Local Therapy for ER/PR-positive Oligometastatic Breast Cancer (LARA)

Local Therapy for Hormone Receptor-positive Oligometastatic Breast Cancer - a Phase II Randomized Trial

Randomized phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy of local therapy for oligometastasis from ER/PR-positive breast cancer. The study hypothesis is that local therapy in addition to systemic therapy improves progression-free survival in comparison with systemic therapy alone.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Breast Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Radiation: Radiotherapy; Procedure: Surgery; Other: Radiofrequency ablation

Detailed Description

Patients with estrogen receptor/ progesterone receptor-positive oligometastatic breast cancer with disease controlled after at least six months of systemic therapy will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive local therapy for oligometastatic sites in addition to systemic therapy or systemic therapy alone. Local therapy strategies will include surgery, radiotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Systemic therapy; Patients will receive standard of care with systemic therapy alone.
Experimental: Local therapy + systemic therapy; In addition to systemic therapy, patients will receive local therapy for all oligometastatic sites. Options of local therapy will be radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and/ or surgery.	Radiation: Radiotherapy; Radiation therapy for oligometastatic sites; Procedure: Surgery; Surgery for oligometastatic sites; Other: Radiofrequency ablation; Radiofrequency ablation for oligometastatic sites

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
2-year progression-free survival (PFS)	PFS will be defined as the time from randomization until the date of progression or death. 2-year PFS rate will represent the probability of a patient being free of progression after 2 years of randomization and will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.	from baseline up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall-survival (OS)	OS will be calculated from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause.	from baseline up to 10 years
Local therapy complication rate	Local therapy complications will be registered, including the occurrence of bleeding, local infections, pneumothorax, or other events attributed to local therapy by the medical team. Acute complications will be considered as those occurring until one month after procedure, while late complication will be those occurring later than one month.	from baseline up to 10 years
1. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30)	The EORTC QLQ-C30 provide points for questions related to global health status, functional scales, and symptom scales, providing scores ranging from 0-100. Higher scores represent higher health status, higher functioning, and higher symptom burden.	from baseline up to 1 year
2. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire - Breast Cancer (QLQ-BR23)	EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is composed of questions related to functional scales and symptom scales specific for breast cancer, providing scores ranging from 0-100. Higher scores for functional scales represent better functioning, while higher scores for symptom scales represent higher levels of symptoms.	from baseline up to 1 year
Chemotherapy-free survival	Chemotherapy-free survival will be calculated from the date of randomization until the first date of application of a new chemotherapy line.	from baseline up to 10 years
Subgroup analysis - PFS according to type of metastatic disease (de novo versus recurrent) and metastatic sites	PFS will be calculated for subgroups, according to type of metastatic disease (de novo versus recurrent) and sites of oligometastasis	from baseline up to 10 years
