalent to 5.6 mg/kg of body weight until progression or until unacceptable toxicity.
Tumor evaluation will be performed every six weeks by the mean of a computed tomography for the thorax, abdomen and pelvis (TAP CT-scan) or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain and/or bone CT scans will be also performed throughout the study for participants with brain and/or bone metastasis. A PET scan combined with contrast enhanced CT scan can replace all the above-mentioned imaging if performed at baseline considering that the same imaging technique should be used throughout the study.
The safety of the product will be assessed at each cycle, through complete clinical exams, biological tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), cardiac echographies (ECHOs) and through the collection of ongoing toxicities or adverse events.

U3-1402
All participants enrolled in the study will receive U3-1402 at a dose of 5.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks until progression or until unacceptable toxicity
U3-1402
U3-1402 is uniquely designed to target HER3-a receptor that contributes to treatment resistance and poor prognosis in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer patients. This drug is distinct from other interventions due to its composition as an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC): a monoclonal antibody against HER3 conjugated to a topoisomerase I inhibitor, which specifically targets HER3-overexpressing tumor cells. The drug is delivered via a cleavable linker that allows for controlled release of the chemotherapeutic agent within the cancer cells, minimizing systemic side effects.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria

* Participants may have received anthracyclines and taxanes as (neo) adjuvant treatment and must have received one line of chemotherapy for Advanced breast cancer (ABC), but not more than one line. Participants must have a clinically or radiologically documented evidence of tumor progression on or after cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK 4/ 6) inhibitor combined with endocrine therapy. Previous treatments with PI3K inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, AKT-inhibitors and poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP)-inhibitors are allowed
* Participants must have a tumor site easily accessible to biopsy (with exception of bone metastasis)
* Participants must have at least one radiologically measurable lesion (different from the biopsy site)
* Participants must have an ECOG PS equals to 0 or 1
* Participants must have a life expectancy of 12 weeks or more
* Participants must have adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function, based on local laboratory data within 14 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
* Female patients of reproductive/childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (serum test within 14 days or urine test within 72 hours of enrollment). A positive urine pregnancy test result must be confirmed by a serum test. Patients must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug.
The following contraception methods are considered highly effective:
1. Hormonal or nonhormonal intrauterine device (IUD)
2. Progestogen-only subdermal contraceptive implant
3. Bilateral tubal occlusion
4. Vasectomized partner
5. Complete sexual abstinence defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least 7 months for females after the last dose of study drug.
Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not an acceptable method of contraception. Penile/external condoms for male partners must be used in addition to the female patient's hormonal contraception for the duration treatment intervention and until 7 months following the last dose of trial intervention. Female patients must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of screening and throughout the study treatment period, and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration.
* A male participant capable of producing sperm is eligible to participate if he agrees to the following during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each trial intervention. The length of time required to continue contraception after last dose for each trial intervention is 4 months. Avoid donating sperm. Note: Preservation of sperm should be considered prior to enrollment/randomization in this trial. Use a penile/external condom when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a nonparticipant of childbearing potential, PLUS partner use of an additional contraceptive method (see below), as a condom may break or leak:
1. Progestogen-only contraceptive implant
2. Hormonal or nonhormonal IUD
3. Bilateral tubal occlusion (includes tubal ligation)
4. Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal, injectable)
5. Progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable)
6. Progesterone-only hormonal contraception where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action
7. Cervical cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide Contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the trial interventions are more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed. Note: If the participant is azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause, documented from the site personnel's review of the participant's medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview), no contraception is required.
Male participants must not freeze or donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for at least 4 months after the final study drug administration
* Participant must understand, sign, and date the written ICF prior to any protocol-specific procedures performed. Participant should be able and willing to comply with study visits and procedure as per protocol
* Participant must be affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of the same

* Evidence of any leptomeningeal disease
* Evidence of corneal disease
