Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving CT-guided accelerated radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Image Guided Preoperative Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (PAPBI): Defining Radiotherapy Sensitivity

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving CT-guided accelerated radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying giving radiation therapy followed by surgery to see how well it works in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • is to investigate the impact of a short fractionated schedule given preoperatively on local control, cosmesis and breast fibrosis.
  • To further design optimal treatment strategies for individual breast cancer patients treated with breast-conserving therapy (BCT) on the basis of biological parameters, including the expression profile of the primary tumor, for both m-RNA as for micro-RNA, with first, a focus on radiotherapy responsiveness and second, on local recurrence rate, distant metastases and survival.
  • proteomics will be studied in fine-needle aspiration samples. A classifier can be build (genomic or proteomic or any kind of molecular signature) to identify responders and non-responders
  • quality of life

OUTLINE: Patients undergo image-guided preoperative accelerated partial-breast irradiation (PAPBI) 10 times over 12 days (10 x 4 Gy) and later in the study 5 times 6 Gy. Six weeks after completion of image-guided PAPBI, patients undergo surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • biopsyProcedure or surgery

    before treatment a biopsy will be taken to confirm breast cancer type

  • fine-needle aspirationProcedure or surgery

    at FNA tumor material will be collected and fresh frozen for micro-analyses; parafin embedded tissue will bestored for tissue-array analysis

  • accelerated partial breast irradiationRadiation

  • image-guided radiation therapyRadiation

What is being measured

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

  1. local recurrence

    Local recurrences should not exceed 4% at 5 years of follow-up

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. breast fibrosis

    decrease from 27% as found in the boost arm of the EORTC boost-no boost trial to 15%

    Measured: 5 years

  2. cosmetic outcome

    is anticipated that the overall score for cosmetic outcome will be superior compared to conventional whole breast postoperative radiotherapy plus boost.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Pathological response

    Measured: 6 weeks after finishing iradiation treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biopsy, fine-needle aspiration and accelerated partial breast irradiation in people with Breast Cancer, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 27 Sep 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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?

local recurrence (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 NCT01024582, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Sep 2017.
