New study aims to find hidden cancer spread in High-Risk breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06833502
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how often breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes also spreads to other parts of the body after chemotherapy and surgery. About 120 participants will get CT scans at the start and again after 6 months to check for distant cancer. The goal is to better understand when and how often this happens, which could help guide future treatment decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologic diagnosis of breast cancer with documentation of ER/PR/HER2 status. * HR+ will be defined as ER and/or PR ≥ 10%. To be classified as HER2+ disease, overexpression of HER2 by either IHC or in-situ hybridization is necessary as defined by the ASCO / CAP Guidelines27. Triple negative will be classified as ER and PR \<10% and HER2-. * Node positive HER2+ and triple negative breast cancer (ypN+) following receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. HR+/HER2- patients should have ypN2 or ypN3 disease following receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. * Patient must have completed a minimum of 8 weeks of standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of an anthracycline and/or taxane-based regimen. To include HER2 directed therapy for HER2+ patients. * Age ≥ 18. * Life expectancy ≥ 6 months. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 2. * Patients must be able to understand and the willingness to sign an informed consent for study procedures. * Ability to understand and stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior diagnosis of systemic metastases. * Patients with prior history of non-breast cancer malignancies should have NED ≥ 2 years excluding adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ cancer of the cervix or bladder. * Contraindication towards CT IV contrast. * Chronic kidney disease stage IV or V or end stage renal disease (CrCl \<30 ml/min).
