Trial summary

In summary, breast conserving therapy (BCT) is an effective, save and widely used treatment technique for early breast cancer. Radiotherapy has shown to give better local control and survival benefit and is an integrated part of BCT. Read more about this study

About this study

In summary, breast conserving therapy (BCT) is an effective, save and widely used treatment technique for early breast cancer. Radiotherapy has shown to give better local control and survival benefit and is an integrated part of BCT. The simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique is a new treatment technique in breast irradiation. In this technique the whole breast is irradiated simultaneous with boosting the tumour bed, as part of BCT. Late radiation-induced toxicity has not been investigated in patients treated with radiotherapy using this technique. Proposed study will study the late radiation-induced toxicity, describe patients-rated complaints, quality of life, survival and local control curves in patients treated for early breast cancer with breast-conserving surgery in combination with radiotherapy with the SIB technique as compared to sequential radiotherapy treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher)

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: At 1 year after completion of radiation therapy

  2. Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher)

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: At 2 years after completion of radiation therapy

  3. Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher)

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: At 3 years after completion of radiation therapy

  4. Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher)

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: At 4 years after completion of radiation therapy

  5. Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher)

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: At 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall survival

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

  2. Patient-rated symptoms

    Questionnaire: BCSCQ

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

  3. Quality of life in breast cancer patients treated with radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery

    Questionnaires: European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life - Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), Quality of Life Questionnaire - Breast Cancer Module (QLQ-BR23) and Adult Comorbidity Evaluation (ACE-27)

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

  4. Recurrence (local)

    Assessed by Mammography, MRI (optional). If indicated: chest X-ray, bone scan, ultrasound

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

  5. Recurrence (regional)

    Assessed by Mammography, MRI (optional). If indicated: chest X-ray, bone scan, ultrasound

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

  6. Recurrence (distant metastasis)

    Assessed by Mammography, MRI (optional). If indicated: chest X-ray, bone scan, ultrasound

    Measured: At 1,2,3,4 and 5 years after completion of radiation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 28 Feb 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 Netherlands. 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?

Late radiation-induced toxicity (grade 2 or higher) (time frame: At 1 year after completion of radiation therapy). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Feb 2024.
