Patients with metastatic breast cancer (five with triple-negative breast cancer) were treated with mifepristone and eribulin at three different dose levels. The study consisted of seven patients with GR-positive tumors, three patients with GR-negative tumors and three patients with unknown GR status. Two partial responses have been observed, both in patients with GR-positive cancer.

The study title shows it includes patients who do not have triple negative breast cancer:

Mifepristone and Eribulin in Patients With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer or Other Specified Solid Tumors
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02014337?term=Triple+Negative+Breast+Cancer+mifepristone&rank=1
In fact, the study accepts Breast Cancer, Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Recurrent, Sarcoma, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, Prostate Cancer, Prostatic Neoplasms

From the title of the press release, one would assume that of the two partial responses, at least one of them was in TNBC, but it's not entirely clear from the text.

What's clear is that both patients had GR-positive tumors and advanced disease.

From the press release: An additional 20 patients with GR-positive metastatic TNBC will be enrolled into the study’s efficacy phase.
