Observing MRD's role in local treatment for oligometastatic breast cancer

Official title: An Observational Clinical Study to Evaluate the Role of MRD in the Prediction of Local Therapy in Patients With Oligometastatic Breast Cancer.

Run by The First Hospital of Jilin University · NCT06918262 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to see if measuring minimal residual disease (MRD) can help doctors figure out which patients with oligometastatic breast cancer will do better after local treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include women aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed breast cancer and no more than five systemic metastases.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active infections requiring treatment or severe cardiovascular issues 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 observational study investigates the correlation between minimal residual disease (MRD) levels and prognosis in patients with oligometastatic breast cancer who have undergone local treatment. Participants will provide medical history and demographic information, undergo imaging and MRD testing prior to treatment, and continue with assessments every three months throughout the study. The goal is to identify which patients may benefit from localized treatment based on their MRD levels and to develop individualized treatment plans.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help tailor local treatment strategies for patients with oligometastatic breast cancer, potentially improving their outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on MRD in other cancers, this specific approach in oligometastatic breast cancer is relatively novel.
