NCT02308488

Brief Summary

Following consent, patients will receive 15 fractions of radiotherapy to the affected breast and to Axillary level III and SCV (Supra-Clavicular) lymph nodes, defined by CT imaging obtained in a prone position using IMRT(intensity modulation radiation therapy ) technique: one fraction daily for 5 days/week for 3 consecutive weeks. Patients will be seen for follow-up at 45-60 days from first radiotherapy treatment, and then yearly. Patients will be assessed for Lymphedema at baseline, end of treatment, and at yearly intervals after completion of radiotherapy. All patients will be followed for toxicity and outcome (local and systemic recurrence, survival). In addition, patients will complete a self-assessment of QOL at baseline, week 3, day 45-60 and 2-yr follow-ups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants With Acute Toxicity > Grade 2 (Skin Toxicity Grade 3 or Above) Occurring Within 60 Days After First Day of Treatment

    "Toxicity Grading per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v 3.0). Please refer to the Protocol Appendix 1 for details. Grade 1 - Mild, Grade 2 - Moderate, Grade 3 - Severe, Grade 4 - Life-threatening, Grade 5 - Death"

    Day 60

  • Number of Participants Who Met Constraints

    Treatment feasibility will be evaluated for each participant by the ability to meet all physics dose constraints: Target volume dose constraints = PTVTumor: V 48 Gy \> 98%, PTVBreast: V 40.5 Gy ≥ 95%. PTVNodesEval: V 38.5 Gy \> 95%. Normal tissue dose constraints = Heart: V 5 Gy \< 5%, Ipsilateral lung: V 10 Gy \< 20%, Contralateral lung: V 5 Gy \< 15%, Spinal cord: 37.5 Gy maximum, Spinal cord plus 0.5 cm margin: 40 Gy maximum, Thyroid: contralateral lobe 15 Gy maximum, Esophagus: V 30 Gy \< 50%, 40.5 Gy maximum, Ipsilateral brachial plexus: 42 Gy maximum, Contralateral breast: Efforts should be made to keep the contralateral breast completely outside the primary beams

    Day 60

Study Arms (1)

Radiation Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL
Radiation: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)

Interventions

Patients will receive 15 daily radiation fractions of 2.7 Gy, Monday to Friday for three weeks, to the entire breast/chest wall and axillary level III and supraclavicular nodes with a daily concomitant boost of 0.5 Gy to the tumor bed, for a total daily dose of 3.2 Gy to the tumor bed (2.7 Gy + 0.5 Gy). The overall dose will be 40.5 Gy to the breast/chest wall, axillary level III and supraclavicular nodes, and 48.0 Gy to the tumor bed.
