Trial Outcomes & Findings for Partial Breast Irradiation Using Accelerated Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (NCT NCT00581529)

NCT ID: NCT00581529

Last Updated: 2017-10-31

Results Overview

The primary objective was to determine the rate of local control (the arrest of cancer growth at the site of origin) of cancer in the treated breast at 5 years following breast-conserving surgery and partial breast radiotherapy using IMRT.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: 34 for patients were enrolled and treated.

The primary objective was to determine the rate of local control (the arrest of cancer growth at the site of origin) of cancer in the treated breast at 5 years following breast-conserving surgery and partial breast radiotherapy using IMRT.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: 34 for patients were enrolled and treated. 2 patients were excluded from all analysis due to fair baseline cosmesis. 2 additional patients underwent mastectomies and were therefore excluded from analysis (cosmesis could not be assessed at 5 years). 30 patients were analyzed.

The primary outcome was to determine the rate of acute cosmetic adverse events and late cosmetic adverse events at follow-up visits over 5 years. To determine the rate of adverse events, the percentage of participants experiencing no cosmetic AEs, at least 1 grade 1 toxicity, at least 1 grade 2 toxicity, and at least 1 grade 3 toxicity were calculated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: not specific

Population: At the time the study was written, we planned to compare treatment methods. Over the course of the study, it was determined additional analysis was not needed due to the analysis and publication of this outcome by several other investigators.

Dosimetric and volumetric differences between treatment plans for partial breast irradiation and other treatment planning methods for the target (partial breast) and organs at risk (e.g. heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral breast)a subset of 20.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Population: 34 for patients were enrolled and treated. 2 patients were excluded from all analysis due to fair baseline cosmesis.

One of the studies secondary outcomes was to evaluate the impact of short term accelerated partial breast radiation therapy on cosmetic results. To determine the association between dosimetric factors and cosmesis, the mean percentage of prescription dose received to WBV (Whole breast volume: corresponding region typically encompassed by traditional tangent fields) was compared among participants who developed fair/poor (F/P) cosmetic outcomes (unacceptable cosmesis) and participants who maintained excellent/good (E/G) cosmetic outcomes (acceptable cosmesis).
