Local therapy for hormone receptor-positive oligometastatic breast cancer
Official title: Local Therapy for Hormone Receptor-positive Oligometastatic Breast Cancer - a Phase II Randomized Trial
Run by Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo · NCT04698252 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests if adding local treatments like surgery or radiation to standard therapy can help people with a specific type of breast cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with hormone receptor-positive oligometastatic breast cancer who have shown a partial response or stable disease after at least six months of systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-hormone receptor-positive breast cancer or those with extensive metastatic disease may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase 2 trial evaluates the effectiveness of local therapy combined with systemic therapy for patients with estrogen receptor/ progesterone receptor-positive oligometastatic breast cancer. Participants will be randomized to receive either local therapy, which may include surgery, radiotherapy, or radiofrequency ablation, alongside systemic therapy, or systemic therapy alone. The study aims to determine if the addition of local treatment improves progression-free survival compared to systemic therapy alone.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve progression-free survival for patients with oligometastatic breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with local therapies for oligometastatic cancers, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
