About this study

Official title: Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) for Prone Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI)

Partial breast irradiation (PBI) is becoming a new paradigm for breast cancer radiation.[1] No type I or II evidence is currently available to demonstrate equivalence to standard whole breast radiotherapy, and a prospective randomized trial jointly sponsored by NSABP and RTOG (NSABP B-39 and RTOG 0413) is currently accruing patients, comparing whole breast radiotherapy to PBI, either by brachytherapy or external beam techniques (EB). Until the results of this or similar trials are available, PBI remains a research domain, and it should be offered to patients only in the context of a clinical experimental protocol.

Read the detailed description

Despite the fact that less extensive experience than that of brachytherapy is available, PBI delivery through an external-beam has many advantages. First of all, it is likely to be more acceptable to the patient since it is non-invasive and it does not require a surgical procedure or anesthesia. Moreover, since it is delivered after surgery, the pathological analysis of the segmental mastectomy specimen is available to inform the selection of the best candidates. In addition, EB-PBI is likely to become more widely reproducible, since it does not rely on the experience and skills of the radiation oncologist performing the brachytherapy implant. Besides, once the technique is established, it can be widely applied at any facility provided with a linear accelerator, without the risk presented by some brachytherapy approaches that can not be completed because of the unfavorable interplay of patient's anatomy with the technical limitations of the applicator. Finally, in terms of health care economics, an external beam approach spares the costs of an extra surgical procedure and that of several days of hospitalization (in the case of LDR brachytherapy).

What participants receive

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

  • IGRT for prone partial breast irradiation (PBI)Other

    Also called IGRT, PBI

    IGRT for prone partial breast irradiation (PBI): All patients will be treated prone with 6 Gy/fraction delivered in 5 fractions over a 1-week period for a total dose of 30 Gy. Simulation and treatment will be started within 50 days from surgery in order to maximize the chances of optimal lumpectomy cavity visualization on the planning and cone beam CT scans. All patients will be followed monthly for the first 90 days then q3 months for the first year, then yearly for the next 10 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the outcome of applying IGRT to PBI

    Apply IGRT to PBI as part of breast preservation in post-menopausal women with T1 breast cancers and acquire preliminary data on the role of this tool to assure correct targeting.

    Measure local recurrence within the field of conformal radiation as well as local recurrence outside the field

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Feasibility of accelerated dose fractionation

    Assess the feasibility of an accelerated dose fractionation (600 cGy x 5) when given over five consecutive day by measuring the acute and late radiation toxicity

    Measured: 1 - 10 years

  2. Genetic pre-disposition of patient to post-treatment radiation fibrosis

    Prospectively determine if genetic factors can be identified which may predispose a patient to the development of post-treatment radiation fibrosis

    Measured: 1 - 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IGRT for prone partial breast irradiation (PBI) 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 2 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 14 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.

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?

Measure the outcome of applying IGRT to PBI (time frame: 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 14 Jan 2021.
