A Study on Adding Precisely Targeted Radiation Therapy (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) to the Usual Treatment Approach (Drug Therapy) in People With Breast Cancer

July 8, 2026 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) to Extend the Benefit of Systemic Therapy in Patients With Solitary Disease Progression

The purpose of this study is to see if using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy/SBRT to treat a single metastatic site where cancer has worsened may be an effective treatment for people with oligometastatic breast cancer. Participants will stay on their usual drug therapy while they receive SBRT. This combination of SBRT to a single metastatic site and usual drug therapy may prevent participants' cancer from worsening in other metastatic sites or spreading.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

    • ER+/HER2-, defined as >5% ER+ staining
    • HER2+ (regardless of ER status), including HER2-low and high expressors
  • History of at least 6 months, sustained response to systemic therapy (clinically or radiographically defined as complete or stable response without progression)

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Experimental: Participants with oligometastatic breast cancer
Participants with oligometastatic breast cancer with isolated progression after sustained (>=6 month) response to systemic therapy. Participants will receive image guided, SBRT to the progressive lesion identified on imaging. Participants will be maintained on their existing line of systemic therapy. Systemic therapy will be held during days of radiation and resume following completion of radiation.
Radiation: Stereotactic body radiotherapy
SBRT will be initiated as soon as possible, at not beyond 8 weeks of baseline measurements. Recommended dosing is per department standards for oligometastatic disease (ie, 10 Gy x 3 or 7-8 Gy x 5 fractions daily, excluding weekends and departmental holidays)
