Brief Summary
This study assesses if metastasis-directed radiation therapy (Stereotactic body radiation therapy - SBRT) can delay a change in systemic therapy, and if circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream can help guide treatment options in metastatic breast cancer patients with progressive disease

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Freedom from a change in systemic therapy (FCST) - overall
FCST is defined as no change in systemic therapy at 6 months after radiotherapy and patient survival at 6 months after radiotherapy. Treatment failure would indicate that there is no longer stability of systemic therapy (and thereby requires a change in systemic therapy to a different agent).
6 months
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Freedom from a change in systemic therapy (FCST) - ER+/PR±/HER2- (Subgroup A)
6 months
Freedom from a change in systemic therapy (FCST) - HER2 (Subgroup B)
6 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Up to 5 years
Overall survival (OS)
Up to 5 years
Quality of life - EQ-5D-5L
Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)
Metastatic Breast Cancer
EXPERIMENTALBreast cancer patients with ER+/PR± (any PR status)/HER2- disease or HER2+ disease (any ER or PR status) will receive radiotherapy that consists primarily of Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), but at a minimum, it will consist of dose-escalated, moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (as opposed to conventional fractionation or conventional palliative treatment regimens).
Interventions
Undergo blood sample collection
Patients complete the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level Version (EQ-5D-5L) survey and "Was it Worth It" questionnaire.
Patients receive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), metastasis-directed radiation therapy .
Undergo CT, MRI and/or PET/CT

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Histological confirmation of primary breast cancer.
- Patients with metastatic breast cancer and at least 12 months of clinical response to first-line systemic therapy, with the subsequent development of 1-3 extracranial sites of oligoprogressive disease, and who plan for the continuation of the current systemic therapy.
- NOTE: patients with de novo metastatic disease and those developed metastatic disease after initially localized disease can both be included.
- Patients with metastatic breast cancer and at least 6 months of clinical response to second-line systemic therapy (or further, e.g., third- or fourth-line), with the subsequent development of 1-3 extracranial sites of oligoprogressive disease.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) ≤ 2.
- Negative urine or serum pregnancy test done ≤ 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only.
- Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance.
- Provide written informed consent.
- Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study).
- Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research purposes.
- Receiving radiation therapy as specified in the protocol.
You may not qualify if:
- Male patients.
- Nursing or pregnant women.
- Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception.
- Patients with triple negative disease (negative for ER, PR, and HER2).
- Active second primary malignancy
- More than 3 extracranial sites of oligoprogressive disease
- Active CNS disease. Patients with asymptomatic and stable, treated CNS lesions (radiation and/or surgery and/or other CNS-directed therapy who have not received corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks) are allowed.
- Active connective tissue disease that is felt by the treatment team to pose an excess risk of toxicity.
- Prior radiation that overlaps with the intended treatment volume such that, in the opinion of the patient's Radiation Oncologist, radiotherapy to progressing sites will not be safe.
- NOTE: patients with some dose overlap with prior radiotherapy that is deemed safe by the patient's Radiation Oncologist can be included in the trial.
