Cryoablation vs Lumpectomy in T1 Breast Cancers
- Conditions
- Breast CancerBreast Neoplasm

- Procedure: LumpectomyDevice: Endocare SlimLine Cryoprobe
- Registration Number
- NCT05505643
- Lead Sponsor
- Washington University School of Medicine
- Brief Summary
This trial studies the efficacy and safety of cryoablation in patients with low risk, early stage breast cancer. Cryoablation is a method of killing a tumor by freezing it. The standard approach for patients with this kind of cancer is a lumpectomy. This study will review the safety of the cryoablation procedure initially, followed by comparing cryoablation to lumpectomy in order to see if the cryoablation results in better disease control, complication rates, and quality of life.

Group Intervention Description Rescue Arm: Lumpectomy Lumpectomy If there is evidence of residual or recurrent tumor on follow-up imaging evaluation (6 month MRI (if can tolerate) and yearly MRI/mammography), patients in the cryoablation safety lead-in and who were randomized to receive cryoablation only will be crossed over to receive a rescue lumpectomy followed by adjuvant treatment based on standard of care. Cryoablation Endocare SlimLine Cryoprobe Patients will be treated with cryoablation using the Endocare SlimLine Cyroprobe under real time ultrasound guidance and local anesthesia. The cryoablation consists of a 10 minute freeze phase followed by a 10 minute passive thaw, and ends with a second 10 minute freeze cycle. The freeze-thaw-freeze times may be adjusted at the physician's discretion depending on tumor size. Lumpectomy Lumpectomy Lumpectomy will be performed under general anesthesia as per standard operative procedures at Washington University and Siteman Cancer Center. Cryoablation - Safety Lead In Endocare SlimLine Cryoprobe Patients will be treated with cryoablation (Day 1) using the Endocare SlimLine Cyroprobe followed by adjuvant treatment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Randomized Controlled Trial: Ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence (IBTR) in the treated breast. At 5 years. IBTR defined from date of procedure to date of ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence, with the occurrence of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence as the event and patients will be censored at the last follow-up.
Safety Lead-In: Number of treatment-related complications Assessed from start of treatment through 30 days after cryoablation treatment (estimated to be 31 days) Excessive adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0. They are defined as toxicities occurring within 30 days after the cryoablation procedure and are at least possibly related to the cryoablation. These include death, life-threatening adverse events, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or complications related to cryoablation which interfere with adjuvant therapy such that the adjuvant therapy cannot be performed at all or delayed for a period longer than 6 months or which result in unplanned mastectomy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall survival (OS) Through 5 years. OS is defined from date of procedure to date of death or date of last follow up if none of the recurrence events occur.
Proportion of patients who are free of serious treatment-related complications Assessed from start of treatment through 30 days after cryoablation treatment (estimated to be 31 days) Excessive adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0. They are defined as toxicities occurring within 30 days after the cryoablation procedure and are at least possibly related to the cryoablation. These include death, life-threatening adverse events, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or complications related to cryoablation which interfere with adjuvant therapy such that the adjuvant therapy cannot be performed at all or delayed for a period longer than 6 months or which result in unplanned mastectomy.
Proportion of patients who demonstrate disease-free survival (DFS) Through 5 years. DFS is defined as the time from procedure to time of ipsilateral recurrence, contralateral recurrence, regional recurrence or distant metastasis, or date of last follow-up if none of the recurrence events occur.
