Trial summary

The study is being done to determine the tolerance to single fraction intra-operative electron irradiation (IOERT) and external beam photon irradiation (EBRT) following lumpectomy for T1/T2N0M0 breast cancer. IOERT is used in lieu of the 5-8 days of electron beam boost irradiation that is usually given after EBRT. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Eligibility:

  1. Histologically proven primary invasive breast carcinoma.

About this study

The study is being done to determine the tolerance to single fraction intra-operative electron irradiation (IOERT) and external beam photon irradiation (EBRT) following lumpectomy for T1/T2N0M0 breast cancer. IOERT is used in lieu of the 5-8 days of electron beam boost irradiation that is usually given after EBRT. Data from two centers as well as preliminary data from a randomized trial in Europe suggest that IOERT boost is well tolerated and efficacious. In our study, patients will undergo standard lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node sampling or axillary dissection. After the lumpectomy, IOERT of 10 Gy will be delivered in a single fraction to the tumor bed by a mobile electron machine in the operating room. EBRT to the whole breast will be administered once the surgical wound has healed adequately. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility and acute patient tolerance to IOERT and EBRT after lumpectomy. Secondary objectives include assessment of local control and distant control of disease, as well as evaluation of long-term side effects and cosmetic outcome of the treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Intra-operative radiation to tumor bedRadiation

    IOERT is given to the tumor bed. Applicator selection should allow treatment of the tumor bed plus 1-2 cm margin. The surgical incision may need to be enlarged slightly to allow the placement of the appropriate applicator. The use of more than 1 treatment field is discouraged. In order to encompass the entire tumor bed in 1 treatment field, it may be necessary to suture the mammary parenchyma loosely so that the lateral margins of the tumor bed are brought into apposition. Electron energy used for the treatment. If the tumor bed can be flattened and encompassed by an applicator, 6 MeV electron is recommended. Use of bolus material may be considered to increase the surface dose. If the mammary parenchyma has been brought into apposition by sutures, a higher electron energy may be necessary to allow adequate dose coverage to a depth of 1.0-2.0 cm into the tumor bed. The dose of IOERT is 1000 cGy, prescribed to the 90% isodose line.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the feasibility and acute patient tolerance of IOERT and EBRT after lumpectomy for patients with stage T1/T2N0M0 breast cancer.

    To determine the acute skin reaction, breast edema, pnemonitis, cardiac side effects during radiation using RTOG acute toxicity scale

    Measured: weekly evaluation during 5 weeks of radiation

  2. Determine the local tumor control and distant tumor control rates for patients with stage T1/T2N0M0 breast cancer.

    Measured: every 6 months follow-up for 5 years, then yearly to end in 04/2013

  3. Determine long-term side effects and cosmetic outcome of IOERT to tumor bed and EBRT after lumpectomy for patients with stage T1/T2N0Mo breast cancer.

    To determine the late skin reaction, breast edema, pneumonitis, cardiac side effects during radiation using RTOG late toxicity scale

    Measured: every 6 months follow-up for 5 years, then yearly to end in 04/2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intra-operative radiation to tumor bed in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 3 Apr 2014. 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.

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?

Determine the feasibility and acute patient tolerance of IOERT and EBRT after lumpectomy for patients with stage T1/T2N0M0 breast cancer. (time frame: weekly evaluation during 5 weeks of radiation). The study lists 3 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 3 Apr 2014.
