Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving intraoperative radiation therapy after lumpectomy followed by external-beam radiation therapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Intra-operative Electron Irradiation and Hypofractionated External Beam Irradiation After Lumpectomy in Patients With Stage T1N0M0 or T2N0M0 Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving intraoperative radiation therapy after lumpectomy followed by external-beam radiation therapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well radiation therapy works in treating women undergoing lumpectomy for stage I or stage IIA breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the feasibility and acute patient tolerance of intraoperative electron irradiation (IOERT) and hypofractionated external-beam irradiation (HYPORT) after lumpectomy for patients with stage I-IIA breast cancer treated with breast conservation therapy.
  • To determine the local tumor control and distant tumor control rates for patients with stage I-IIA breast cancer treated with breast conservation therapy using IOERT and HYPORT after lumpectomy.
  • To determine the long-term side effects and cosmetic outcome of IOERT to tumor bed and HYPORT after lumpectomy for patients with stage I-IIA breast cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo lumpectomy per standard procedures. Patients undergo intraoperative electron irradiation (IOERT) to the tumor bed right after completion of lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Beginning 2-6 weeks after lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection/sentinel lymph node sampling and IOERT, patients receive hypofractionated external-beam irradiation once daily for 16 days.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3 months, every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually thereafter for 8 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing adjuvant therapy, conventional surgery and hypofractionated radiation therapy in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 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?

Toxicity: Up to 3 months post external beam radiation therapy (time frame: 3 months). 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 10 Aug 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
