Zapping resistant tumors: could radiation extend the life of current breast cancer therapy?

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

INCLUSION CRITERIA Patients will be eligible for inclusion in this trial if all the following criteria apply: 1. Patient has signed the AVATAR-II Patient Information and Consent Form (PICF) 2. Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time signing consent 3. Patients with histologically proven ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer receiving an ET in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. Biopsy of metastatic disease if technically feasible but not mandatory 4. Patients must have evidence of extracranial metastatic disease, with no evidence of uncontrolled intracranial metastases. (Controlled intracranial metastases are defined as stable disease on repeat CT imaging performed at least one month apart.) 5. Patients must have evidence of radiological response to ET and CDK 4/6 inhibitor for a minimum of six months prior to randomisation. Note: Patient must have ongoing stability/response in at least one lesion at the time of randomisation. 6. Evidence of new or existing OPD, as determined by the Investigator and defined according to RECIST1.1, via CT on a per-lesion basis (between 1-5 metastases, including the primary) as follows: * At least a 20% increase in the diameter of a lesion, taking as reference the smallest diameter on a previous CT scan with an absolute increase of at least 5mm * Appearance of a new lesion(s) Note: A new lesion can be identified using various imaging modalities, such as PET-CT or WBBS, as long as the lesion is visible on serial CT scans. 7. For patients with liver or lung metastases, maximum of 3 oligoprogressive lesions in single organ 8. All OPD must be amenable to SABR, as per the radiotherapy guidelines in section 11.1 and Appendix 4 and 5 of Protocol v2.3 dated 20Feb2026 9. ECOG performance status 0-2 10. Life expectancy ≥ 6 months 11. Clinician and patient are willing to continue current line of therapy if randomised to Arm A 12. Patient is able to complete QoL questionnaires, and other assessments required as part of the study EXCLUSION CRITERIA Patients will not be eligible for inclusion in this trial if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Is pregnant or lactating at the time of randomisation 2. Evidence of more than one clone of metastatic disease e.g., a patient with both ER-positive and triple negative clones of disease and ER-negative and/or HER2-positive disease would be excluded from the study 3. Evidence of leptomeningeal disease 4. Evidence of malignant cord compression 5. Evidence of lesion within femoral bone requiring surgical fixation 6. Patients with risk of bone fracture are not candidate for SABR (Appendix 4 and 5 of Protocol v2.3 dated 20Feb2026) 7. Previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Note: chemotherapy for primary breast cancer is allowed 8. Contraindications to radiotherapy 9. Any condition deeming the patient unsuitable to comply with the study 10. Substantial overlap with previously treated area. Reirradiation is permitted with the condition that the combined plan adheres to the specific dose constraints outlined in this protocol. It is advised to use biological effective dose (BED) calculations to correlate previous doses with the tolerance doses documented in the protocol 11. Evidence of progression in more than 5 lesions 12. Prior SABR delivered for oligoprogressive disease with the intent of delaying a change in systemic therapy.
