Trial 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. Read more about this study

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 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

Who cannot join

  • Requires change in systemic therapy line at the time of OP as determined by medical oncologist;
  • Progression on 2nd line or subsequent lines of therapy
  • Lacks CT or bone scan Imaging within previous 45 days;
  • Progression in >3 sites in the liver or lung;
  • Hormone positive disease on endocrine therapy only at time of enrollment;

About this study

Official title: STereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) After oligoprogRession Metastatic Breast Cancer (STAR-B)

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients with change in systemic therapy

    Change in systemic therapy will occur with progression with the following criteria:

    1. Progression not amenable to further SBRT, including multifocal (>3) sites;
    2. Progression in lesion not amenable to further SBRT;
    3. Rapid progression such that treating medical oncologist believes change in therapy is warranted;
    4. Progression in location including, including visceral metastasis, such that treating medical oncologist believes change in therapy is warranted

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Progression outside radiotherapy field per RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

  2. Local progression

    Progression within a treated lesion per RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

  3. Time to chemotherapy

    Initiation of cytotoxic therapy

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

  4. Overall Survival

    Proportion of patients alive

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

  5. CTCAE Toxicity

    common terminology criteria for adverse events 5.0

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic body radiotherapy in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer and Oligoprogression, run by Juravinski Cancer Center.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Elysia K Donovan, MD MSc FRCPC DABR (905 387 9495 ext. 63123, donovane@hhsc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with change in systemic therapy (time frame: Six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06489821, which also lists 29 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jul 2024.
