About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Intra-operative Electron Irradiation and External Beam Irradiation After Lumpectomy in Patients With Stage T1N0M0 or T2N0M0 Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy during and after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving radiation therapy during and after lumpectomy and to see how well it works in treating women with stage I or stage II breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the feasibility and acute tolerability of intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) and external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) after lumpectomy in women with stage I or II breast cancer treated with breast conservation therapy.
  • To determine the local tumor control and distant tumor control rates in these patients.
  • To determine the long-term side effects and cosmetic outcome of IOERT to the tumor bed and EBRT after lumpectomy in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo standard lumpectomy. Patients with negative lymph nodes undergo intraoperative electron radiotherapy to the tumor bed. Beginning 2-8 weeks after surgery, patients undergo whole breast external beam radiotherapy once daily for 24-27 fractions.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 8 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing adjuvant therapy, therapeutic conventional surgery and intraoperative radiation therapy in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 21 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Feasibility. The study lists 6 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 21 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
