Scientific title | HER-PCI: prospective randomised clinical trial testing the role of prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients treated with Trastuzmab (Herceptin) for metastatic breast cancer |
Study acronym | HER-PCI |
Study objectives | Does Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) delivering 30 Gy in ten fractions significantly reduce the incidence of symptomatic brain metastases in patients treated with Trastuzamab (Herceptin) for metastatic breast cancer? Please note that as of 12/09/2008, the actual start date of this trial was 28th March 2007. At this time, the sponsor details were also updated. The previous sponsor was Greater Glasgow Health Board (UK). |
Ethics approval(s) | West Glasgow Ethics Committee 1 on the 3rd October 2006 (ref: 06/S0703/108) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Metastatic breast cancer |
Intervention | Control arm: baseline Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain is required. Experimental arm: baseline MRI of brain is required. PCI will be delivered to the whole brain giving 30 Gy in ten fractions daily. PCI will be deferred on any day that chemotherapy or Trastuzemab is administered. |
