Inclusion Criteria

Subject must meet all of the following applicable inclusion criteria to participate in this
study:

1. Able to understand and willing to provide written informed consent and HIPAA
authorization for release of personal health information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization
may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.

2. Male or female and age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.

3. ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2 (Stage 1), or 0-1 (Stage 2) within 14 days prior
to day 1 of treatment.

4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed hormone receptor negative tumor (estrogen
and progesterone) on pathology immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessment defined as <10%
staining and HER2-negative, non-overexpressing defined by an IHC 0 or 1+ or
fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) HER2:CEP17 ratio < 2.0 with an average HER2
gene copy number of <4 signals/nucleus, and:

Stage 1 (metastatic):

a. Measurable (by RECIST v1.1) or evaluable lesions

Stage 2 (non-metastatic, treatment naïve, with no prior excisional
biopsy/lumpectomy/LND staging):

1. Primary tumor size ≥ 2 cm by at least one radiographic or clinical measurement.
NOTE: this requirement does not apply to subjects with inflammatory TNBC.

2. Clinical stage at presentation: cT1c-cT4, cN0-cN3

5. Tumor tissue:

Stage 1:

Willing to provide tumor tissue for research purposes. Fresh biopsy of metastatic
lesion prior to day 1 of treatment preferred if feasible. If fresh biopsy of
metastatic lesion is not feasible, fresh biopsy can be obtained from the primary tumor
site (i.e. breast). Tumor tissue from bone metastases is not acceptable. If fresh
biopsy from metastatic tumor or primary tumor site is not possible, archival tumor
tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin embedded [FFPE] or tumor block) may be used as long as
it is from within 12 months of study entry. NOTE: If tissue is not available within
required timeframe (i.e., either fresh or archival) subject will still be eligible for
trial.

Stage 2:

Willing to undergo fresh biopsy of the primary tumor prior to day 1 of treatment for
research purposes (breast is preferred; lymph node is acceptable). If not clinically
feasible, then provide archived tumor tissue (FFPE or tumor block) of the primary
tumor within 12 months of study entry. If archived tissue will be submitted rather
than fresh biopsy, the archived tissue must be assessed and documented by pathology to
ensure adequate tumor is present for correlative analysis. NOTE: For subjects who do
not have archival tumor tissue available within required timeframe or if archival
tissue insufficient, a pre-treatment core biopsy of the primary breast tumor must be
obtained. If subjects have inflammatory breast cancer and a core biopsy is not
possible, consideration can be given to obtain a skin punch biopsy.

6. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in the table below; all screening labs
to be obtained within 14 days prior to day 1 of treatment.

- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): greater than or equal to 1,000/µL

- Platelet Count greater than or equal to 100,000/µL without platelet transfusion
within 4 weeks of day 1 of treatment

- Hemoglobin (Hgb): greater than or equal to 9 g/dL without red blood cell
transfusion within 4 weeks of day 1 of treatment

- Serum creatinine (SCr): less than or equal to 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

7. For subjects anticipated to receive anthracyclines, adequate cardiac function as
defined by ≥50% Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) by ECHO or MUGA within 28
days prior to day 1 of treatment.

8. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test
within 7 days prior to day 1 of treatment and documented. NOTE: Females are considered
of childbearing potential unless they are surgically sterile (have undergone a
hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or are
postmenopausal (>45 years of age and at least 12 consecutive months with no menses
without an alternative medical cause).

9. FCBP must be willing to use a highly effective contraceptive method (i.e., highly
effective achieves a failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and
correctly) or a combination method from the time of informed consent until 30 days
after treatment discontinuation. Contraceptive methods with low user dependency are
preferable but not required.

Acceptable methods of contraception (highly effective) are:

Single method (one of the following is acceptable):

- Non-hormonal Intrauterine device (IUD)

- Vasectomy of a female subject's partner

- Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as
refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk
associated with the study treatments.

Combination method (requires use of two of the following):

- Diaphragm with spermicide (Cannot be used in conjunction with cervical
cap/spermicide)

- Cervical cap with spermicide (nulliparous women only)

- Contraceptive sponge with spermicide (nulliparous women only)

- Male condom or female condom (cannot be used together) with spermicide

10. Male subjects with female partners who are of child-bearing potential, should use a
highly effective method of contraception during niraparib therapy and for 90 days
after receiving the last dose of niraparib.

11. Subjects must agree to not donate blood for 90 days after receiving the last dose of
niraparib.

12. Female subjects must agree to not breastfeed during the study or for 30 days after the
last dose of study treatment and male subjects must not donate sperm during niraparib
therapy and for 90 days after receiving the last dose of niraparib.

13. As determined by the enrolling physician, ability of the subject to understand and
comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study.

14. Ability to swallow oral medications.

Stage 1 Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in Stage 1 of the study:

1. Subject has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis. Note: Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate if
there is no evidence of disease progression for at least 4 weeks after CNS-directed
treatment as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT) during
the screening period, are asymptomatic, have no requirement for steroids, no
requirement for anticonvulsants, and stable CNS radiographic study showing no
significant vasogenic edema ≥ 4 weeks since completion of radiation and ≥ 1 week since
discontinuation of steroids. Carcinomatous meningitis precludes a subject from study
participation regardless of clinical stability.
