STereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Oligoprogressive Breast Cancer
36 participantsStarted 2024-09-01
Plain-language summary
Recent advances in systemic therapy have facilitated improved progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment tolerability in metastatic breast cancer patients (MBC). Oligoprogression (OP) refers to progression limited to five or fewer sites in otherwise controlled systemic disease on a drug therapy. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has the potential to locally ablate resistant OP lesions that develop on a systemic treatment, and may consequently delay the need for change in drug therapy, delay time to chemotherapy and prolong PFS. This is a phase II trial of SBRT plus continuation of current systemic therapy line for OP MBC patients, to determine rate of delay of change in systemic therapy of at six months. PFS, time to chemotherapy and quality of life will also be assessed.

Inclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of progressive metastatic breast cancer on first line systemic therapy, including either hormone receptor positive, Her-2 negative (HR+/Her2-) on endocrine therapy + CDK4/6 inhibitor or Her-2 positive (hormone receptor positive or negative /Her2+) on Her2-targeted therapy regimens.
. Progressive disease limited to "oligoprogression", defined as progression of 5 or fewer extra-cranial lesions with otherwise controlled systemic disease on current line of systemic therapy.
. Patients must have previously controlled disease for at least six months on current systemic therapy
. Deemed a candidate for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to all OP lesions
Exclusion criteria
. Requires change in systemic therapy line at the time of OP as determined by medical oncologist;
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
