Brief summary

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the study drug, SDX-7320, when combined with the standard chemotherapy eribulin, is an effective treatment for people with TNBC and metabolic dysfunction. The researchers will also look at whether the study treatment (SDX-7320 combined with eribulin) is safe and causes few or mild side effects in participants. The researchers will compare this treatment approach to eribulin alone.

Detailed description

The study includes a safety run-in period in which the first 15 patients enrolled will be assigned to receive the study drug SDX-7320 in combination with eribulin. Upon safety confirmation, randomization will commence for the subsequent 40 patients enrolled.

If the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5×ULN. * Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN except for patient with Gilbert's syndrome who may only be included if the total bilirubin is ≤3.0×ULN or direct bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN * Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL. * Patient is, in the treating Investigator's opinion, willing and able to comply with the study requirements, including the ability to fast prior to treatment days. * If sexually active female of childbearing potential, willing to use a contraception method listed below: * Oral, intravaginal, or transdermal combined (estrogen and progesterone containing) hormonal contraception * Oral, injectable, or implantable progesterone-only hormonal contraception * Intrauterine device (IUD) * Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) * Bilateral tubal occlusion * Vasectomized partner with documentation of successful vasectomy. * Complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse * If a sexually active male, willing to use barrier contraception (condoms)

Exclusion criteria
