Trial summary

This study was started to validate the possibility of administering radiation therapy during surgery to the tissue surrounding the tumor once the tumor has been removed. This surrounding breast tissue is at greater risk for developing breast recurrences. Read more about this study

About this study

This study was started to validate the possibility of administering radiation therapy during surgery to the tissue surrounding the tumor once the tumor has been removed. This surrounding breast tissue is at greater risk for developing breast recurrences. This treatment may be as effective as the conventional 5-6week radiation treatment in reducing the risk of further local recurrences after breast-conserving surgery.

Through this study, we would like to confirm that this procedure is a safe alternative to conventional breast radiation, with no additional side effects when compared with the conventional surgery and radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

This pilot trial will evaluate the feasibility of intra operative radiation therapy (IORT) given in one fraction at the time of wide local excision as the only adjuvant radiation treatment in a group of patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer.

This study will enroll 60 women, older than 60 years of age, with breast cancer not more than 2 cm in size and without evident additional tumoral foci around the tumor or in other areas of the breast. An MSK radiologist will review your mammography to be sure you qualify for this study. You may be asked to undergo additional mammography or other examinations, such as breast ultrasound in order to verify that the tumor is located in a single quadrant of the breast. Some of these procedures are routinely performed in all candidates for conservative breast surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine tissue tolerance of the breast to a single intraoperative course of radiation. (time frame: 7 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Dec 2015.
