About this study

Official title: Phase I-II Study of Concurrent Adjuvant Systemic Therapy and Accelerated Radiotherapy (Over 3 Weeks)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in breast cancer patients after breast surgery.

Read the detailed description

Preliminary experience in the neo-adjuvant setting of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC) has recently demonstrated that hormone receptors negative patients have approximately 50% chance to achieve a pathological response after concurrent chemo-radiation. In a multi-institutional collaboration of 105 patients it was found that triple negative (TN) tumor carriers achieved pathological response in 54% of the cases and that the response reflected on 5-year disease free survival and overall survival. Our group has speculated that these effects on the risk of distant recurrence could depend on the recovery of antitumor immunity among the patients achieving pathological response, after tumor cell death induced by concurrent chemo-radiation.

The investigators are proposing a novel study that translates these findings to the adjuvant setting of TN tumors. TN breast cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease often coinciding with basal-like tumors. BRCA mutated-cancer is more frequently TN.

The current protocol converges the experience NYU has developed in accelerated prone breast radiotherapy with encouraging finding from the use of concurrent chemoradiation in LABC.

The investigators will study the feasibility of combining weekly carboplatin with concurrent 3-weeks prone breast radiotherapy in the adjuvant setting of 35 women with TN tumors, after segmental mastectomy and nodal assessment. Primary endpoint of the study is acute toxicity of the combined regimen, with a target of < 25% of grade II-III dermatitis.

What participants receive

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

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Paraplatin

    IV, weekly for 6 weeks, AUC of 2.0

  • 3D-RT or IMRTRadiation

    From week 2 to week 4 in the 6-week Carboplatin treatment:

    Whole Breast 3D-RT or IMRT at 2.7 Gy X 15 fractions (5 times/wk x 3 wks=40.50 Gy), then the second and third Friday, 3 Gy to the tumor bed only X 2 fractions, Total dose to tumor bed = 46.5 Gy

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Who Developed Grade 2-3 Acute Radiation Dermatitis Within 60 Days Post-RT

    Measured: 60 days post-RT

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients Who Experience Acute Toxicities at or More Than 6 Months After Completion of Radiation Treatment (RT)

    Acute Toxicities include all Grade 1 toxicities

    Measured: 6 months to 5 year post-RT

  2. Number of Patients Who Experience Grade 2 or Higher Late Toxicities at or More Than 6 Months After Completion of Radiation Treatment (RT)

    Measured: 6 months to 5 years post-RT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Carboplatin and 3D-RT or IMRT in people with Breast Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 12 Jan 2021. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients Who Developed Grade 2-3 Acute Radiation Dermatitis Within 60 Days Post-RT (time frame: 60 days post-RT). 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 12 Jan 2021.
