Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) With Maintenance of Systemic Therapy Versus Physicians' Choice of Systemic Therapy for Oligoprogressive ER-positive, Her-2 Negative Breast Cancer II
74 participantsStarted 2026-06
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) as a method to delay a change in systemic therapy in patients with oligoprogressive ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The main question it aims to answer is to assess whether the addition of SABR to continuation of first line endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitor (Arm A) to patients with oligoprogressive ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer could have longer time to strategy failure (TSF) in comparison to physician choice of systemic treatment (Arm B) in patients who had progressed first line.
The treatment strategy in Arm A is to maintain patients on current endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitor, controlling localised progressing sites of disease with SABR. Treatment strategy in Arm B is to maintain disease control with physician's choice of systemic therapy alone.

Inclusion criteria
. Patient has signed the AVATAR-II Patient Information and Consent Form (PICF)
. Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time signing consent
. Patients with histologically proven ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer receiving an ET in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. Biopsy of metastatic disease if technically feasible but not mandatory
. Patients must have evidence of extracranial metastatic disease, with no evidence of uncontrolled intracranial metastases. (Controlled intracranial metastases are defined as stable disease on repeat CT imaging performed at least one month apart.)
. Patients must have evidence of radiological response to ET and CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a minimum of six months prior to randomisation (defined as either stable disease or partial response).
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.
What they're measuring
1
Primary Outcome Measure
Timeframe: Time from randomisation to progression of disease resulting in a failure of treatment strategy or death by any cause assessed until withdrawal of consent, death, or 3 years after the last patient has been randomised, whichever is earlier.
. Evidence of new or existing OPD, as determined by the Investigator and defined according to RECIST1.1 (33), via CT on a per-lesion basis (between 1-5 metastases, including the primary) as follows:
. For patients with liver or lung metastases, maximum of 3 oligoprogressive lesions in single organ
. All OPD must be amenable to SABR, as per the radiotherapy guidelines in section 11.1 and Appendix 4 and 5
Exclusion criteria
. Is pregnant or lactating at the time of randomisation
. Evidence of more than one clone of metastatic disease e.g., a patient with both ER-positive and triple negative clones of disease And ER-negative and/or HER2-positive disease would be excluded from the study
. Evidence of leptomeningeal disease
. Evidence of malignant cord compression
. Evidence of lesion within femoral bone requiring surgical fixation
. Patients with risk of bone fracture are not candidate for SABR (Appendix 4 and 5)
. Previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease Note: chemotherapy for primary breast cancer is allowed
