About this trial

A multi-centre, randomised study, to determine the feasibility of recruiting men and women with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer to a study with a baseline MRI scan followed by randomising to surveillance by two further six-monthly MRI scans versus no further surveillance of the brain. Qualitative research (focus groups and/or interviews) and monitoring of approach and consent with SEAR framework will be embedded within the trial to achieve the primary endpoint and explore challenges with study implementation and delivery.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of eligible participants agreeing to undergo screening and randomisation to surveillance versus no surveillance brain MRI.

Feasibility of recruitment, measured as the proportion of approached eligible patients who consent to participate in a study involving baseline brain MRI and randomisation to CNS surveillance versus no surveillance.

Time frame
Up to 24 months (from first participant approach until recruitment completion, defined as 69 participants consented or 193 participants approached, whichever occurs first)
