- Study cohort 1: History of BM that are non-progressing after WBRT and/or SRS and or surgery.
- Study cohort 2: Presence of asymptomatic BM without clinical requirement for local intervention (WBRT and/or SRS and/or surgery).
- Study cohorts 3 and 4: Evidence of new and/or progressive BM following previous WBRT and/or SRS and/or surgery.

Previous treatments:
- For HER2-positive patients have been previously treated with a taxane and at least one HER2-targeted therapy in the advanced scenario.
- For HER2-low-expressing patients that also are endocrine receptor negative must have been previously treated with at least one chemotherapy regimen. If endocrine receptor positive, patients must have been previously treated with at least one chemotherapy and one endocrine regimen in the metastatic setting.
-
Patients must agree to collection of blood samples at the time of inclusion, at cycle 2 of treatment, and upon progression or study termination.
Note: In study cohort 5: Patients must agree to perform spinal taps or must be willing to have an Ommaya reservoir placed for CSF assessment, at baseline, every three weeks for 12 weeks (corresponding to the first 5 cycles of treatment) and every six weeks thereafter.
