Study summary

For patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer, the current debate is whether local surgery can improve the survival of patients. There is no clinical study on the classification after systemic treatment of de novo stage IV breast cancer patients. In fact, the clinical stage of tumor can change with the change of treatment. For example, the stage Ⅲ of locally advanced breast cancer can down-staging to the stage Ⅱ after systemic treatment. Similarly, patients with stage Ⅳ can down-staging to stage Ⅱ or stage Ⅲ after systemic treatment. At this time, the patient can receive surgical treatment. Therefore, this study is to first treat de novo stage IV breast cancer patients with systemic treatment, according to the response after systemic treatment to give different treatment measures(surgery or continued systemic treatment). The investigators hope that this study will provide new ideas for the treatment of de novo stage IV breast cancer and other de novo stage IV cancers.

Read the detailed description

This study analysed and summarized the outcomes of the primary and metastatic lesions after first-line systemic therapy in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer and then inferred the timing of surgical treatment. According to the tumour heterogeneity characteristics between the primary and metastatic tumours, the investigators investigated the following A, B and C scenarios. After systemic therapy in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer, the outcomes of primary and metastatic lesions were mainly divided into four categories (Fig. 1a, b, c, d). It is worth noting that after treatment, the four conditions of a, b, c, and d may alternate with the progression of the tumour or modification of the treatment plan. Therefore, only a proactive evaluation and timely treatment can identify the time window for tumour treatment. The time window for surgical treatment is important because, once missed, the tumour may progress with new metastatic lesions. Figure 1-a: Imaging study indicates complete remission of primary and metastatic tumours. Diagnostic surgical treatment can be performed to determine whether a pathologic complete response (PCR) is achieved and to develop a subsequent treatment plan. Figure 1-b: Imaging study indicates complete remission of the metastatic tumour with residual primary tumour. The state of the patient in this scenario could be equivalent to that of patients with early resectable breast cancer. Surgical treatment of the primary tumour should be promptly performed. Figure 1-c: Complete remission of the primary and residual metastatic tumour. Surgical treatment can be selected for isolated and resectable metastatic tumour. Figure 1-d: No remission or even progression of the primary and metastatic tumours. The systemic treatment plan should be replaced, and the surgical treatment should not be considered.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival (OS), which defined as the time from the beginning of diagnosis of breast cancer to the death with any causes.

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Distant progression free survival

    Distant disease free survival (D-DFS), which defined as the time from the diagnosis of de novo stage IV breast cancer to the confirmed time of distant progression, or death due to any other cause.

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Locoregional progression free survival

    Defined as time between the time of diagnosis and the time of locoregional recurrence, or death occurred.

    Time frame: 5 years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Aug 2022; primary completion for Dec 2030, 100 months later.

Of 2,272 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69. This study's planned 100 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,345 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 19, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
