  1. Has expected survival of at least 4 months.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent or recent chemotherapy, immunotherapy or major surgery within 21 daysprior to the first dose.

  2. Radiotherapy within 14 days of the first dose of study treatment.

  3. Toxicity of prior therapy that has not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline (with theexception of any grade of alopecia and anemia not requiring transfusion support).

  4. Any toxicity to prior CPI that was grade 3 or higher unless it has been successfullytreated (e.g. hypothyroidism or hypopituitarism treated with replacement therapy), .

  5. Toxicity to prior CPI that has not resolved to grade 1 or less except for stableasymptomatic endocrinopathies.

  6. History of clinical hypersensitivity to the designated therapy as specified in theprotocol, including the proposed TPC, beef, or to any components used in thepreparation of SV- BR-1-GM.

  7. History of hypersensitivity to any of the therapies proposed for treatment in thisstudy.

  8. Serum creatinine OR Measured OR calculated Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) (GFR can alsobe used in place of creatinine or CrCl) >2.0 × ULN or <30 mL/min for participantswith creatinine levels >2.0 × institutional ULN.

  9. Absolute granulocyte count <1000; platelets <80,000; hemoglobin ≤ 7 g/L.

  10. Bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN unless conjugated bilirubin ≤ ULN; alkaline phosphatase >5xupper limit of normal (ULN); ALT/AST >3x ULN. For patients with hepatic metastases,ALT/AST >5x ULN is exclusionary.

  11. INR or PT or aPTT > 1.8 × ULN, unless the participant is receiving anticoagulanttherapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use ofanticoagulants.

  12. Receiving any medication listed in the prohibited medication section of theprotocol.

  13. Proteinuria >2+ on urinalysis

  14. A history or presence of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in theInvestigator's opinion, is clinically meaningful. Screening corrected QT interval (QTc) interval >480 milliseconds is excluded (corrected by Fridericia or Bazettformula). In the event that a single QTc is >480 milliseconds, the participant mayenroll if the average QTc for the 3 ECGs is <480 milliseconds.

  15. New York Heart Association stage 3 or 4 cardiac disease.

  16. A pericardial effusion of moderate severity or worse.

  17. Symptomatic pleural effusion or ascites. A participant who is clinically stablefollowing treatment for these conditions (including therapeutic thoraco- orparacentesis) is eligible.

  18. Any woman of childbearing potential (i.e., has had a menstrual cycle within the pastyear and has not been surgically sterilized), unless she agrees to take appropriateprecautions to avoid becoming pregnant during the study and has a negative serumpregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting treatment.

  19. Men must have been sterile or, if they were potentially fertile/reproductivelycompetent, should take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering a child for theduration of the study.

  20. Women who are pregnant or nursing.

  21. Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment, orhistory of other malignancy within 2 years of study entry with the exception ofcured basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer,prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or othernoninvasive or indolent malignancy, or cancers from which the participant has beendisease-free for > 1 year, after treatment with curative intent.

  22. Patients who have uncontrolled HIV or have clinical or laboratory featuresindicative of AIDS.

  23. Have a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroidtherapy (doses exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form ofimmunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.

  24. Have an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past year (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressivedrugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroidreplacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is allowed.

  25. Known active HAV, HBV, or HCV infection, as defined by elevated transaminases withthe following serology: positivity for HAV IgM antibody, anti-HCV, anti-HBc IgG orIgM, or HBsAg (in the absence of prior immunization).

  26. Active infections requiring systemic therapy within the past 14 days.

  27. Patients with severe psychiatric disease (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar, orborderline personality disorder) or other clinically progressive major medicalproblems, unless approved by the Investigator in consultation with the MedicalMonitor.

Study Description

This is a multicenter randomized, open label study to evaluate overall survival with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Checkpoint Inhibitor [Retifanlimab], versus Treatment of Patients'/Physicians' Choice (TPC) in advanced metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer (aMBC) patients with no approved alternative therapies available. A secondary objective will be to evaluate the activity of the Bria-IMT regimen alone in comparison with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with CPI.

Initial randomization will be 1:1:1 to the Bria-IMT regimen + CPI (combination therapy), TPC, and the Bria-IMT regimen alone (monotherapy). After the first 150 patients have enrolled in the study, the monotherapy arm will be discontinued and patients allowed to cross over to the combination therapy if needed. Randomization will continue 1:1 between the combination therapy vs TPC.

For the Bria regimen +/- CPI arms, treatment cycles occur every 3 weeks. TPC cycle details will be according to the site's SOC. In the absence of progressive disease or major safety issues, the patient will continue with therapy cycles, with imaging assessment every 6 weeks x2 then every 8 weeks thereafter.

The Bria-IMT regimen includes:

Day -2 or -3 Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 Day 0 SV-BR-1-GM given intradermally divided into 4 inoculations Day 1-3 CPI infusion plus interferon intra-dermally within each Bria-IMT inoculation site
