Basket Study for Oligo-metastatic Breast Cancer

The study will include patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and 1- 3 distant metastatic lesions, all amenable for curative intervention. Patients will be stratified by prior therapy and ER expression. Given the basket-design of this trial other baskets for oligo-metastatic breast cancer can be added, such as but not limited to other breast cancer subtypes or with other promising drugs.

Baskets for de novo oligo-metastatic disease I. ER+/HER2+ II. ER-/HER2+ Baskets for oligo-metastatic disease after prior chemo/anti-HER2 therapy for primary disease III. ER+/HER2+ IV. ER-/HER2+

Inclusion criteria

• Histologic proof of infiltrating HER2-positive breast cancer (as determined by IHC 3+ and/or amplification by ISH)[8]
• Histologic or cytologic proof of breast cancer metastases (at least one lesion)
• Histologic determination of level of ER-expression
• Oligo-metastatic disease as determined by standard of care diagnostics. The number of total individual distant metastases is limited to five, either in one organ or in 2-5 organ systems. Clustered lymph nodes that can be irradiated with curative intent in a single field are defined as single lesion. Pleuritis carcinomatosa, miliary spread of metastases (even within one organ), or peritoneal spread of metastases rules out oligo-metastatic disease and is not allowed. Initial staging by PET-CT (whole body) and MRI of breast and brain are mandatory, as is MRI liver or spine and pelvis in case of liver or bone metastases respectively.
• In case of recurrent disease, a disease-free interval of 24 months.
• Measurable disease according to RECIST1.1
• Patients must be at least 18 years of age and be able to give written informed consent and comply with study procedures.
• World Health Organization (WHO) performance status 0 or 1

Exclusion criteria

• prior line of therapy for metastatic disease. Exceptions are endocrine therapy or radiation considered to be part of the curative treatment, within 3 months before enrolment
• leptomeningeal disease or central nervous metastases
• clinically relevant obstruction or compression of spinal cord, central nervous, gastro-intestinal or cardiovascular system, that cannot be alleviated before start of treatment.
• other malignancy, unless treated with curative intention and a long-term survival probability of >95%, including in-situ or pre-malignant lesions.
