TAORMINA: Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for OligoMetastatic Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
TAORMINA is an international, multicentre, randomised phase 3 trial for patients with oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) that will be allocated to combined stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) + systemic therapy (investigational arm) versus systemic therapy alone (control arm) as 1st line therapy.

Detailed Description
TAORMINA is an international, multicentre, randomised phase 3 trial for patients with oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) that will be allocated to combined stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) + systemic therapy (investigational arm) versus systemic therapy alone (control arm) as 1st line therapy.
Patients with 1-5 metastases in 1-2 organs with any breast cancer subtype can be enrolled. All metastases must be available for SABR.
The primary aim is to investigate if the addition of SABR to the oligometastatic sites in addition to the standard first-line treatment can improve overall survival (OS).
Secondary aims are to compare progression-free survival (PFS), response rate and time to development of new lesions, acute and late toxicity. quality of life, time to start of chemotherapy (luminal patients).
Exploratory analyses: Circulationg tumour DNA as early signs of disease progression.
Immun panel for determination of the effect of SABR on patients´ immune response.
To investigate the survival for each BC subtype (Luminal, HER2+ and TNBC)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival (OS) [3 years after the last patient inclusion]
Time from the date of randomisation to the date of death for any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [3 years after the last patient inclusion]
Time from the date of randomisation to the date of disease progression
- Local Control Rate (LCR) [3 years after the last patient inclusion]
Time from the date of randomisation to the date of progress in previously treated metastases
- Safety analysis - acute toxicity [From the first dose of SABR to 3 months after the last dose of SABR]
Reported according to CTCAE v.5.0
- Safety analysis - late toxicity [From the first dose of SABR to 3 years after the last dose of SABR]
Reported according to CTCAE v.5.0

Life expectancy > 6 months.
-
Known ER, PgR and HER2 status of either primary tumour or metastasis (preferred).
-
If measurable lesions, each ≤ 5 cm.

-
Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
-
Concurrent malignancy requiring therapy (excluding non-invasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ).
