Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical research aims to determine if concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy is more effective than sequential chemotherapy and radiation therapy for patients with stage IIB-III breast cancer. It seeks to answer the following key questions:

1. When compared to sequential treatment, does concurrent chemoradiotherapy increase disease-free survival?
2. What effects does concurrent treatment have on post-operative look, quality of life, and side effects including arm swelling (lymphoedema)?
3. What are each treatment approach's financial costs?

Researchers will compare the following to groups:

Arm A: Participants in the sequential treatment group will first undergo chemotherapy and then radiation.

and Arm B: Participants in the concurrent treatment group will undergo radiation therapy while undergoing chemotherapy.

Participants are going to:

1. Get the usual chemotherapy (taxanes and/or anthracyclines).
2. Receive radiation therapy for three to four weeks.
3. Have follow-up visits every 6months for 5years to check for cancer recurrence, side effects, and quality of life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm A: Standard Arm

Participants randomized to arm A arm will receive sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Chemoradiation

Intervention Type DRUG

This intervention will consist of getting chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy, i.e, in a sequential manner

Arm B: Experimental arm

Participants randomized to arm B will receive concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Chemoradiation

Intervention Type DRUG

This intervention will consist of getting chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the same time, i.e, in a concurrent manner.
