The clinical trials listed below are open in the U.S. for people with DCIS (stage 0), stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, or stage 4 (metastatic)
breast cancer. Clinical trials are available for people who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, currently in treatment, experiencing
breast cancer recurrence, living with metastatic disease, as well as breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment.

PHASE: III

NCT ID: NCT04588246

Stereotactic Radiotherapy Alone or with Whole Brain Radiotherapy (Excluding the Hippocampus) & a Dementia Medication for Brain Mets that Returned After Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Phase III Trial of Salvage Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) or SRS + Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) for First or Second Distant Brain Relapse After Upfront SRS With Brain Metastasis Velocity >/= 4 Brain Metastases/Year Scientific Title

Purpose
To compare the anti-cancer activity and side effects of giving stereotactic radiation therapy alone to giving it with an anti-dementia drug and whole-brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus.
Who is this for?
People with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer that has spread to their brain and who have already received stereotactic radiation therapy for brain mets.    Full eligibility criteria
