Radiation may tame Treatment-Resistant breast cancer

NCT ID NCT07672743

First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether high-dose radiation can control tumors in people with locally advanced or recurrent metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to systemic therapy. Participants receive radical-dose radiotherapy, and those with large tumors (5 cm or more) may get a special technique called spatially fractionated radiation therapy. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink or stabilize tumors when other treatments have failed.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Radiation therapy (radical dose radiotherapy, including spatially fractionated radiation therapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a way to control locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 29 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Radiation can cause side effects like skin irritation, fatigue, or damage to nearby tissues.
