About this study

Official title: Compare the Efficacy of Surgery Combined With Systemic Therapy and Pure Systemic Therapy in Patients With Stage Ⅳ Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of primary resection combined with systemic therapy and pure systemic therapy on the overall survival of patients with stage Ⅳ breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

In developing countries, the proportion of breast cancer patients who have a stage IV diagnosis at the first diagnosis can be as high as 25%. For advanced breast cancer, previous views have suggested that surgery as one of the palliative treatments does not improve patient survival. The proportion of patients undergoing surgery for stage IV breast cancer has gradually decreased over the past 30 years. At present, there is still no clear recommendation and guidance in common clinical guidelines for the primary surgery for stage IV breast cancer. Some retrospective studies suggest that surgery can improve the survival of advanced breast cancer, but the results of prospective studies are inconclusive, and surgery is still not a routine choice for stage IV breast cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. OS

    The time from diagnosis to death

    Measured: up to 2 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PFS

    The time from randomization to disease progression or death, including local PFS and distant PFS Local PFS refers to the time from randomization of patients to local or regional lymph node recurrence in the surgical group or local or regional lymph node progression in the non-surgical group. distant PFS refers to the time from randomization of a patient to local or distant distant disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to 2 year

  2. BCSS (Breast Cancer Specific Survival)

    The time from the random start of a patient to death due to breast cancer, excluding deaths caused by other causes

    Measured: up to 2 year

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted16 Dec 2019
  2. Study start15 Apr 2020
  3. Primary completion1 May 2022
  4. Study completion1 May 2022

Why it stopped: In clinical treatment, most patients with stage IV breast cancer received surgical treatment, which made it difficult to enroll this project, so this study was terminated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing surgery combined with systemic therapy and systemic therapy in people with Stage IV Breast Cancer, run by Henan Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

OS (time frame: up to 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2024.
