Local treatment for ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer with few metastases

Local Treatment in Addition to Endocrine Therapy in ER-positive/HER2-negative Oligo-metastatic Breast Cancer (CLEAR): a Multicentre, Single -Arm, Phase 2 Trial

Phase 2 Interventional Gangnam Severance Hospital · NCT03750396

This study is testing if combining local treatments like surgery and targeted radiation with hormone therapy can help people with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread a little but is still manageable.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of local treatments, such as surgical resection and stereotactic body radiotherapy, combined with endocrine therapy for patients with oligometastatic ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. The study aims to provide a first-line treatment option for patients with limited metastatic lesions, focusing on those with a recurrence-free interval of at least one year. The interventions are designed to target metastatic lesions that are manageable in size and number, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer who have up to two metastatic lesions and a recurrence-free interval of at least one year.

Not a fit: Patients with de novo metastatic cancer or those who have had a recurrence-free interval of less than one year may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance treatment efficacy and prolong survival for patients with oligometastatic breast cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using local treatments for oligometastatic breast cancer, indicating that this approach is supported by emerging evidence.
