The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding the TheraBionic P1 device to standard of care third line treatment for adult women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have failed, not tolerated, or progressed on standard first- and second-line treatment options can work better than the standard of care alone. The main questions it aims to answer is: * will the addition of the TheraBionic P1 device to standard of care third line treatment affect progression free and overall survival in these participants

6 month Progression Free Survival (PFS6)
PFS is defined as the interval from treatment initiation to the date of disease progression of death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The treating investigator will determine disease progression. PFS6 will be calculated as the proportion of participants who are alive without progression at six months post-treatment initiation.
Time frame: 6 months after start of treatment
Changes in Quality of Life Scores (QOL)
QOL scores are evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ - C30). It is 30-item questionnaire assessing cancer patients' health-related quality of life, covering functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social), symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea, dyspnoea, etc.), and a global health/QoL scale. We will record the time to deterioration of QOL, physical functioning, and role functioning, as reported by the participant, with deterioration defined as a decrease from baseline of 10 points or more on the EORTC QLQ - C30 maintained for two consecutive assessments or a decrease of 10 points or more in one assessment followed by death from any cause within three weeks.
Time frame: From baseline to up to 1 year after treatment initiation
Overall Survival (OS)
Participants will be followed for survival status every six months for five years after treatment is initiated. OS is defined as the interval from treatment initiation to the date of death from any cause. The distribution of time-to-event data (OS) will be graphically summarized using a Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve, with corresponding median and two-sided 95% Confidence Level (CI) computed using KM estimates. OS rates every six months post-treatment will be estimated using KM estimates with two-sided 95% CIs provided for each time point.
Time frame: From baseline to up to 5 years after treatment initiation
Progression Free Survival
Participants will be followed for progression status every six months for five years after treatment is initiated. Participants will not be followed for progression if they start another anti-cancer therapy during this time. PFS is defined as the interval from treatment initiation to the date of disease progression of death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The treating investigator will determine disease progression. The distribution of time-to-event data (PFS) will be graphically summarized using a Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve, with corresponding median and two-sided 95% CI computed using KM estimates. PFS rates every six months post-treatment will be estimated using KM estimates with two-sided 95% CIs provided for each time point.
Time frame: From baseline to up to 5 years after treatment initiation
