NCT04679454

Brief Summary

This is a phase I/II, single-arm and open-label single-centre clinical trial with the aim to test the feasibility, safety and the efficacy, in terms of complete pathological response, of preoperative ablative radiotherapy in single fraction for selected breast cancer patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Phase I: Identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    Dose escalation is designed as a 3+3 rule-based study. Acute skin/soft tissue toxicity, measured according to NCI CTCAE v. 4.03. Any Grade 3-4 toxicity related to radioablation is considered dose limiting (DLT).

    time frame:2 weeks

  • Phase II: Evaluate efficacy measured in terms of pCR rate

    Rate of pCR after radioablative treatment, according to Modified Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) index

    time frame:8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Incidence of chronic toxicity

    time frame: 6 months - 3 years

  • Cosmetic outcomes

    time frame: 1 - 3 years

  • Post surgery complications

    time frame: within 30 days of surgery

  • Disease free survival

    time frame: 1- 3 years

  • Local relapse

    time frame: 1 - 3 years

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

Phase IRADIATION

To establish the recommended dose defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any G3-G4 event according to NCI CTCAE Version 4.03 scale. Dose escalation is designed as a 3+3 rule-based study. Dose escalation will be initiated from a baseline dose of 18 Gy and increased to reach 21 Gy and 24 Gy. The population size includes 18 patients.

Preoperative Radiation Treatment
Phase IIRADIATION

The recommended dose from the phase I study is delivered, using Cyberknife in order to evaluate the efficacy measured in terms of pCR rate. The population size includes 61 patients.
