Trial summary

This is a pilot study to determine if partial breast irradiation (PBI) limited to the region of the tumor bed following lumpectomy in patients screened with MRI provides historically similar rates of local failure, limited acute skin toxicity, late complications and cosmetic outcome when compared to patients treated… 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.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Stage 0 or I breast carcinoma
  • 40 years or older
  • Post menopausal
  • Lumpectomy with clear margins (>2mm)
  • Patients with invasive disease must have undergone an axillary staging by axillary dissection (with a minimum of 6 axillary nodes) or sentinal node biopsy
  • Gross disease must be unifocal with pathological tumor size 2cm or less
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Target lumpectomy cavity must be clearly marked with surgical clips (the target lumpectomy cavity/whole breast reference volume must be <=30% based on the postoperative imaging)
  • Bilateral MRI of the breasts within previous 6 months of radiation therapy (RT) planning
  • If patient is eligible based on postoperative imaging, partial breast irradiation (PBI) is judged to be technically deliverable
  • Patients with a history of malignancies are eligible if they have stable disease as determined by their attending oncologist
  • Patient must have signed the consent form

Who cannot join

  • Men are not eligible
  • Patients with Stage II, II, or IV breast cancer
  • Pre- or peri-menopausal patients
  • Patients with positive lymph nodes
  • Patients with suspicious microcalcifications, densities, or palpable abnormalities unless biopsied and found to be benign
  • Patients with multifocal, multicentric, or bilateral breast cancer
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Surgical margins that cannot be microscopically assessed or are positive at pathological evaluation
  • Patients with a history of breast cancer
  • Clear delineation of the extent of the target lumpectomy cavity is not possible
  • Breast implants (patients who have had implants removed are eligible)
  • Prior breast or thoracic RT for any condition

About this study

Official title: Image Guided Partial Breast Irradiation (PBL) In A Low-Risk Population Screened With Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

This is a pilot study to determine if partial breast irradiation (PBI) limited to the region of the tumor bed following lumpectomy in patients screened with MRI provides historically similar rates of local failure, limited acute skin toxicity, late complications and cosmetic outcome when compared to patients treated with standard 3D-CRT to the whole breast.

What participants receive

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

  • Partial Breast IrradiationRadiation

    Partial breast irradiation will be administered using a 3D conformal external beam RT technique. Two fractions of 38.5 Gy separated by at least 6 hours will be given on 5 treatment days over a period of 5 to 10 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rates of toxicity (breast edema/pain, hyperpigmentation, erythema) for patients receiving partial breast irradiation (PBI) compared to historical rates of toxicity of patients receiving whole breast irradiation (WBI)

    Measured: During radiation therapy (5-10 days)

  2. Rates of toxicity (breast edema/pain, hyperpigmentation, erythema) for patients receiving PBI compared to historical rates of toxicity of patients receiving WBI

    Measured: Post therapy (until death)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Survival Rates

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Cosmetic outcomes of breast PBI

    Comparison of cosmetic results (appearance, size, shape, texture, scaring) of breast treated with PBI to untreated breast.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Partial Breast Irradiation in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Chicago 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 11 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Rates of toxicity (breast edema/pain, hyperpigmentation, erythema) for patients receiving partial breast irradiation (PBI) compared to historical rates of toxicity of patients receiving whole breast irradiation (WBI) (time frame: During radiation therapy (5-10 days)). 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 4 Mar 2014.
