Personalized Second Chance Breast Conservation (PSCBC): A Prospective Phase II Clinical Study

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: 600cGY x 5 fractions
Registration Number
NCT04371913
Lead Sponsor
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with in-breast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and RT, investigators propose to test partial breast irradiation with the target volume encompassing the entire surgical bed with 1.0-1.5 cm margins.

Detailed Description

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 30 Gy in 5 fractions over 1-2 weeks, which is the accelerated fractionation scheme of choice for Radiation Therapy (RT) naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using EBRT.

The main aim of the study is to evaluate the rate of early grade 3 toxicities with this approach.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of treatment related adverse events as graded by CTCAE version 5.0up to 1 year from completion of radiation treatment

The primary endpoint of the study is to test the feasibility in terms of acute toxicity of a protocol of partial breast re-irradiation for breast cancer treatment in a previously irradiated whole breast, as defined by the rate of grade ≥ 3 treatment-related skin, fibrosis, and breast pain AEs, as graded by CTCAE version 5.0.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with late toxicity will be measured as graded by CTCAE version 5.0up to 60 months

Late toxicity is defined as the adverse events experienced by patients after 90 days post radiation therapy.

Change in Quality of life as assessed by Breast Cancer treatment outcome scale (BCTOS)baseline, approx. week 1- week 2 of radiation, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months.

The Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale (BCTOS) will be used to evaluate patient-reported cosmetic outcome, functional status, and breast pain. Each BCTOS subscale (cosmetic, functional status, and breast pain) is calculated by computing the arithmetic mean of the answers to each item relevant to a given subscale. The score is a continuous variable ranging from 1 to 4, with 1 indicating no difference between the treated and untreated breast, 2 indicating a slight difference, 3 indicating a moderate difference, and 4 indicating a large difference.

Overall Survival (OS) will be measured.60 months
Number of participants who received subsequent mastectomy in the treated breast60 months

The investigators will track for enrolled patients the rate of subsequent mastectomy in the treated breast.

Change in number of participants with skin changesbaseline, approx. week 1- week 2 of radiation, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months.

This count of participants will include patients who experience the following: skin hyperpigmentation, fibrosis, telangiectasia, skin induration and edema.

Disease free survival (DFS) will be measured60 months
Number of participants who demonstrate local control60 months

Patients will be followed for recurrence of cancer in the treated breast.
