July 2028
ISRCTN27544579 Active, not recruiting Surgery versus Active Monitoring for LOw RISk Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS (LORIS)) ≥46 years old
Non-high-grade DCIS
  • Endpoint: whether patients with low-risk DCIS can safely avoid surgery and whether patients who do require surgery can be identified by pathological and radiological means

  • Primary outcome measure: Ipsilateral invasive breast cancer-free survival rate at 5 years

March 2030
NCT04916808 Active, recruiting The AUS-PREDICT Registry for DCIS Patients with DCISionRT Testing (AUS-PREDICT)
  • ≥25 years old

  • DCISionRT™ test

  • Extensive DCIS and a small component of invasive disease

  • History of tamoxifen and/or aromatase inhibitor

  • ECOG 0 to 1

  • Endpoint: change in the immune microenvironment of high-risk DCIS after immunotherapy.

  • Primary outcome measure: efficacy and safety of intralesional mRNA-2752 administration measured by the change in the MRI tumour size/volume/enhancement

March 2024

  • BCS with clear resection margins ≥ 2 mm or no residual disease on re-excision

  • Oncotype DX DCIS score with a predicted 10-year risk of LR ≤ 10%

  • Endpoint: whether the combination of clinicopathological factors and the use of the Oncotype DX DCIS score can avoid radiation

  • Primary outcome measure: Ipsilateral local recurrence

March 2035
NCT06075953 Active, recruiting DCIS: RECAST Trial -Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Re-Evaluating Conditions for Active Surveillance Suitability as Treatment: a Breast Cancer Prevention Pilot Study
  • ≥18 years old
