What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether adding a device called TheraBionic P1 to standard treatment can help women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who have already tried two prior treatments. The device delivers low-level radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and is used alongside standard third-line therapy. The study aims to see if this combination improves progression-free survival and quality of life.

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 radiofrequency electromagnetic fields)
What this could lead to
If effective, this device could offer a new way to extend survival and improve quality of life for patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is added to standard care, and its benefit over standard care alone is unproven.

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

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 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 confirmed invasive breast cancer that is hormone receptor (HR) negative and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (Estrogen Receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) \< 1% and HER2 negative by immuno-histochemistry (IHC) and/or fluorescent in situ hybridization \[FISH\] * Participant must have evaluable disease as defined by the investigator using CT, MRI, or positron emission tomography (PET) scan * Participant must have refractory disease and failed, not tolerated, or progressed on at least two lines of prior standard therapeutic regimens for mTNBC. • Participant must have a washout period of at least 14 days between the last line of treatment and the start of study treatment. * Participant must be a woman of 22 years of age or older. * Participant must have a life expectancy of at least three months * Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0-2 * It is unknown 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 and male participants should avoid impregnating a female partner and donating sperm starting at initiation of treatment up until at least 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation * Surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) * Post-menopausal, defined as no menses for at least 12 months prior to the screening visit without alternative medical causation. * Agree to practice true abstinence from sexual intercourse when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Periodic abstinence methods such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post ovulation tracking are not acceptable. * Not in a sexual relationship in which they may become pregnant (i.e. same-sex relationship) * If they are of child-bearing potential, agree to use at least one highly effective AND at least one additional method of contraception. Withdrawal is not an acceptable contraceptive method. Exclusion Criteria: * 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 with known untreated brain metastases will be excluded from this clinical trial. Stable brain metastases will be allowed, and it will be confirmed by stable brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast within 8 weeks of signing consent. * Participants who are taking any other investigational drugs * Participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 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 who plan to receive calcium channel blockers and any agent blocking L-type of T-type voltage gated calcium channels (for example: amlodipine, nifedipine, ethosuximide, supplemental vitamin C/ascorbic acid, etc.) unless their medical treatment is discontinued prior to treatment. Participant must agree to abstain from using calcium channel blockers for the duration of treatment on study * Participants who plan to receive anticancer therapy that blocks L-type or T-type voltage gated calcium channels (i.e., eribulin, rucaparib, or niraparib) as part of their third line treatment. Participants who have received eribulin, rucaparib, or niraparib as part of a previous line of therapy are eligible, provided there has been at least 14 days between the last date of treatment and the start of study treatment. * Participants that do not agree to be followed according to the study protocol or have cognitive or physical inability to follow the treatment plan * Participants with a known severe (e.g., anaphylactic) allergy to nickel
