Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- 1. Histologically confirmed HER2+ breast carcinoma, with HER2+ defined by in situ
hybridization (ISH) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or
immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2. Have received previous treatment with trastuzumab and a
taxane in the metastatic setting or have recurred within 6 months of receiving a
taxane in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting, or have a contraindication for their
use. Prior trastuzumab deruxtecan, capecitabine or T-DM1 is allowed but not required.
Prior tucatinib therapy is allowed.

3. Have progression of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after
last systemic therapy (as confirmed by site investigator), or be intolerant of last
systemic therapy 4. Have measurable or non-measurable disease assessable by RECIST 1.1
5. Be at least 18 years of age at time of consent. 6. Have Eastern Cooperative
Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0, 1 or 2 7. Have a life expectancy of at
least 6 months, in the opinion of the site investigator.

8. Have adequate hepatic function as defined by the following:

1. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN), except for patients with
known Gilbert's disease, who may enroll if the conjugated bilirubin is ≤1.5 X ULN

2. Transaminases [aspartate aminotransferase/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
(AST/SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
(ALT/SGPT)] ≤ 2.5 X ULN (≤ 5 X ULN if liver metastases are present) 9. Have
adequate baseline hematologic parameters as defined by:

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 103/µL

2. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 103/µL; patients with stable platelet count from 75- 100 x
103/µL may be included with approval from medical monitor,

3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL

4. In patients transfused before study entry, transfusion must be ≥ 14 days prior to
start of therapy to establish adequate hematologic parameters independent from
transfusion support, 10. Have creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min as calculated per
institutional guidelines or, in patients ≤ 45 kg in weight, a serum creatinine
within institutional normal limits, 11. International normalized ratio (INR) and
activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 X ULN unless on medication
known to alter INR and aPTT. (Note: Warfarin and other coumarin derivatives are
prohibited.) 12. Have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as assessed
by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) documented
within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment.

13. If female of childbearing potential, must have a negative result of serum or
urine pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to first dose of study
treatment. A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile,
following menarche and until becoming post- menopausal unless permanently
sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral
salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as
no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.

NOTE: Postmenopausal patients with known β-HCG secreting tumors may be eligible
when β-HCG-based urine or serum pregnancy tests yield false positive if they meet
the definition of postmenopausal state and have a negative uterine ultrasound 14.
Women of childbearing potential (as defined above) and men with partners of
childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective birth control method,
i.e., methods that achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used
consistently and correctly. Such methods include: combined (estrogen and
progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of
ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal); progestogen- only hormonal
contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, or
implantable); intrauterine device; intrauterine hormone-releasing system;
bilateral tubal occlusion/ligation; vasectomized partner; or sexual abstinence.
Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must use barrier
contraception. All study patients should practice effective contraception, as
described above, starting from the signing of informed consent until 7 months
after the last dose of study medication or investigational medicinal product.

15. Patient must provide signed informed consent per a consent document that has
been approved by an institutional review board or independent ethics committee
(IRB/IEC) prior to initiation of any study-related tests or procedures that are
not part of standard-of-care for the patient's disease.

16. Patients must be willing and able to comply with study procedures.

CNS Inclusion - Based on screening contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), patients must have one of the following:

discussion with and approval from the medical monitor is required prior to
enrollment,

3. Previously treated brain metastases

2. Patients treated with CNS local therapy for newly identified lesions found on
contrast brain MRI performed during screening for this study may be eligible to
enroll if all of the following criteria are met:

a total daily dose of > 2 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent). However, patients on a
chronic stable may be eligible with discussion and approval by the medical monitor.

3. Any brain lesion thought to require immediate local therapy, including (but not
limited to) a lesion in an anatomic site where increase in size or possible
treatment-related edema may pose risk to patient (e.g., brain stem lesions). Patients
who undergo local treatment for such lesions identified by screening contrast brain
MRI may still be eligible for the study based on criteria described under CNS
inclusion criteria 19b.

4. Have poorly controlled (> 1/week) generalized or complex partial seizures, or manifest
neurologic progression due to brain metastases notwithstanding CNS-directed therapy
