    What is the purpose of this study?

    This is an open-label, phase I/II double arm study of the SV-BR-1-GM regimen in combination with retifanlimab in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer who have failed standard therapy. Patients will receive the SV-BR-1-GM regimen with combination immunotherapy. There will be an initial evaluation of the combination of the SV-BR-1-GM regimen with retifanlimab every 3 weeks. If this is found to be safe and well tolerated in a cohort of at least 12 patients (dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in less than 30% of the patients evaluated), then an expansion cohort of up to 24 patients will be treated with that combination. These will be randomized to two regimens differing in the timing of checkpoint inhibitor administration.

    Eligibility

    1. Have histological confirmation of breast cancer with recurrent and/or metastatic lesions, as per the investigational site, and have failed prior therapy.

    2. Patients with persistent disease and local recurrence must not be amenable to local treatment.

    3. For patients with metastatic disease:

      1. Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) positive and estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumors: must be refractory to hormonal therapy (e.g., aromatase inhibitor, tamoxifen or fluvestrant) and previously treated with at least 2 regimens including at least two anti-HER2 agents (e.g., trastuzumab and pertuzumab).
      2. HER2 negative and either ER or PR positive tumors: must be refractory to hormonal therapy (e.g. aromatase inhibitor, tamoxifen or fluvestrant) and previously treated with at least 2 chemotherapy containing regimens. (e.g. CDK4/6 inhibitor, PIK3CA inhibitor, etc)
      3. HER2 positive and ER and PR negative tumors: must have failed at least 2 regimens including at least two anti-HER2 agents (e.g., trastuzumab and pertuzumab).
      4. Triple Negative tumors: Must have exhausted other available therapies including prior treatment with a taxane and carboplatin.

      Patients with new or progressive breast cancer metastatic to the brain will be eligible provided:

      1. The brain metastases must be clinically stable (without evidence of progressive disease by imaging) for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose
      2. Must have received prior radiation therapy for brain metastases or be ineligible for radiation therapy
      3. There is no need for steroids and patients have not had steroids for at least 2 weeks
      4. No individual tumor size is >50 mm
      5. Tumor is not impinging on Middle Cerebral Artery/speech-motor strip
      6. If surgically debulked, must be healed from surgery and at least 3 weeks have elapsed since general anesthesia
      7. Patients consent to MRI studies at 3-4 week intervals until evidence of tumor regression on at least 2 imaging studies. In no case, will the interval between MRI studies be longer than 3 months. MRI studies may be introduced at any time should the patients develop new or clearly worsening symptoms and/or introduction of steroids
    4. Be 18 years of age or older and female

    5. Have expected survival of at least 4 months

    6. Have adequate performance status (ECOG 0-1) Patients with ECOG of 2 may be admitted only with Sponsor approval.

    7. Have provided written informed consent
