    Active Comparator

    Arm Label

    ARM 1 - Letrozole and Palbociclib

    ARM 2 - Letrozole and Palbociclib + I-SBRT

    Arm Description

    Patients randomized to arm 1 will start standard Letrozole followed by Palbociclib at day 21.

    Patients randomized to arm 2 will start letrozole alone, and add palbociclib on day 21, after completion of I-SBRT. Treatment may be given daily (to keep the total I-SBRT treatment time to ≤ 12 days) and lesions targeted with I-SBRT will thus be alternated each day to accommodate for the 48 hour interval between fractions.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Number of subjects achieving Objective response rate (ORR) will be assessed.
    ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
    Number of Subjects achieving Progression free survival (PFS)
    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the start of study treatment until the disease progression or death.
    Number of subjects achieving Overall survival(OS) will be assessed.
    OS is defined as the time from the start of treatment until death.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Serial levels of Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)
    serial levels ctDNA can be an early indication of progression
    Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels
    Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels will be measured to determine baseline cancer heterogeneity and its response to treatment

    Brief Summary
    Women with Hormone Receptor (HR)+ Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor (HER)2- metastatic breast cancer are eligible to a randomized trial. Patients receiving standard first line therapy for metastatic HR+ Breast cancer(BC) (letrozole+palbociclib) are randomly assigned to also receive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy(SBRT) to each metastatic lesion.
