New hope for Hard-to-Treat breast cancer: experimental drug CLR 125 enters human testing

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Unequivocal TNBC histology \[ER and PR less than 10% each and HER-2 negative\]. * Patients that have progressed after at least one prior standard therapeutic regimen given alone or in combination (including, but not limited, to: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, trastuzumab deruxtecan). * Patients who have received neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy must be at least one year from that treatment regimen. * Patient is ≥ 18 years of age. * ECOG performance status of 0 to 2. * Life expectancy ≥ 6 months. * Patient must meet the following laboratory criteria: * Platelets ≥ 75,000/uL \[75 x 10\^9/L\] * White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3000/uL * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/uL * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL * Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (as reported by the local lab) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) * Bilirubin \< 1.5 × ULN * At least one measurable lesion, as defined by RECIST v1.1, with longest diameter at baseline ≥ 10 mm (excluding lymph nodes, for which the short diameter must be ≥ 15 mm). * Patients with known brain metastases must have completed any radiotherapy or systemic treatments for brain metastases prior to enrollment; by investigator assessment be considered stable with no new signs or symptoms for at least 1 month, and on a stable dose of steroids (unchanged for three weeks prior to registration or on a steroid tapering regimen). * Patients must express willingness and ability to comply with scheduled study visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. * Patient or their legally authorized representative must have the ability to understand and provide signed informed written consent before the initiation of any study-related procedures. * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours of dosing. * Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for 12 months following administration of the study drug. Highly effective methods of contraception include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraceptives associated with inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, vasectomized partner, or sexual abstinence. Women who have undergone hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation, or are post-menopausal (no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause) are considered to be of non-childbearing potential. * Men who are able to father a child must agree to use a condom during the study and for 12 months following administration of the study drug. Exclusion Criteria: * Antitumor systemic therapy or investigational therapy, within three-half-lives of the agent preceding study drug administration. NOTE: Patients participating in non-interventional clinical trials (i.e., non-drug) are allowed to participate in this trial. * Focal radiation (including palliative radiation) to non-target lesions should be completed at least 2 weeks prior to dosing. * For patients receiving CLR 125 after participation in the dosimetry phase, CLR 131 washout is not required prior to dosing with CLR 125. * Prior targeted radiotherapy. * Prior external beam radiation therapy resulting in greater than 20% of total bone marrow receiving greater than 20 Gy. For estimation purposes, the following bone marrow percentages can be used: * Vertebral bodies: Cervical 0.5%, thoracic 1%, lumbar 2% per vertebral body * Hemipelvis (ilium, acetabulum, ischium): 13% per side * Sacrum: 10% * Skull: 12% * Scapula: 5% per side * Ribs: 4% per side * Femur: 3% per side * Ongoing Grade 2 or greater toxicities due to previous therapies, excluding alopecia, that in the opinion of investigator might be exacerbated by study treatment. * Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy other than TNBC with the following exceptions, which must be fully treated with no evidence of disease for at least 2 years: non-melanoma skin cancers only requiring topical treatment or surgical excision; melanoma in situ; treated cervical carcinoma in situ; successfully treated prostate cancer. * Any other concomitant serious illness or organ system dysfunction (including cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction) that in the opinion of the Investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the test drug. * Known history of human immunodeficiency virus or uncontrolled, serious, active infection. * Pregnancy or breast-feeding
