About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Hypofractionated Whole-breast Radiation and Concomitant Boost to the Surgical Bed After Breast Conserving Surgery

This phase II study is to evaluate the safety of hypofractionated whole breast radiation (HFRT) with simultaneous tumor bed boost(SIB) in women with early breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary:

To determine the toxicity with adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation with simultaneous tumor bed boost (SIB) in women with early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery.

Secondary:

To determine the short term cosmetic and quality of life of the participants treated with this regimen.

To determine the local control of the participants treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation with simultaneous tumor bed boost once daily a week for 3 weeks. Toxicity, quality of life and cosmetic result is assessed before radiation, at the end of the radiation, within 2, 4, 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 3 months for 1 ear.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 participants will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Radiation therapyRadiation

    Radiation to the whole breast: 43.5 Gy in 15 fractions in 3 weeks. Simultaneous radiation to the surgical cavity: 49.5 Gy in 15 fractions in 3 weeks.

    Intensity modulated radiation treatment is used.

What is being measured

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

  1. acute radiation induced dermatitis by CTCAE within 3 months

    radiation induced skin toxicity, including rash, dry skin, ulceration etc., occurring immediately after radiation.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. late radiation toxicity by CTCAE every 3 months to 1 years after 3 months of completion of radiation

    any radiation induced toxicity occurring after the radiation

    Measured: 3 months to 1 year

  2. breast cosmetic result as measured by Harvard scale of breast cosmesis (excellent, good, fair, poor) every 3 months for 1year

    breast cosmetic evaluation after breast conserving surgery and radiation, using Harvard scale.

    Measured: every 3 months for 1year

  3. quality of life as measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Scale (FACT-B) every 3 months for 1 year

    Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Scale (FACT-B) is used to evaluated the quality of life: all scale range: 0-144; sub-scale range: physical well being: 0-28; social well being: 0-28; emotional well being 0-24; functional well being 0-28; additional consideration: 0-36; the higher the better

    Measured: every 3 months for 1 year

  4. quality of life as measured by Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale(BCTOS) every 3 months for 1 year

    Functional Assessment of Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale(BCTOS) is used to evaluated the quality of life. the range of BCTOS is 22-88, the smaller the better

    Measured: every 3 months for 1 year

  5. in-breast recurrence rate at 1 year of radiation completion

    recurrence occurred in the treated breast.

    Measured: 1 year

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 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?

acute radiation induced dermatitis by CTCAE within 3 months (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03320421, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 31 Jan 2019.
