REGISTRY DESIGN

  • Multicenter, non-randomized, post market registry of intracavitary accelerated partial breast irradiation in appropriately selected patients.

SAMPLE SIZE AND SITES:

  • Approximately 400 patients may be enrolled.
  • Up to 100 qualified U.S. sites may participate in this registry.

ENDPOINTS:

  1. PRIMARY ENDPOINTS
  • Subcutaneous Toxicities - The incidence of signs and symptoms of subcutaneous toxicities will be recorded at the following follow-up visits; at six (6) month, one (1) year, two (2) year, three (3) year, four (4) year, and five (5) year.
  • Skin Toxicities - Specific toxicities that can result from radiation therapy will be recorded at each follow-up visit. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events will be used and to be recorded at each follow-up visits; at one (1) month, six (6) month, one (1) year, two (2) year, three (3) year, four (4) year, and five (5) year.
  • Cosmetic Outcome - Cosmetic outcome will be recorded at the following follow-up visits; at one (1) month, six (6) month, one (1) year, two (2) year, three (3) year, four (4) year, and five (5) year. Cosmetic outcome will be assessed and graded in two ways:
  • Patient Quality of Life Questionnaire - A Quality of Life Questionnaire (QOL) will be completed at the following visits; at one (1) month, six (6) month, one (1) year, two (2) year, three (3) year, four (4) year, and five (5) year.
  1. SECONDARY ENDPOINTS
  • Local-regional Breast Failure - The secondary efficacy endpoint is ipsilateral breast failure at five (5) years. This includes:
  • Ipsilateral recurrence within the initially treated volume. (Within the tumor bed)
  • Ipsilateral recurrence of cancer outside of the initially treated volume. (Elsewhere Failure)
  • Axillary nodal recurrence
  • Survival - to be recorded at each follow-up visit
  • Overall Survival
  • Disease Free Survival
  • Device Performance - to be recorded during the balloon applicator placement and during the course of the radiation treatments:
  • Ability to deliver treatment
  • Axxent System / Balloon Applicator performance
  1. TREATMENT DEVICE

The device to be used is the electronic brachytherapy system for the treatment of early stage breast cancer with intracavitary accelerated partial breast irradiation. The device manufacturer is Xoft, Incorporated. All Xoft technology cleared by the FDA for the treatment of early stage breast cancer can be used in this post market data collection registry.

OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

Representatives from American Brachytherapy Society (ABS), American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS), and American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO)will oversee study management.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Electronic BrachytherapyRadiation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of signs and symptoms of subcutaneous toxicities will be recorded at the following follow-up visits; six month, one year, two year, three year, four year, and five year.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Local-regional Breast Failure - Ipsilateral breast failure at five years, Including: Ipsilateral recurrence within the initially treated volume, Ipsilateral recurrence of cancer outside of the initially treated volume, and axillary nodal recurrence

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Electronic Brachytherapy and Intracavitary accelerated partial breast irradiation in people with Breast Cancer and Carcinoma, run by Xoft, Inc. at 8 sites 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 17 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The incidence of signs and symptoms of subcutaneous toxicities will be recorded at the following follow-up visits; six month, one year, two year, three year, four year, and five year. (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00742222, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 May 2016.
