• If subject has received solvent-based paclitaxel (TAXOL) or docetaxel as adjuvant chemotherapy, subject must not have relapsed with breast cancer within 12 months of completing said therapy.

• Suitable candidate for single agent nab-paclitaxel as assessed by the investigator.

6. Subject has no other malignancy within 5 years, except non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or in-situ cervical cancer or incidental histological finding of prostate cancer (TNM stage of T1a or T1b); all treatments of which should have been completed 6 months prior to signing ICF.

7. Subject has the following laboratory values at screening:

• Potassium within normal range, or correctable with supplements,

• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) or ≤ 3.0 x ULN if liver tumor is present,

• Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except in subjects with Gilbert's who may have serum bilirubin < 3.0 x ULN),

• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, or 24-hr clearance ≥ 60 mL/min,

• Normal coagulation [prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time within normal limits (±15%)].

8. Subject has resting baseline oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry of ≥ 92% at rest.
