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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Participants should have undergone breast conservation therapy with a lumpectomy and axillary evaluation to consist of a sentinel node biopsy or axillary dissection
  • Confirmation of Triple Negative (TN) breast cancer by tissue biopsy
  • Adequate tissue to calculate RSI
  • To fulfill the requirement of HER2- disease, a breast cancer must not demonstrate, at initial diagnosis or upon subsequent biopsy, overexpression of HER2 by either IHC or in-situ hybridization as defined by the ASCO / CAP Guidelines
  • To fulfill the requirement of hormone receptor (HR)- disease, a breast cancer must express (<10%), by immunohistochemistry (IHC), the hormone receptors (estrogen receptor [ER] and progesterone receptor [PR]) as defined in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) / College of American Pathologists (CAP) Guidelines

  • Ability to sign an informed consent form, which can be signed by a family member or health care proxy. Informed consent must be given before study enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Major surgery or significant traumatic injury that has not been recovered from 14 days before study initiation
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Positive surgical margins
  • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or study drug components

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Radiosensitivity Index optimized

Radiation: Genomically Guided Radiation Therapy
Participants will receive treatment 5 days per week, in once daily fractions. The total dose will be 50 Gy in 25 fractions or 42.56 Gy in 16 fractions with or without a boost of 10 Gy in 5 fractions to the cavity.
Radiation: Genomically Guided Radiation Therapy

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
Local Control
Time Frame: At 3 Years
Local control will be defined as lack of progression in the ipsilateral breast as documented by response assessment imaging
At 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
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 5 Years
OS will be measured from the date of study initiation to the date of death due to any cause.
Up to 5 Years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
PFS is measured from the date of first treatment to the date of first observation of PD or death due to any cause.
Up to 5 years
Distant Control
Time Frame: Up to 5 Years
Distant control will be defined by lack of progression outside the irradiated treatment field
Up to 5 Years
Quality of Life following Genomically Guided Dose Personalization
Time Frame: Up to 5 Years
Quality of life (QOL) will be assessed through the completion of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Breast Cancer questionnaire (FACT-B). This quality of life questionnaire contains questions from the FACT-General (G) questionnaire in the domains of physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being as well as additional questions pertaining to patients with breast cancer. The questionnaire will be completed at screening, during protocol therapy and at follow-up visits
Up to 5 Years
