Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health
             information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or
             obtained separately.

          2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.

          3. Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 (see section 6.7 for details).

          4. ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1 as defined in the protocol ECOG Performance Status.

          5. Subject must have histologically confirmed stage IV TNBC (ER-, PR-, HER2-negative) and
             have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy.

               -  ER- and PR-negative: defined as < 1% staining by immunohistochemistry (IHC)

               -  HER2-negative disease, defined as IHC 0-1+ or fluorescence in situ hybridization
                  (FISH) ratio < 2.0

          6. Patients with stable brain metastases will be allowed provided the following criteria
             are met:

               -  Brain radiation was already provided at least 4 weeks prior to initiating study
                  treatment

               -  The subject has no new or progressive neurologic symptoms AND neurological
                  symptom stability for the last 4 weeks prior to the study

               -  The subject has been off of corticosteroids for at least 7 days prior to trial
                  treatment

               -  The subject does not have carcinomatous meningitis

          7. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in the table below; all screening labs
             to be obtained within 72 h of initiating study treatment.

          8. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72
             hrs prior to treatment. NOTE: Females are considered of child bearing potential unless
             they are surgically sterile, have a congenital acquired condition that prevents
             childbearing (have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion,
             bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 weeks prior to screening)
             or they are naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months without an
             alternative medical cause. In women < 45 years of age a high follicle stimulating
             hormone level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal
             state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. In
             the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.

          9. Female patients of childbearing potential should be willing to use appropriate birth
             control as outlined in Section 5.2.8, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the
             course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication.

         10. Male subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of
             contraception as outlined in Section 5.2.8, starting with the first dose of study
             therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.

         11. Consent for the use of any residual material from biopsy (archival tissue) and serial
             blood draws will be required for enrollment; fresh biopsy (pre and post dose) of tumor
             tissue will be optional. NOTE: Patients without adequate tissue for bio correlates
             will not be excluded or required to have a repeat biopsy.

         12. As determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, the subject should be
             able to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the
             study.

         13. Has a LVEF within the normal institutional range (or ≥ 50%) based on ECHO or MUGA.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Active infection requiring systemic therapy

          2. Pregnant or breastfeeding (NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the
             mother is being treated on study).

             due to a previously administered agent.

             • If subject had major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity
             and complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy

          7. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment.
             Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the

             drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid
             replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a
             form of systemic treatment.

         13. Has known history of, or any evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis requiring
             treatment with steroids; has history of, or any evidence of, active interstitial lung

             [qualitative] is detected).

         21. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.

             • Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and
             are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist®) are live

             and 2C19 within 1 week prior to receiving cyclophosphamide dosing through 72 hours
             after cyclophosphamide dosing. Patients must not have received any drug that is a
             moderate or strong inducer of 3A4 within 2 weeks prior to cyclophosphamide dosing.
