Summary: This study has as goal to evaluate the use of abemaciclib and bicalutamide in androgen receptor positive metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

Detailed description: This study is a phase II single arm clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. In this study, the investigators will include patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic androgen receptor positive triple negative breast cancer. The participants need to be progressive after at least 1 prior cytostatic regimen in advanced setting. The participants will be treated with bicalutamide and abemaciclib. Bicalutamide works against the androgen receptor and abemaciclib stops the cell cycle. The investigators will look into if this combination can help patients with androgen receptor positive triple negative breast cancer. The investigators will also look into if this is a safe combination.

Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures, sampling and analysis.

There is no upper limit for prior treatment lines in advanced setting. - Patients with 1-10% cells with positive IHC for ER in the last recurrent/metastatic site must be treated with at least one line of endocrine therapy in advanced setting. - Prior treatment with palbociclib or ribociclib is allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed between last administration and start of study treatment 6. Patients must have recovered (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] Grade ≤1) from the acute effects of prior anticancer treatment except for residual Grade 2 alopecia, anemia or peripheral neuropathy prior to randomization. A washout period of at least 21 days is required between last chemotherapy dose and first dose of study drug (provided the patient did not receive radiotherapy). 7. Patients who received radiotherapy must have completed and fully recovered from the acute effects of radiotherapy. A washout period of at least 14 days is required between end of radiotherapy and randomization. 8. In females of child-bearing potential, a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting treatment is required.

A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: - Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or - Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Treatment with any of the following: a. Any experimental treatment in a clinical trial within the last 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization. b) Currently enrolled in any other type of medical research (for example: medical device) judged by the sponsor not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study. c. Any other chemotherapy, immunotherapy or anticancer agents within 21 days of the first dose of study treatment d. Treatment with palbociclib or ribociclib within 6 months of the first dose of study treatment e. Any prior exposure to abemaciclib f.

Concurrent use of endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, oral contraceptive pills) 5. The patient has serious and/or uncontrolled preexisting medical condition(s) that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study (for example, interstitial lung disease, severe dyspnea at rest or requiring oxygen therapy, severe renal impairment [e.g. estimated creatinine clearance <30ml/min], history of major surgical resection involving the stomach or small bowel, or preexisting Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or a preexisting chronic condition resulting in baseline Grade 2 or higher diarrhea). 6.
