About this study

Official title: Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) Treatment Immediately Following Resection of Early Stage Breast Cancer

This is a physician sponsored multi-center, non-randomized, prospectively enrolling data collection study of patients with early stage breast cancer treated with electronic brachytherapy at the time of surgical resection of the cancer in the operating room. The radiation therapy treatments will be administered with electronic brachytherapy using the FDA cleared Xoft Axxent System.

Read the detailed description

Breast Conserving Therapy (BCT) is a standard treatment option for patients with stage I or II breast cancer. Breast conserving therapy consists of surgical removal of the tumor with negative margins, axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel node biopsy and radiation therapy. Several studies have shown BCT to be comparable to mastectomy in terms of overall and disease free survival for patients. The major advantage to BCT over mastectomy is breast preservation and reduced psychological trauma to the patient. The major disadvantage to BCT is prolonged time of treatment. The whole breast radiation portion of BCT can add 7 weeks to the treatment time. This additional treatment time can be a detriment to women who logistically may not be able to meet the demands of daily irradiation for 6-7 weeks. A new form of treatment, breast brachytherapy, was developed to decrease the treatment time required for breast irradiation. This treatment uses the Xoft Axxent system to administer intra-operative breast brachytherapy in one treatment, at the time of lumpectomy in the operating room.

This study has been designed to assess local recurrence, serious adverse events, adverse events and their severity, and cosmesis following intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) using the Xoft Axxent System and balloon applicators. The study device is FDA cleared. The purpose of this clinical study is to compile data on the treatment of patients using the Xoft Axxent System for the delivery of radiation therapy in the intra-operative setting as part of breast conserving therapy in women with resected, early stage breast cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local recurrence in patients treated with intra-operative electronic brachytherapy for early stage breast cancer.

    Local recurrence will be assessed at one (1) month, six (6) months, one (1) year, two (2) years, three (3) years, four (4) years, and five (5) years post IORT.

    Measured: 5 Years

  2. Occurence of serious adverse events during and following IORT treatment.

    Serious adverse events are defined as a serious injury or illness that:

    1. is life threatening, even if temporary in nature;
    2. results in permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure; or
    3. necessitates medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure.

    Measured: 5 Years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cosmesis

    Cosmesis will be evaluated with the Harvard scale at one (1) month, six (6) months, and at one (1) year, two (2) years, three (3) years, four (4) years, and five (5) years post IORT.

    Measured: 5 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Xoft, Inc. at 7 sites 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

The study was stopped early. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local recurrence in patients treated with intra-operative electronic brachytherapy for early stage breast cancer. (time frame: 5 Years). The study lists 2 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 25 Jul 2017.
