Surgery vs. No Surgery for Primary Tumor in De Novo Stage IV Breast Cancer With Solitary Bone Metastases (POSITIVE-Bone)

29. juni 2026 opdateret af: Du Zhenggui, West China Hospital

A National Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Primary Tumor Surgery Followed by Systemic Therapy With Systemic Therapy Alone in Patients With De Novo Stage IV Breast Cancer and Solitary Bone Metastases

This is a national multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The study aims to compare the 5-year overall survival (OS) between patients receiving primary tumor surgery followed by systemic therapy (surgery group) and those receiving systemic therapy alone (non-surgery group) in patients with de novo Stage IV breast cancer who have solitary bone metastases. Secondary objectives include comparing progression-free survival (PFS), breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS), local control rates, patient-reported outcomes (BREAST-Q, QLQ-C30), safety (surgical complications and systemic therapy toxicities), and cost-effectiveness.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The value of primary tumor resection in de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) remains debated. While early retrospective studies suggested a potential survival benefit, recent large-scale randomized controlled trials (e.g., JCOG1017, E2108) have shown no OS benefit for the overall stage IV BC population. However, exploratory subgroup analyses consistently point towards a potential benefit for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) disease and low metastatic burden, such as solitary bone metastases.

Given the unique biological behavior of HR+ BC and the effectiveness of modern systemic therapies (e.g., endocrine therapy + CDK4/6 inhibitors), it is hypothesized that primary tumor surgery may provide an additional "consolidation" benefit in this specific subgroup by improving local control and potentially prolonging survival. To address this, our team has designed this national multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial.

This study will enroll patients with de novo stage IV BC confirmed to have only bone metastases. All participants will receive standard systemic therapy based on their molecular subtype. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either undergo primary tumor surgery (mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery with or without immediate reconstruction) within 4 weeks of randomization, followed by continued systemic therapy, or to receive systemic therapy alone. Palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases is permitted in both arms. The primary endpoint is 5-year overall survival. Secondary endpoints include PFS, BCSS, local control rate, quality of life (BREAST-Q, QLQ-C30), surgical complication rates, and cost analysis. This study will provide high-level evidence to guide personalized treatment decisions for this specific patient subgroup in China.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Surgery Group
Patients undergo primary tumor surgery (total mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery with sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection, with or without immediate breast reconstruction) within 4 weeks after randomization, followed by continued standard systemic therapy.
Surgical removal of the primary breast tumor. The procedure type (mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery) is determined by tumor size, location, and patient preference, and is performed by experienced breast surgeons following national guidelines. Axillary staging (sentinel node biopsy or dissection) is performed concurrently. Immediate breast reconstruction (prosthesis or autologous tissue) may be performed when indicated.
Aktiv komparator: Non-Surgery Group
Patients receive standard systemic therapy alone based on their molecular subtype (e.g., HR+/HER2-: endocrine therapy ± CDK4/6 inhibitor; HER2+: anti-HER2 therapy + chemotherapy; Triple-negative: chemotherapy ± immunotherapy). Palliative local therapy (e.g., radiotherapy) for bone metastases or for managing severe local complications from the primary tumor (e.g., uncontrolled ulceration, bleeding) is permitted but not elective curative-intent primary tumor surgery.
Systemic treatment administered according to the patient's molecular subtype (HR+, HER2+, or Triple-negative) based on Chinese and international clinical guidelines. Regimens include, but are not limited to, endocrine therapy (e.g., letrozole, exemestane) with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors (e.g., palbociclib) for HR+/HER2- disease; anti-HER2 targeted therapy (e.g., trastuzumab, pertuzumab) combined with chemotherapy for HER2+ disease; and chemotherapy (e.g., taxanes, anthracyclines) with or without immunotherapy (e.g., pembrolizumab) for triple-negative disease. All patients with bone metastases routinely receive bone-modifying agents (zoledronic acid or denosumab).
