About this study

Official title: A Dose Escalation Study of Proton and Carbon Ion Irradiation for HER2 Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancer After Breast Conserving Surgery

Adjuvant radiotherapy is the standard treatment for early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery. Molecular subtypes was significantly associated with the risk of local recurrence of breast cancer. Nguyen et al found that the overall 5-year cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 0.8% for luminal A, 1.5% for luminal B, 8.4% for HER2 positive, and 7.1% for triple negative breast cancer after lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Her2 positive and triple negative breast cancers may be inherently radioresistant.

Therefore, for HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancer with high local recurrence and radiation resistance, proton combined with carbon ion is proposed after breast conserving surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute toxicity

    Treatment related acute toxicity assessed by CTCAE v4.03

    Measured: 3 months after the completion of CIRT

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Local regional recurrence

    The Ipsilateral breast and regional lymph nodes recurrence

    Measured: within 5 years after radiotherapy.

  2. Cosmetic outcome as measured by Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale

    Cosmetic outcome will be evaluated by Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale filled out by patients.

    Measured: within 5 years after radiotherapy.

  3. Cosmetic outcome as measured by BCCT.core software

    Patients' photographs of the breasts will be taken. With the use of BCCT.core software from The Breast Research group (INESC TEC) cosmetic outcome will be assessed.

    Measured: within 5 years after radiotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing proton plus carbon ion radiotherapy in people with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 20 Jan 2023. 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute toxicity (time frame: 3 months after the completion of CIRT). 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 20 Jan 2023.
