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
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients enrolled on this study will be planned for lumpectomy with or without sentinel node biopsy for early stage breast cancer. Patients will be evaluated by a radiation oncologist who specializes in the treatment of breast cancer and will be deemed to be eligible for IORT. Patients with a history of ipsilateral cancer and/or prior in-field radiation are eligible, as IORT would likely be less toxic than repeat whole or partial breast external beam radiation and can allow patients to avoid mastectomy who wish to do so.

Who may be able to join

  • Female gender
  • Age ≥ 45
  • cT1-2N0, <3.5cm invasive breast cancer, estrogen-receptor positive or DCIS of breast, Grade 1-2, mammographically detected, < 2.5 cm, estrogen-receptor positive
  • Suitable for breast conserving surgery
  • No contraindication to radiation
  • Mammogram within 6 months of planned procedure
  • Fitness for lumpectomy under general anesthesia
  • Planned to receive IORT

Who cannot join

  • Known axillary lymph node positive breast cancer (negative biopsy not required)
  • Multicentric cancer in the same breast as diagnosed by clinical examination, mammography, ultrasound, MRI or pathologic assessment, not amenable to excision with negative margins with a single lumpectomy.
  • Patients known to have BRCA 1/2 (breast cancer 1, breast cancer 2) gene
  • Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Pregnancy

About this study

Official title: Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) Using the IntraBeam® System - A Registry Protocol

This registry trial is designed to track the local control rates and side effects of IORT, which will be implemented for women who are suitable partial breast irradiation (PBI) per the latest American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) guidelines.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will be referred for radiation oncology consultation by the operating surgeon. Patients will be presented with all radiation options and if they choose IORT, they will be offered enrollment onto the registry trial and consented accordingly. The registry will collect treatment data from the operation, radiation and pathology notes post IORT for each patient enrolled. Sources of research material, i.e. resected breast tissue and lymph nodes, will be obtained as part of routine clinical care. No additional tissue will be collected from patients due to enrollment on this registry trial. No additional studies will be performed outside of the routine standard of care.

Post treatment, the registry will collect data based on the standard of care follow up schedule. Follow-up visits will be scheduled 2-3 weeks post-operatively, as per standard of care, to review the final pathology and for the initial toxicity assessment. Patients found to have positive margins and/or lymph node involvement may require further surgery and/or additional external beam radiation. Additional follow-up visits with radiation oncology will be scheduled at 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years following IORT. Toxicity will be scored using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. Local control will be evaluated using clinical exam and semi-annual to annual mammograms. All such information will be tracked and recorded into the registry database.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with locally controlled disease

    How many patients have recurrent disease following intra-operative radiation

    Measured: 5 years following radiation therapy

  2. Number of patients with regionally controlled disease

    How many patients have recurrent nodal disease following intra-operative radiation

    Measured: 5 years following radiation therapy

  3. Number of patients with grade 2 or higher toxicities

    How many patients have toxicity as measured by the CTCAE

    Measured: 5 years following radiation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Albert Einstein College of Medicine 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 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jana Fox, MD (718-920-4140, jfox@montefiore.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with locally controlled disease (time frame: 5 years following radiation therapy). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04994067, which also lists 11 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.

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 22 Sep 2026.
