Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

March 14, 2024 updated by: Zhang Huo Jun, Changhai Hospital

Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy Versus Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: A Phase II Exploratory Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • The clinical effect of neoadjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer was determined according to the postoperative specimens.
  • Evaluate the acute and late toxicity of preoperative radiotherapy Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the neoadjuvant radiotherapy group and the adjuvant radiotherapy group.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female;
  • Age range from 18 to 70 years old;
  • The pathological diagnosis is invasive cancer, and immunohistochemical examination has been performed to confirm the status of ER, PR, HER2, Ki67, etc;
  • Clarify the BRCA gene mutation status;
  • Patients who have a baseline stage of T1-3N0-3M0 and meet one of the following conditions and require neoadjuvant therapy: ① mass>5cm; ② Axillary lymph node metastasis; ③ HER-2 positive; ④ Three Yin type; ⑤ Those who have a desire to preserve breast, but have a large ratio of tumor size to breast volume, making it difficult to preserve breast;
  • Baseline estimation requires adjuvant radiotherapy, which meets one of the following conditions: ① performing breast conserving surgery; ② T3 or N positive patients after mastectomy and axillary dissection; ③ After mastectomy, sentinel lymph nodes were positive and axillary dissection was not performed;
  • KPS score ≥ 80;
  • The tumor must be visible in CT scan;
  • Patients must undergo magnetic resonance imaging to help determine the contour of the tumor and exclude other lesions. If other lesions are found, biopsy must be performed on these lesions and the result is negative before continuing treatment;
  • No history of serious internal medicine diseases or other serious comorbidities, such as a history of mental illness, allergies, etc;
  • Sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical or pathological stage T4 or M1 breast cancer;
  • Received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy;
  • Pathological confirmation shows that there is no invasive cancer component in DCIS;
  • Double breast cancer or previous contralateral breast cancer;
  • Imaging examination suggests suspicious malignant lesions in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast, which have not been pathologically confirmed to be benign;
  • KPS score ≤ 70;
  • There is active infection currently;
  • Concomitant with severe heart, liver, kidney, hematopoietic and neurological diseases, psychiatric patients, or estimated survival time<6 months;
  • History of malignant tumors in other areas, excluding curable non melanoma skin cancer and cervical cancer in situ;
  • History of radiation therapy at the site of previous radiation therapy;
  • Pregnancy and lactation period;
  • Those with poor compliance or life-threatening conditions who cannot complete treatment.

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
pCR
Time Frame: up to 3 weeks
pathological complete remission
up to 3 weeks

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.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
