Women's Triple-Negative First-Line Study: A Phase II Trial of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in Patients With Localized Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) With Tumors Predicted Insensitive to Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT), Including a Lead-in Cohort to Establish Activity in Patients With Metastatic TNBC

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if mirvetuximab soravtansine can help to
control either newly diagnosed or metastatic (has spread) triple-negative breast cancer
(TNBC).

Mirvetuximab soravtansine is designed to stop cell growth by blocking certain proteins in the
cancer cells related to the mineral folate. This is believed to cause the cancer cells to
die.

There are 2 cohorts in this study. If participant has metastatic TNBC, participant will be in
Cohort A. If participant has newly diagnosed TNBC, participant will be in Cohort B.

Study Drug Administration:

On Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, participant will receive mirvetuximab soravtansine by vein
over about 2-3 hours. If participant cannot tolerate the study drug, participant's dose may
be lowered or stopped.

Length of Study:

If participant is in Cohort A, participant may receive mirvetuximab soravtansine for as long
as the study doctor thinks it is in participant's best interest. If participant is in Cohort
B, participant may receive mirvetuximab soravtansine for up to 4 cycles. After 4 cycles,
participant will have surgery as part of participant's standard care.

Participant will no longer be able to receive the study drug if the disease gets worse, if
intolerable side effects occur, or if participant is unable to follow study directions.

Study Visits:

On Day 1 of each cycle:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

- If participant can become pregnant, part of the above routine blood sample or urine will
be collected for a pregnancy test.

Participant will come back to the clinic on Day 2 of Cycles 1-3. At these visits,
participant's vital signs will be collected and the study doctor or study staff will check on
participant's health.

On Days 8 and 15 of Cycles 1-3, blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

During even-numbered cycles (Cycles 2, 4, 6, and so on):

- Participant will have imaging scans. The study doctor will tell participant what type of
scans participant will have.

- If the doctor thinks it is needed, participant will have an eye exam.

End-of-Treatment Visit:

As soon as possible after participant's last cycle of study drug:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests

- If the doctor thinks it is needed, participant will have an eye exam.

- Participant will have imaging scans.

- If participant is in Cohort B, participant will have a core tumor biopsy to check the
status of the disease.

If participant is in Cohort B, participant will have surgery as part of participant's
standard treatment.

Follow-Up:

Within 30 days after participant's last dose of study drug:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

- If participant did not have them performed at the end-of-treatment visit, participant
will have imaging scans.

- If participant can become pregnant, part of the above routine blood sample or urine will
be collected for a pregnancy test.

Participant will continue to have imaging scans every 12 weeks for up to 1 year after
participant's first dose of study drug. If the disease gets worse or participant starts a new
anti-cancer therapy, these scans will stop.

This is an investigational study. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is not FDA approved or
commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only.

The study doctor can explain more and answer questions for how the study drug is designed to
work.

Up to 57 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age =/> 18 years.

2. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.

3. Confirmed invasive triple-negative breast cancer defined as ER<10%; PR<10% by IHC and
HER2 0-1+ by IHC or 2+, FISH < 2, gene copy number < 4.

4. (For Cohort A) - Archived tissue available at pre-screening to confirm FR alpha+
breast cancer.

5. (For Cohort A) Archived tissue available pre-screening to confirm FR alpha+ breast
cancer. (For Cohort B) Confirmed FRalpha+ breast cancer defined as high FRalpha
expression: =/>75% of cells having =/>1+ expression, or moderate FRalpha expression:
25%-74% of cells with =/>1+ expression.

6. (For Cohort A) Measurable disease per RECIST. (For cohort B) Clinical or radiologic
primary tumor size of at least 1.5cm prior to enrollment onto protocol 2014-0185
(ARTEMIS). Primary tumor of at least 1.0 cm or evidence of continued lymphnode
involement by imaging (ultrasound or MRI) after Adriamycin-based neoadjuvant therapy.

7. (For cohort B): primary tumor sample collected before NACT started (on ARTEMIS) and
underwent molecular testing for integral biomarkers including immunohistochemical
assessment of FRalpha.

8. (For cohort A): no limit on prior therapies for metastatic disease. (Relapse of
disease within 6 months of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is considered 1 line
of therapy for metastatic disease). (For cohort B): received at least one dose of an
anthracycline-based NACT. Patients are eligible if therapy was discontinued due to
disease progression or therapy intolerance. Patients with disease progression on
anthracycline-based therapy should be evaluated by the surgical team. If the patient
is deemed inoperable at the time of evaluation, the patient may continue to undergo
protocol therapy with a goal of reduction in tumor size to become operable. If the
patient is deemed at high risk of becoming inoperable by the surgical team based upon
tumor size or location, the patient will be considered ineligible for study and will
be recommended to go to surgery.

9. (For cohort B): Primary tumor size of at least 1.0 cm by imaging (ultrasound or MRI)
or evidence of continued lymph node involovement by imaging (ultrasound or MRI) after
Adriamycin-based neoadjuvant therapy.

10. (For cohort B): baseline MUGA or echocardiogram showing LVEF =/> 50% within 6 weeks
prior to initiation of NACT.

metastases), • INR =/<2; • Serum creatinine =/<1.5x ULN; • Serum albumin >2.

13. Signed informed consent obtained prior to any screening procedures.

14. (For cohort A only): Time from prior therapy: a. Systemic anti-neoplastic therapy:

clinical profile, or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks prior to study entry. In the case
of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been
confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of childbearing
