Trial summary

RATIONALE: Breast-conserving treatments such as radiation therapy or limited surgery are less invasive than mastectomy and may improve the quality of life.

About this study

Official title: Conservative Local Treatment Versus Mastectomy After Induction Chemotherapy In Locally Advanced Breast Cancer: A Randomized Phase III Study

RATIONALE: Breast-conserving treatments such as radiation therapy or limited surgery are less invasive than mastectomy and may improve the quality of life. It is not yet known if breast-conserving treatments are as effective as mastectomy followed by radiation therapy in treating locally advanced breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of breast-conserving therapy with mastectomy followed by radiation therapy in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer that has been previously treated with chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the overall survival and time to loco-regional failure in women with locally advanced breast cancer treated with breast-conserving local therapy vs mastectomy followed by radiotherapy after they have received prior induction chemotherapy.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, initial stage (T0, T1, T2, T3, or Tx vs T4), response to prior induction chemotherapy (complete response (CR) vs other), and menopausal status (premenopausal vs postmenopausal). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo mastectomy followed by radiotherapy.
  • Arm II: Patients receive breast-conserving treatment comprising 1 of 3 of the following therapeutic options:
  • Regimen A: Patients receive radiotherapy alone.
  • Regimen B: Patients with a partial response (PR) to prior induction chemotherapy undergo limited surgery followed by radiotherapy. Patients with a CR to prior induction chemotherapy undergo radiotherapy alone.
  • Regimen C: Patients with a partial response (PR) or CR to prior induction chemotherapy undergo radiotherapy alone.

Patients with a CR to radiotherapy receive no further treatment. Patients with a PR to radiotherapy undergo limited surgery.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at the end of therapy, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Patients are followed within 1 month, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,300 patients (650 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing conventional surgery and radiation therapy in people with Breast Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 13 sites in 7 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Chile, Israel and 2 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00028704, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2012.
