NCT ID NCT07385365

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 phase 3 trial will test if women with intermediate-risk breast cancer can safely skip radiation to the lymph nodes after surgery. About 3,142 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard radiation to the breast or chest wall plus lymph nodes, or radiation only to the breast or chest wall (or no radiation after mastectomy). The goal is to see if skipping lymph node radiation leads to similar cancer-free survival with fewer 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
radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that many intermediate-risk breast cancer patients can safely avoid extra radiation to the lymph nodes, reducing side effects without harming survival.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but it's not yet recruiting. The benefit of skipping radiation may be small, and there is a risk of higher cancer recurrence in the non-radiation group.
