Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
This phase III trial evaluates the effect of adding locoregional therapy (surgery and radiation) and metastasis-directed stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard systemic therapy following standard HER2-targeted systemic therapy, compared to standard systemic therapy alone, in treating patients with HER2-positive stage IV breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic). The usual approach for patients with (oligo)metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer is systemic drug treatment, which means medicines that travel through the whole body to treat both the breast and any areas where the cancer has spread. There are a number of approved HER2-targeted systemic therapy regimens available to patients. These typically include immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Immunotherapy drugs may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading....
Inclusion
- REGISTRATION STEP 1 - SCREENING \& INITIAL TREATMENT:
- Participants must have histologically confirmed de novo metastatic (i.e. American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] stage IV, no prior history of breast cancer) HER2+ breast cancer with 1 to 5 distant metastatic lesions (oligometastatic). Metastatic breast cancer must be histologically confirmed through biopsy of a distant metastatic lesion unless it is not feasible or safe to biopsy a metastatic lesion, then there must be unequivocal evidence of metastasis on imaging and laboratory studies. HER2+ status must be confirmed in the breast tumor and distant metastatic site as defined per NCCN guidelines version 4.2025
- NOTE: If HER2 positivity at metastatic site is equivocal due to limitations in HER2 analysis in bone, or it is not feasible or safe to biopsy the metastatic lesion, then HER2 positivity based on breast tumor only is acceptable. If there is no breast lesion, HER2+ must be confirmed in at least one metastatic site
- Participants with brain metastases are eligible if they meet all of the following criteria at baseline:
- There are 5 or fewer intracranial lesions
- Each intracranial lesions is no larger than 2cm in longest dimension
