About this study

Official title: Feasibility Clinical Trial of Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) and Second Breast-conserving-surgery After Local Recurrence of Breast Carcinoma

The investigators propose a prospective, multicenter, single arm Phase II design to evaluate the feasibility of repeated breast-conserving surgery combined with re- irradiation using IORT after local recurrence of breast carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Currently, the rate of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast- conserving surgery and radiotherapy remains at 10% at 10 years to 15% at 20 years, respectively. IBTR is an independent predictor of poor survival with a 3 to 4.6 increased risk of cancer-related death.

In a heterogeneous population, local control remains a major therapeutic challenge for these relapses, especially those considered of better prognosis, namely occurring late and of low histological grade. Therapeutic de-escalation is possible for these relapses to avoid a mutilating and often traumatic mastectomy.

However, this second conservative surgery has a high rate of second local relapse (19 to 50% at 5 years) due to the absence of a re-irradiation, rendered impossible by the problem of tolerance of previously irradiated tissues.

Retrospective or prospective studies on partial breast irradiation (PBI) in adjuvant setting report promising results, both in terms of tolerance (saving healthy tissue) and local control (74% to 100% at 5 years). Used techniques include brachytherapy, external beam radiotherapy and intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT).

IORT is now the subject of renewed interest in breast cancer. It has the advantages of high-precision ballistics on the operated area and of preservation of healthy tissue. To date, no prospective data, however, have been published in the indication of ipsilateral breast recurrence.

A prospective, multicenter, single arm Phase II design will evaluate the feasibility of repeated breast-conserving surgery combined with re- irradiation using IORT after local recurrence of breast carcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • tumorectomyProcedure or surgery

    Tumorectomy will be performed according to the current standards, obtaining "clear" margins. The axillary lymph node control will depend on the initial management (clinical and ultrasound) of these N0 patients, chosen by the teams.

  • Intra Operative RadiotherapyRadiation

    After the excision of the tumor, IORT will be delivered. A single dose of 20 Gy by 50 kV photons (Intrabeam™) will be administered in tumor bed. The addition of IORT does not modify the surgical procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. The Tolerance of RIOP (Intra Operative Radiotherapy) in Patients With Delayed Local Recurrences, After a Second Conservative Treatment of Breast Cancer

    Fibrosis rate of RIOP grade 2 at 12 months of IORT (Intra Operative Radiotherapy) according to NCI CTCAE v4.0 classification grade 0 is the better outcomes Grade >= 2 is the worse outcomes

    Measured: Up to 12 months post radiation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of Early and Late Toxicities

    Rate of Early toxicities (Hematoma, Lymphorrhea, Breast infection) Late toxicities (telangiectasia, breast pain, skin hyperpigmentation, skin ulceration, skin atrophy) grade 0 is the better outcomes

    Measured: from the baseline to 5 years after treatment

  2. Local Relapse-free Survival

    Number of patient with or without the apparition of local relapse

    Measured: from the baseline to 5 years after treatment

  3. Metastasis Relapse-free Survival

    number of patient with and without the apparition of metastatic relapse.

    Measured: from the baseline to 5 years after treatment

  4. Disease-free Survival.

    Number of patient with and without a relapse

    Measured: from the baseline to 5 years after treatment

  5. Overall Survival

    number de patient dead

    Measured: from the baseline to 5 years after treatment

  6. Free Interval Without Mastectomy.

    Number of patient with a mastectomy during the study and follow up

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Tolerance of RIOP (Intra Operative Radiotherapy) in Patients With Delayed Local Recurrences, After a Second Conservative Treatment of Breast Cancer (time frame: Up to 12 months post radiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02386371, which also lists 74 linked publications.

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.
