What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether giving radiation again after a second lumpectomy is safe for women with a common type of breast cancer (ER+HER2-). About 114 women who had radiation before and whose cancer came back at least 18 months later will receive targeted radiation over 3 weeks. The main goal is to see how many experience severe side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safe option for women with breast cancer recurrence to receive radiation again after a second lumpectomy, potentially avoiding mastectomy.
What could go wrong
This is an early safety trial with only 114 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Repeat radiation carries risks of side effects like skin damage or fibrosis, and it is not yet known if it effectively prevents cancer from coming back.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with ER+HER2- breast cancer * Provision of signed and dated ICF * Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study * Age ≥ 40 years * Oncotype \< 26 (postmenopausal) \<16 (premenopausal), Low, or Ultra-Low index. * Minimum interval of 18 months from last breast radiotherapy session. * Prior radiation therapy in the form of brachytherapy, external beam MV photons, protons or intraoperative radiation are allowed with an upper total dose limit of 68 Gy (EQD2) for those patients with prior records available. * Ipsilateral recurrence, unifocal \< 3 cm with negative margins, N0, Tis and invasive (pathological staging) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 2 * Planning target volume: whole breast (PTV: WB) ratio \< 1/2 * Life expectancy \> 12 months * Individuals able to become pregnant: agreement to use highly effective contraception starting at screening through treatment, and for 1 year after the end of PBI. Should a participant become pregnant or suspect that they are pregnant while participating in this study, they should notify the treating physician immediately. A person able to become pregnant is any person assigned female at birth (regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: 1. Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2. Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has not had menses at any time during the preceding 12 consecutive months) Exclusion Criteria: * BRCA1/2 mutation or any other receptor subtypes * Individuals assigned male at birth with breast cancer * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Skin involvement * Distant metastasis * Patients with initial high-risk triple negative or HER-2 enriched breast cancer will be excluded from the trial. However, if the initial subtype is not known, patients will still be allowed to enroll, and the initial primary tumor information will be recorded as missing on the clinical forms. * Other malignancies (except skin) * Connective tissue disorder (e.g., scleroderma, lupus) * Any other condition that may put a participant at higher risk, at the discretion of the investigator.
