About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study for Using Radiosurgery on Limited Metastases of Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether radiosurgery, along with standard chemotherapy, immunotherapy (the treatment of cancer by modulating the immune system and immune response), or hormonal therapy, affects the quality and length of life. The standard therapy is surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy alone or in any combination. A second purpose of this study is to determine if the levels of a special type of protein (called cytokines) found in the blood are related to the quality of life while on this treatment.

Read the detailed description

Before treatment begins, you will have a physical exam and blood tests. Physical evaluations and blood tests will be done each week while you are receiving treatment, and at follow-up visits. You will be seen for follow-up evaluations 4 weeks after treatment is completed, and every three months thereafter. You will be asked to fill out a Quality of Life questionnaire, which should take 5-10 minutes to complete. This will be done prior to treatment and at your follow-up visits. You will receive high dose radiation therapy directed at the site of metastasis. This treatment will be given once a day, 5 times a week (Monday through Friday) for one to four weeks depending on the location and size of the disease to be treated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    The percent of patients that survived from date of enrollment until 2 year follow-up visit.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall Survival

    The percent of patients that survived from date of enrollment until 4 year follow-up visit

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Overall Survival

    The percent of patients that survived from date of enrollment until 6 year follow-up visit

    Measured: 6 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percent of Patients With Lesion Local Control

    Lesion local failure was scored as an event if any treated lesion increased by greater than or equal to 20% using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria or local failure was confirmed pathologically. Lesion control includes all participants that did not fall into the category of lesion failure.

    Measured: 6 years

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced a Grade 4 or 5 Toxicity

    Number of participants who experienced a grade 4 or 5 toxicity

    Measured: 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with Breast Cancer, Metastatic, run by University of Rochester 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 2 years). 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?
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 5 Jan 2018.
