Can surgery and radiation tame spread of HER2+ breast cancer?
NCT ID NCT07053085
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding surgery and targeted radiation to standard treatment helps people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to up to 5 spots in the body. About 178 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus surgery and radiation. The goal is to see if the combination delays cancer progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy) and radiation therapy (locoregional radiation and stereotactic body radiation therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could become a new standard to control or delay progression of HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to a few spots in the body.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase II trial with 178 participants, so results are still preliminary. Adding surgery and radiation may not improve outcomes and could increase side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Pathologically-confirmed metastatic breast cancer. * Oligometastatic breast cancer (≤5 discrete metastatic lesions) without CNS involvement; as seen on standard imaging during initial workup and monitoring prior to registration. * HER2-positive breast cancer per CAP/ASCO guidelines as determined by staff pathologist (any estrogen or progesterone receptor status). * Based on size and location, all metastatic sites can be safely treated with either SBRT or resection. * Enrolled at least 3 months (and up to 12 months) after initiation of first-line systemic therapy AND without evidence of progression as determined by treating clinician (whether clinically or radiographically) during this window. (ie. in the judgement of the treating clinician, based on standard evaluations, all known disease must be controlled prior to enrollment). * ECOG performance status 0-2; KPS 60-100 Exclusion Criteria: * Any foci of disease progression during initial 3-12 months of first-line systemic therapy (as determined by treating clinician) * Escalation of systemic therapy line due to progressive disease (i.e. initiated second-line therapy prior to enrollment). * Comorbidities precluding receipt of radiotherapy, surgery or standard systemic therapy. * Intracranial or intrathecal/intramedullary spinal disease (ie. CNS involvement is excluded from the study; epidural/vertebral disease is permitted) * Prior cancer history requiring chemotherapy within the past 10 years (ie. prior cancers are permitted provided no chemotherapy was administered). Inclusion of Underrepresented Populations * Individuals of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial. There is no bias towards age or race in the clinical trial outlined. This trial is open to the accrual of men and women.
