E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Signed informed consent form 2. Age 18 years or older 3. Patients with histologically or cytological confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast and with confirmed locally recurrent or metastatic disease 4. Patients with hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative or triple negative primary tumor. 5. Previous chemotherapies (neoadjuvant, adjuvant or in the metastatic setting) must have included a taxane and an anthracycline unless anthracycline therapy is not indicated or not in use. 6. Maximum of three (3) prior chemotherapies in the metastatic setting in addition to any number of prior lines of endocrine therapy 7. Measurable disease by RECIST v 1.1 criteria 8. Performance status of ECOG ≤ 1 9. Ixabepilone DRP - score of >33% 10. Adequate conditions as evidenced by the following clinical laboratory values: a. Absolute neutrophils count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L b. Hemoglobin > 10 g/dL (6.2 mmol/L) c. Platelets ≥ 100 x 109 /L d. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN e. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.0 ULN f. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN g. Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤5x ULN if documented liver/bone metastases. h. Blood urea within normal limits 11. Negative pregnancy test at baseline 12. Women of childbearing age and potential must be willing to use effective contraception during the study and at least until 7 months after last dose of study drug. Male patients or male patients who have female partners of childbearing age and potential must be willing to use effective contraception during the study and at least until 4 months after last dose of study drug. Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. HER2 positive tumor 2. Concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, or other investigational drug except non-disease related conditions (e.g. insulin for diabetes) during study period 3. Patients with intracranial disease 4. Other malignancies with exception of curative treated non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ within 5 years prior to entering the study 5. Any active infection requiring parenteral or oral antibiotic treatment. 6. Patients with grade 2, in case of diabetes grade 1 or greater neuropathy 7. Clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease: a. Stroke within ≤ 6 months prior to day 1 b. Transient ischemic attach (TIA) within ≤ 6 months prior to day 1 c. Myocardial infarction within ≤ 6 months prior to day 1 d. Unstable angina e. New York Hart Association (NYHA) Class II or greater congestive heart failure (CHF) f. Serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication 8.

These therapies should be discontinued 72 hours prior to initiation of study drug therapy. Similarly, patients must not continue treatment with strong inducers of CYP3A4 e.g.: phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, dexamethasone, and phenobarbital. (20 mg dexamethasone can be used for pre-treatment if required). These therapies should be discontinued 72 hours prior to initiation of study drug therapy 13. Positive HIV and hepatitis B and C status, assessed from medical records only
