About this study

Official title: Single Fraction Intraoperative Radiotherapy With Electrons: An Option in Breast-Conserving Operable Breast Cancer Stages 0, I and II - Prospective, Single-arm Trial

This clinical trial is being conducted to find out the effects (good and bad) of giving the full radiation treatment for breast cancer as a single dose of radiation during surgery for breast cancer. This single fraction intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons will study the toxicity, local control and cosmetic outcome.

Read the detailed description

For patients with certain types of breast cancer, one standard treatment is breast conserving surgery or lumpectomy (surgery to remove abnormal tissue or cancer from the breast and a small amount of normal tissue around it) followed by breast radiation. The radiation treatment in this situation usually lasts 3 to 5 1/2 weeks followed by 5-8 daily localized irradiation (or boost) treatments at the site where the lump was removed. During this study, the single dose of electron irradiation given at the surgical site during the operation will replace the radiation given after surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Intraoperative RadiotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Also called IORT

    Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is delivered after completion of the lumpectomy and sentinel node procedure. IORT is performed on mobile or fixed linacs with variable electron energies in the range of 6-12 MeV prescribed to a dose of 21 Gy, with the prescription dose covering at least 90% of the Planning Target Volume (PTV). PTV is defined as a 3D volume of 1-2 cm beyond the former macroscopic tumor edge (excluding skin, limit to anterior rib surface: 5 Gy). The choice of electron energy as well as the cone applicator size has to account for minimum PTV requirements. Tissue depth measurement will be documented by intraoperative sonography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity Assessment

    Assessment of acute toxicity of breast irradiation according to CTC-toxicity Scoring - system:

    • End of initial surgical phase: Week 1, 4
    • First Follow-up investigation: Month 2 Assessment of late toxicity according to NSABP scoring-systems at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cosmetic Evaluation

    Assessment of cosmetic outcome according to 5-point scoring system

    • Week 1, 2; Month 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
    • At yearly follow-up (photodocumentation in standardized positions) for 5 years

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Recurrence Assessment

    Recurrence is assessed at month 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraoperative Radiotherapy in people with Invasive Ductal and Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinoma and Stage 0 Breast Carcinoma, run by St. Joseph Hospital of Orange 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 11 May 2022. 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 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?

Toxicity Assessment (time frame: 5 years). 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 11 May 2022.
