NCT ID NCT05634889

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is for women with early-stage breast cancer that has spread to 1-2 lymph nodes. It tests whether skipping radiation to the lymph nodes can reduce side effects and improve quality of life without increasing the risk of cancer coming back. About 1,350 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard radiation or a reduced plan that avoids lymph node treatment. The goal is to see if the gentler approach is just as effective at preventing recurrence over five years.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Primary unifocal or multifocal invasive breast cancer T1-T2. 2. Clinically N0. 3. Macrometastasis (\>2mm) in 1-2 lymph nodes at sentinel node biopsy. 4. Oral and written consent. 5. Age ≥ 18 years. 6. All resection margins are tumor free (no tumor on ink). 7. Primary tumor ER-positive, HER2-negative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Regional or distant metastases outside the ipsilateral axilla. 2. Previous RT towards the planned target area, i.e. the ipsilateral chest/lymph nodes. 3. Neoadjuvant systemic therapy. 4. Axillary lymph node dissection or other previous axillary surgery on the affected side. 5. Prior history of invasive breast cancer. 6. Pregnancy. 7. Bilateral invasive breast cancer. 8. Contraindication for radiotherapy or systemic treatment. 9. Inability to absorb or understand the contents of the informed consent form; for example, through disability, inadequate language skills or dementia. 10. Other invasive cancer within 5 years prior to breast cancer diagnosis
