NCT06008158

Brief Summary

This phase II trial tests how well accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered once per day works in ensuring an acceptable breast appearance in patients with low risk, hormone responsive breast cancer. APBI uses precise radiation beams to kill cancerous cells in a smaller area of the breast (partial breast) instead of the whole breast or chest area as in standard therapy. Additionally, APBI is given in a shorter course of treatment than whole breast radiation therapy, over fewer days instead of several weeks, with a lower total dose of radiation. APBI is currently given every other business day for a total of 5 treatments with excellent results; however, a shorter treatment duration could have similar or even better results. Undergoing APBI every day on consecutive business days for 5 treatments may result in an improved breast appearance for patients with low risk hormone responsive breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of women that rate the cosmetic appearance of the breast as acceptable ("excellent" or "good")

    Measured by the 4-point Global Cosmetic Score (GCS). The exact test will be used to test the hypothesis that the rate of cosmesis is \>= 90% versus the null hypothesis that cosmesis is 74% or lower, at the 5% significance level.

    At 1 year post accelerated partial breast irradiation once daily (APBI QD)

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Cosmetic outcome by the patient post-APBI QD

    Over time at baseline, day 5, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years

  • Cosmetic outcome assessed by the physician post-APBI QD

    At 1 year

  • Cosmetic outcome assessed by the physician post-APBI QD

    Over time at baseline, day 5, 1 month, 6 months 1 year, 2 years and 3 years

  • Incidence of adverse events-patients reported

    Up to 3 years post-APBI

  • Incidence of adverse events-treatment team reported

    Up to 3 years post-APBI

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative
  • Age: \>= 40 years
  • Female
  • Ability to read and understand English or Spanish for questionnaires
  • Anatomic pathologic stage 0 (ductal carcinoma in situ \[DCIS\]) or stage IA (invasive) breast cancer
  • Malignancy must be epithelial. Non-epithelial breast malignancies such as lymphoma or sarcoma are not allowed
  • Tissue from core biopsy or resection must show hormone sensitive receptors. Hormone sensitive receptors are defined as the following:
  • \- DCIS: Estrogen receptor (ER) positive (\>= 60%)
  • Invasive breast cancer:
  • Oncotype DX =\< 25 (if performed) OR
  • If Oncotype DX is not performed an Allred score of 7 or 8. The following combinations of proportion of ER positive cells and staining intensity are allowed:
  • ER positive (34-66% of cells) and staining intensity is strong (Allred 7)
  • ER positive (\>= 67% of cells) and staining intensity is intermediate (Allred 7)
  • ER positive (\>= 67% of cells) and staining intensity is strong (Allred 8)
  • Tissue from core biopsy or resection must be HER2 negative by current American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines
  • +8 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Any prior treatment with radiation therapy, anti-endocrine/hormone therapy, chemotherapy or biologic therapy for the currently diagnosed breast cancer PRIOR to surgical resection
  • Prior radiation to the region of the involved breast that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude partial breast irradiation
  • Clinically significant uncontrolled illness
  • Diagnosis of Paget's disease of the nipple
  • Other prior or active malignancy. Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
