Pre- Versus Postoperative Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (PAPBI-2)

September 27, 2022 updated by: The Netherlands Cancer Institute

Pre- Versus Postoperative Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation in Early Stage Breast Cancer Patients

Most of the local recurrences (LR) found after breast-conserving therapy are within or close to the tumor bed. This pattern of recurrence was confirmed by studies of breast conserving surgery without adjuvant irradiation and by the update of the NSABP B-06 trial. In the EORTC boost trial, however, 29% of all LR were found outside the area of the original tumor. Still, a recent review of Breast Conserving Therapy (BCT) trials showed that the site of local recurrences after BCT was mostly in the tumor bed, with less than 10% of LR elsewhere in the breast. This led to the concept of partial breast irradiation. With accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), a limited volume of breast tissue is irradiated, allowing for a higher dose per fraction compared to whole breast irradiation (WBI), which is favorable considering the low alpha/beta ratio, and thus higher sensitivity to high dose per fraction.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

65

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

47 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • Planned oncoplastic resection with tissue displacement

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cosmetic outcome
Time Frame: 3 years
cosmetic effect will be measured by comparing the treated breast with the contralateral breast. Cosmetic effect will be scored in three different ways: by digital photographs, patient's questionnaires and specialist's questionnaires. These data will result in an overall cosmetic outcome, scored as excellent, good, fair or poor.
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
tumor response
Time Frame: 6 weeks
pathologic response will be measured in the removed tissue
6 weeks
postoperative complications
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The expected acute surgical complication rate is approximately 16%. A stopping rule is set at 15% for complications that require hospitalization (including intravenous antibiotics) and re-surgery
6 weeks
