NOVEMBER: Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage 0-IIB Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage 0-IIB breast cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate 24 month breast photographic cosmetic scores with 9 fraction radiation compared to standard hypofractionation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To evaluate Breast-Q patient reported outcomes (PROs) compared to historical control in breast conservation.
-
To evaluate the incidence of acute and late radiation complications, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0 toxicity.
-
To evaluate the local and local regional recurrence rate. IV. To compare the direct and indirect patient costs for radiation therapy compared to historical controls as well as quality adjusted life years, utilizing the Breast-Q Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and the EQ-5D.
OUTLINE:
Within 12 weeks after breast conserving surgery, patients undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy for 9 fractions over 2 weeks.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2-8 weeks, 6 months, and annually for 3 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Breast photographic cosmetic scores [Up to 24 months post radiation therapy (RT)]
The scale used will be the modified EORTC Cosmetic Rating System of the treated compared to the untreated breast
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Breast-Q patient reported outcomes (PROs) scores [Scores at 6 months and 24 months post RT]
Will be using the Breast Q survey tool to assess patient-reported satisfaction with breast, well-being, and overall satisfaction. Scores at 6 months and 24 months post-radiation (relative to pre-RT) will be summarized and compared to prior published data, utilizing a two-sample t-test with a two-sided alternative.
- Incidence of acute and late radiation complications based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0 toxicity [Up to 5 years]
The proportion of patients with acute or late radiation complications, will be estimated. Any event longer than 3 months will be considered a late effect.
- Local and local regional recurrence rate [Up to 60 months]
We will report the incidence of recurrence
- Cost-effectiveness (CE) of hypofractionated radiation versus standard fractionation [Up to 24 months post RT]
Will be explored using cost data and quality adjusted life years (QALYs)
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
