About this study

Official title: Cyberknife Radiosurgery for Early Stage Breast Cancer: A Winthrop-University Hospital Pilot Study of Cyberknife Partial Breast Radiosurgery for Tumors 3 cm or Less

This phase II study based on the Cyberknife Society study will evaluate the technical feasibility and acute toxicity of Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) with the Cyberknife. It will evaluate quality of life (QOL) issues as they relate to treatment-related side effects, cosmetic result and patient convenience. It will evaluate outcome in terms of local control in the treated breast.

Radiosurgery is defined as the stereotactic delivery of ionizing radiation in 5 stages or less to a designated target with sub-millimeter accuracy. Radiosurgery in the context of this protocol will be given to the region of the tumor bed with 7 weeks of the lumpectomy and sent/axillary node sampling over the period of five to ten days using the Cyberknife (CK) or within the 7 weeks of the last chemotherapy treatment if given.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local Control Rate

    Mastectomy-free survival rate after Cyberknife body radiosurgery [Mastectomy and death will be considered failures]

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Complication Rate

    Rate of complications or toxicities after Cyberknife body radiosurgery (including skin reactions to radiotherapy and any acute complications or unusual side effects) will be measured via physician's observation and via toxicity reports.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Score on The Harvard/NSABP/RTOG Breast Cosmesis Scale.

    4 Point Scale (I-IV): I. Excellent: When compared with the untreated breast, there is minimal or no difference in the size or shape of the treated breast. II. Good: There is a slight difference in the size or shape of the treated breast as compared with the opposite breast or the original appearance of the treated breast. There may be some mild reddening or darkening of the breast. The thickening or scar tissue III. Fair: Obvious difference in the size and shape of the treated breast. This change involves one-quarter or less of the breast. IV. Poor: Marked change in the appearance of the treated breast involving more than onequarter of the breast tissue. The skin changes may be obvious and detract from the appearance of the breast.

    Measured: Baseline, week 10, and week 26

  3. Measure of self reported quality of life using the QOLS

    41-item survey can be administered by interviewed in person or over the telephone, and it may also be self-administered by respondents with adequate cognitive functioning. The questions are divided into 5 categories-Material and Physical Well-being, Relationships with other People, Social, Community, and Civic Activities, Personal Development and Fulfillment and Recreation.The QOLS is scored by adding up the score on each item to yield a total score for the instrument. Scores can range from 16 to 112.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cyberknife for Early Stage Breast Cancer in people with Early Stage 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 18 Feb 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?

Local Control Rate (time frame: 1 Year). 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 18 Feb 2021.
