  • Ages 50 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Female Age ≥ 50 years at diagnosis
  • Grade 1-3 invasive ductal, mucinous, tubular, colloidal, or pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) measuring ≤ 2cm (clinical stage T1).

  • Pathologically node negative Note: For patients with T1a, T1b, T1c invasive breast cancer (except T1mi), an axillary staging procedure should be performed (either sentinel lymph node biopsy alone or axillary dissection and the axillary node must be pathologically negative). Patients with N0 (i+) tumors on sentinel lymph node mapping or dissection (i.e., if the tumor deposit is 0.2mm or less as determined by immunohistochemistry or hematoxylin and eosin staining) will also be eligible.

  • Willingness to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study).
  • Willing to provide tissue and blood samples for correlative research purposes
  • Willing to sign consent onto the Mayo Clinic Radiotherapy Patient Outcomes Registry and Biobanking study, IRB number 15-000136

Who cannot join

  • Any of the following because this study involves therapy that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects:
  • Pregnant women
  • Nursing women
  • Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Prior history of ipsilateral breast cancer
Show all 22Show fewer
  • Prior radiation therapy to the ipsilateral breast or thorax
  • Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens.
  • Active collagen-vascular disease that, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make this protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient.
  • Paget's disease of the breast
  • Proven multicentric carcinoma (DCIS or invasive) in more than one quadrant or separated by 4 or more centimeters or diffuse (>1 quadrant) suspicious calcifications
  • Histologic evidence of angiolympatic invasion (ALI). Note: Cases termed focally suspicious for ALI but where no definitive ALI is found are eligible.
  • Surgical margins that cannot be microscopically assessed or that are positive
  • Pathologic tumor >2cm in size
  • Metastatic disease
  • Patients for whom the delivery of APBI is not feasible or any of the dosimetric treatment criteria in section 9.7 have not been met.
  • BRCA 1/2 mutation Note: Patients are not required to undergo BRCA1 and BRCA2 or other genetic mutation tests in order to enroll on the study. However, in the event a patient is tested and is found to be a mutation carrier, she would be excluded from the study.
  • Breast implants (patients who have had implants removed are eligible).
  • Extensive intraductal component
  • Active connective tissue disease
  • Reduction mammoplasty if 3DCRT or proton APBI are planned
  • Last surgery >10 weeks from enrollment

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Accelerated 3 Fraction Photon and Proton Partial Breast External Beam Radiotherapy and Partial Breast Brachytherapy for Early Invasive and Noninvasive Breast Cancer

This is an open label phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel 3 fraction daily dosing regimen for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) for early invasive and noninvasive breast cancer. The three techniques utilized are recognized as standard options for the delivery of APBI, and there is no evidence that either technique is superior or inferior to any other. The APBI technique utilized will be at the physician's discretion and will be based on technical considerations, availability at the treating radiation facility, insurance coverage, as well as patient preference.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the Rate of Adverse Cosmesis (Defined as Fair or Poor Cosmesis) Compared to Baseline Using the Harvard Cosmetic Rating:

    Participants end up being rated as fair or poor cosmesis from baseline.

    Excellent: treated breast nearly identical to untreated breast Good: treated breast slightly different than untreated (minimal but identifiable effects of the treated breast) Fair: Treated breast clearly different from untreated but not seriously distorted (significant radiation effects readily observable) Poor: Treated breast seriously distorted (severe sequelae of breast tissue secondary to radiation effects)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brachytherapy APBI, 3D-CRT (photon) APBI and Proton APBI in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 sites 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 15 inclusion and 22 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 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 phase mean?

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 1 Aug 2023). 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?

Change in the Rate of Adverse Cosmesis (Defined as Fair or Poor Cosmesis) Compared to Baseline Using the Harvard Cosmetic Rating: (time frame: Baseline, 3 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 19 Sep 2024.
