Radiotherapy Dose Adaptation Based on Tumor Biology in Patients With cN2b-N3 Breast Cancer (RADAPT-N3)

June 8, 2023 updated by: Haeyoung Kim, Samsung Medical Center

Radiotherapy Dose Adaptation Based on Tumor Biology in Patients With cN2b-N3 Breast Cancer: Non-randomized Phase II, Prospective Single Arm Study Clinical Trial

The purpose of the study is to evaluate treatment outcomes of breast cancer with internal mammary or supraclavicular lymph node metastasis according to total radiation dose of postoperative radiation therapy differentiated by tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • 5-year disease-free survival
  • 5-year overall survival
  • 5-year locoregional recurrence
  • Adverse events after radiation therapy
  • Quality of life

Participants will be assessed by multi-dimensional methods before and after radiotherapy:

  • Disease status evaluation including physical and radiological examination
  • Quality of life assessment with questionnaires (BREAST-Q)
  • Adverse event assessment according to CTCAE version 5.0

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Postoperative radiation therapy to breast / chest wall and regional lymph node area

Patient achieved complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will receive postoperative radiation therapy with dose of 42.4 Gy in 16 fractions to whole breast / chest wall and regional lymph node area. Internal mammary or supraclavicular lymph node area boost will be simultaneously delivered with total dose of 53.6 Gy in 16 fractions.

Patient with partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will receive postoperative radiation therapy with dose of 42.4 Gy in 16 fractions to whole breast / chest wall and regional lymph node area. Internal mammary or supraclavicular lymph node area boost will be simultaneously delivered with total dose of 56.0 Gy in 16 fractions.

Whole breast / chest wall and corresponding regional lymph node irradiation with dose of 42.4 Gy in 16 fractions
Simultaneous boost to Internal mammary or supraclavicular lymph node area with dose of total 53.6 Gy or 56.0 Gy in 16 fractions, depending on the response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
5-year disease-free survival
Time Frame: 5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
The event for disease-free survival is defined as any disease recurrence or breast cancer-related death
5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
5-year overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
The event for overall survival is defined as death of patient with any cause.
5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
5-year locoregional recurrence
Time Frame: 5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
The event for locoregional recurrence is defined as disease recurrence in irradiated breast / chest wall and/or regional lymph node area including internal mammary and supraclavicular lymph node area.
5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
Adverse events
Time Frame: 5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
Adverse events after radiation therapy is graded according to CTCAE version 5.0.
5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
Quality of life (BREAST-Q™)
Time Frame: 5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
Quality of life is assessed by BREAST-Q™ questionnaires. Each score from BREAST-Q™ scales ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores reflect a better outcome except Cancer Worry scale.
5 years from the initiation of the radiation therapy
