Precision radiotherapy targets rare breast tumors by genetic fingerprint
NCT ID NCT07657169
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether giving radiotherapy after surgery can prevent local recurrence in people with a rare breast tumor called phyllodes tumor, specifically those with high-risk molecular subtypes (MN1 or MN2). Participants who have had complete tumor removal will be randomly assigned to receive radiotherapy or just observation. The study aims to see if this personalized approach improves local control and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Postoperative radiotherapy (radiation therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a precision radiotherapy approach for high-risk phyllodes tumors, reducing local recurrence and improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 160 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Radiotherapy carries risks of skin irritation, fatigue, and rare long-term 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: 1. Female patients aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years. 2. Histologically confirmed breast phyllodes tumor (PT) by the central laboratory, with molecular classification as MN1 or MN2 subtype via transcriptome sequencing or IHC; 3. Primary or ipsilateral local recurrence following R0 resection (negative margins) before enrollment; 4. Pathologically confirmed borderline or malignant PT; 5. No evidence of distant metastasis (M0); 6. ECOG performance status 0-1; 7. Signed informed consent before treatment; 8. Expected randomization and study entry within 8-12 weeks (no later than 16 weeks) after surgery. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous radiation to the same-side breast or chest; 2. women, or those of childbearing potential refusing effective contraception; Pregnancy, lactation, or refusal of contraception by fertile subjects; 3. Grade III-IV bone marrow suppression: WBC≤1.9\*109/L,ANC≤0.9\*109/L,PLT≤49\*109/L,AST, ALT≥2\*ULN; 4. Significant diarrhea, severe active infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, interstitial lung disease, active connective tissue disease, or LVEF \< 50%; 5. Significant diarrhea, severe active infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, interstitial lung disease, active connective tissue disease, or LVEF \< 50%; 6. Prior or planned systemic anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agents) during the study; 7. Participation in other clinical trials that precludes study inclusion; 8. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, renders the patient unsuitable for the trial.
