ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04563507

This clinical trial is exploring whether adding targeted radiation therapy to standard treatment can improve outcomes for women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is designed for women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Participants will receive the standard first-line treatment, which includes letrozole and palbociclib. Additionally, they will be randomly assigned to receive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) directed at each metastatic site to see if this combination can better control the cancer.
