NCT ID NCT07218432

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study is testing whether a device called TheraBionic P1, which delivers targeted electromagnetic fields, can affect breast cancer tumors before surgery. About 24 women with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer will use the device three times daily for 60 minutes each session. Researchers will measure how many cancer cells remain in the removed tumor tissue to see if the treatment has any effect.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TheraBionic P1 device (amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive, drug-free way to shrink breast cancer tumors before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small pilot study with only 24 participants. It may show no effect on tumors, and the device is not a standard treatment.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 24 people

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

Expected to start

Oct 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must have histologically proven invasive breast cancer that is HR (hormone receptor) positive and HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) negative according to the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (ER and/or PR (progesterone receptor) \>1% and HER2 negative by immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] and/or fluorescent in situ hybridization \[FISH\]). * Participant must have early-stage operable disease (stage I-II or III who have planned upfront surgery) and agree to definitive upfront surgery. * Participant must be available for at least two weeks of TheraBionic treatment prior to scheduled resection * Participant must have archival tissue available. * Participant must be a woman aged 22 years or older * Participant must be able to understand a written informed consent document and be willing to sign it * Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. * It is not known what effects this treatment has on human pregnancy or development of the embryo or fetus. Therefore, women of child-bearing potential must agree to avoid becoming pregnant starting at initiation of treatment up until at least 30 days after the last TheraBionic P1 session Exclusion Criteria: * Participants that are receiving or will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant hormonal therapy * Participants with known active secondary malignancy, unless, in the opinion of the investigator, it is unlikely to interfere with the safety and efficacy of the endpoints * Participants that are taking any other investigational drugs * Participants that are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the unknown but potential risk for adverse events. If a breastfeeding participant would like to be part of this study, breastfeeding must be discontinued * Participants with active oral mucosal inflammation, ulceration, or other pathology that could interfere with the use of TheraBionic P1 device (for example: mucositis, thrush, bleeding mucosal lesions, oral herpes, aphthous stomatitis, mouth ulcers, chancre sores, gingivostomatitis, herpangina, aphthae). * Participants receiving calcium channel blockers and any agent blocking L-type or T-type voltage gated calcium channels (for example: amlodipine, nifedipine, ethosuximide, ascorbic acid/vitamin C, etc.) unless their medical treatment is discontinued at least one day prior to treatment. Participant must agree to abstain from using calcium channel blockers for the duration of treatment on study. * Participants that do not agree to be followed according to the study protocol or have cognitive or physical inability to use the device * Participants with a known severe (e.g., anaphylactic) allergy to nickel.
