Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The target population is very wide, reflecting the pragmatic nature of this study. There will be few inclusion and exclusion criteria. Basically, any person aged over 18 with early breast cancer suitable for breast conserving surgery will be eligible. More specific entry criteria for those aged 45 or less will be defined by a participating institution's multidisciplinary team. Experience to date has indicated that there are many patients who are deemed unsuitable for a course of external beam radiotherapy whose only option is therefore mastectomy; such situations can be difficult to define in advance, and should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Who may be able to join

  • Recommended treatment by MDT
  • Consent has been obtained to have patient data to be collected

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy (females who have a positive pregnancy test prior to surgery)
  • Under 18 years of age

About this study

Official title: TARGIT R: TARGeted Intraoperative radioTherapy (TARGIT) Registry Database

This is a prospectively registered database of patients with early breast cancer who will be treated with radiotherapy during surgery. More than 2000 women have already received this treatment in clinical trials. This study will monitor the health status of women who receive this treatment outside of a clinical trial, especially those who might not have been eligible for the original clinical trials. The aim is to confirm the long-term effectiveness and safety of the technique.

Read the detailed description

Registration of patients selected for this treatment; collecting data regarding safety and toxicity on patients who have had treatment with TARGIT.

Outcomes will be measured over short and long terms. Outcome measures will include effectiveness and safety, assessed in various cohorts of patients. Core outcomes will be used for effectiveness. In addition, true recurrence (basically, ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence at the same site as the original primary) will be used as defined by Recht. Safety outcomes will be based on Common Toxicity Criteria.

Budget impact analysis of IORT in subgroups of patients will be assessed. This amounts to using cost data to calculate the mean incremental (or extra) cost per person treated using intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) versus external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and mastectomies (where IORT could have been given instead) and then multiplying this by the total patients eligible nationally for IORT, to calculate the total expected budget impact on the NHS if IORT in these subgroups was rolled out nationally.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local tumour control (defined as no recurrent tumour in the ipsilateral breast)

    Confirmation that the TARGIT technique results in an acceptably low rate of local recurrence when given outside of a randomised controlled trial.

    Measured: Five years

  2. Adverse events related to the primary treatment of the breast cancer.

    Confirmation that the TARGIT technique results in an acceptably low rate of safety events assessed by CTCAE v4.0 when given outside of a randomised controlled trial.

    Measured: Five years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cost effectiveness

    Confirmation that the TARGIT technique is cost-effective as assessed by both health related quality of life (EQ5D) and cost data.

    Measured: Five years

Individual data sharing
Yes: All requests for data sharing will adhere to the UCL Surgical \& Interventional Trials Unit (SITU) data sharing agreement policy. UCL Medical School is supportive of data sharing and will endeavour to assist in requests for data sharing. These data will be held at UCL on secure servers and will not be released to any third parties until the final study report has been published. All requests for access to the data will be formally requested through the use of a SITU data request form which will state the purpose, analysis and publication plans together with the named collaborators. All requests are dealt with on a case by case basis. All requests will be logged and those successful will have a data transfer agreement which will specify appropriate acknowledgement of the Royal Free Hospital, the sponsor, and funders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Early-Stage Breast Carcinoma, run by University College, London at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nick J Roberts (SITU.TARGITR@ucl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local tumour control (defined as no recurrent tumour in the ipsilateral breast) (time frame: Five years). The study lists 2 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 2 Oct 2019.
