About this study

Official title: Lumpectomy Followed By Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy (IOERT) As A Single, Full Dose Partial Breast Irradiation For Early Stage, Node Negative, Invasive Breast Cancer

The overall objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and tolerability of single dose Intraoperative Electron Radiation Treatment ("IOERT") as definitive therapy when administered at the time of breast conserving surgery for patients with early stage breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Evaluate local and distant recurrence rates and cosmetic outcomes. Both clinical evaluation of cosmetic outcome by the Surgeon, and subjective impression of cosmetic outcome by the patient, are evaluated using questionnaire.

Local recurrence is evaluated under the same imaging protocol used for Whole breast radiation.

Being tested
Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy

What participants receive

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

  • Intraoperative Electron RadiotherapyRadiation

    Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy (IOERT) is delivered after completion of the lumpectomy and sentinel node procedure.

Study groups in NCT01960803
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IOERT armExperimentalIntraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is delivered after completion of the lumpectomy and sentinel node procedure. IOERT is performed on a mobile self-shielded magnetron-driven X-band linear accelerator specifically developed for use in the operating room. This machine produces megavoltage electron beams of energy ranging between 4 and 12 MeV. The radiation is delivered from the device to the tumor bed through an attached applicator. A single dose of 21 Gy calculated to the 90% depth posterior to the tumor bed will be administered and will last approximately 2.5 minutes.
Receives: Radiation: Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate change over time on the incidence of local and distance recurrence rates.

    Subjects will be followed for recurrence rates at one month, three months, six months, twelve months, and then annually for up to 10 years. This will include: history and physical exam, as well as radiographic images at physician discretion and per study protocol.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually for 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate changes in the short-term and long-term side effects related to IOERT

    Assessment of the overall patient satisfaction related to the therapy and cosmetic outcome. Cosmesis will be scored by both the physician and patient using the RTOG cosmesis rating system at one month, three months, six months, twelve months, and 24 months. The secondary outcome measure will only take place in the first two years of the 10 year time frame for patient follow up. After 24 month evaluations, patients will only be followed for incidence of local and distance recurrence rates.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually for 10 years.

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted11 Oct 2013 (estimated)
  2. Study start1 May 2013
  3. Primary completion3 Jun 2019
  4. Study completion5 Jul 2019

Why it stopped: IOERT is no longer an experimental treatment and was now offered as SOC to patients experiencing IBC. As this therapy is being offered to them regardless of study participation at numerous institutions across the country.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy in people with Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer and Carcinoma Breast Stage I, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 13 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 Oct 2024. 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?

To evaluate change over time on the incidence of local and distance recurrence rates. (time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually for 10 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 4 Oct 2024.
