Disease-Specific Inclusion Criteria
- Locally assessed, histologically documented TNBC or HR+/HER2- adenocarcinoma of the breast that is locally advanced or metastatic and is not amenable to resection with curative intent (receptor status should be assessed in most recent biopsy, i.e. recurrent or metastatic tissue where applicable and if safely accessible per ASCO/CAP guidance)
- Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
- Eligible for taxane monotherapy
- HR+/HER2– breast cancer that is not considered appropriate for endocrine-based therapy and that meets one of the following inclusion criteria:
o Patient has recurrent disease (locoregional or metastatic) during adjuvant endocrine therapy (i.e. =5 years of being on therapy)
o If patient has de novo metastatic disease, patient has progressive disease within 6 months of being on first-line endocrine treatment of metastatic disease.
- Submission of a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor (FFPE) tissue block or a minimum of 20 freshly cut unstained, serial tumor slides from the most recently collected tumor tissue for central molecular analysis. Cytologic or FNA samples are not acceptable. Tumor tissue from bone metastases that is subject to decalcification is not acceptable.
- If the patient already has PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alteration results available from the FMI commercial tissue-based NGS assay known as FoundationONE CDx TM, then reduced tissue requirements may be required (upon approval by the Medical Monitor)
o This tumor tissue sample is required to be submitted as described above for all patients, i.e., if local assessment of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alteration status or central ctDNA is used to confirm biomarker eligibility tumor tissue is still required to assess alteration status centrally
- Confirmation of biomarker eligibility, i.e., valid results from either central testing or local testing (at a CLIA or equivalently accredited laboratory) of tumor tissue or blood demonstrating PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered status
