Trial Outcomes & Findings for Spect Analysis of Cardiac Perfusion Changes After Whole Breast/Chest Wall Radiation Therapy With ABC (NCT NCT00321048)

NCT ID: NCT00321048

Last Updated: 2025-02-28

Results Overview

Efficacy of the ABC device in protecting the heart from radiation (XRT) damage in patients with L breast cancer is determined by the change in cardiac perfusion (mean apical perfusion score) as measured by SPECT between baseline and 6 month follow up. A score of 1 represents an equivocal or mild reduction in perfusion, 2 represents moderately reduced perfusion, 3 represents severely reduced perfusion, and 4 indicates absent perfusion.

Measure
Active Breathing Coordination
Patients will receive radiation therapy at a dose of 180-200 cGy per fraction for 23-27 fractions to a total dose of 4600 - 4860 cGy. Additional radiation to the lumpectomy bed or mastectomy scar is at the discretion of the treating physician. The total dose to the tumor bed or mastectomy scar cannot exceed 6600cGy. Treatments will be given Monday through Friday. Patients in this group were treated with Active Breathing Coordinator: A SPECT scan will be obtained at baseline and at 6 months follow to determine changes in cardiac perfusion
No Active Breathing Coordination
Patients will receive radiation therapy at a dose of 180-200 cGy per fraction for 23-27 fractions to a total dose of 4600 - 4860 cGy. Additional radiation to the lumpectomy bed or mastectomy scar is at the discretion of the treating physician. The total dose to the tumor bed or mastectomy scar cannot exceed 6600cGy. Treatments will be given Monday through Friday. (Patient ARE NOT treated with ABC) A SPECT scan will be obtained at baseline and at 6 months follow to determine changes in cardiac perfusion

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-radiation) to 6 months (post-radiation)

Population: We understand the reporting score on a scale however, in this case the Mean Perfusion Score was utilized.

A score of 1 represents an equivocal or mild reduction in perfusion, 2 represents moderately reduced perfusion, 3 represents severely reduced perfusion, and 4 indicates absent perfusion.
