About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring Proton Radiation

Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patients with Stage I-III breast cancer who have undergone breast conserving surgery or mastectomy and have been recommended to receive postoperative radiation therapy to the breast or chest wall and regional draining lymph nodes (axilla levels I-III, SCV, IMN) Histologically documented breast cancer (invasive mammary, ductal, medullary, tubular, mucinous, lobular, or ductal carcinoma in situ) for which treatment with radiation therapy to the breast/chest wall and comprehensive regional lymph nodes including the internal mammary chain is recommended Documentation of negative metastatic workup by whole body Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography (PET/CT) or by combined CT of the chest, abdomen, pelvis and Bone scan History and physical exam within 90 days prior to study registration Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2 Negative pregnancy test for women of child-bearing potential Able to begin radiation treatment within 12 weeks of last surgery or last day of chemotherapy Presence of breast implants, breast expanders, tissue flap, or other breast reconstruction are allowed Bilateral breast cancer is allowed if at least one side will be treated with comprehensive nodal irradiation per protocol treatment and will be recorded as the laterality receiving comprehensive nodal irradiation. If both sides will be treated comprehensively, it will be documented as such Exclusion Criteria: Presence of skin ulceration and / or ipsilateral satellite nodules and/or edema (including peau d'orange) (T4b or T4c disease) or diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer (T4d disease) Residual gross disease detected by imaging or clinical exam with the exception of <2cm internal mammary lymph node or supraclavicular lymph node amenable to sequential boost Prior history of radiation therapy overlapping with current target volume (including intraoperative brachytherapy, interstitial catheter brachytherapy, balloon brachytherapy, external beam radiation therapy) Clinical or radiographic evidence of distant metastatic disease Pregnant or breast-feeding females Non-malignant systemic disease that would preclude the patient from receiving study treatment or would prevent required follow-up History of connective tissue disorder (i.e., systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma), dermatomyositis, xeroderma pigmentosum Known BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutation Presence of an active skin rash Prior invasive non-study malignancy unless disease free for ≥ 3 years. Non-melanoma skin cancer, well-differentiated thyroid cancers, in situ carcinomas of the oral cavity, cervix, and other organs, and tumors that are not thought to impact the life expectancy of the patient are permissible.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    To determine if the rate of grade ≥3 treatment-related skin and soft tissue toxicities with comprehensive nodal irradiation for breast cancer using hypofractionated PBS proton therapy is non-inferior to conventionally-fractionated proton radiotherapy
    This study will investigate if adjuvant comprehensive regional nodal radiotherapy to the breast or chest wall and regional lymph nodes including the axilla (levels I-III), supraclavicular (SCV), and internal mammary (IMN) lymph nodes using pencil beam scanning proton therapy delivered with a hypofractionated regimen results in rates of acute and late grade 3 or worse treatment-related skin and soft tissue toxicities that are non-inferior compared with rates in pencil beam scanning proton therapy using conventionally fractionated regimens.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    To determine the rate of any grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events
    To determine local recurrence rates
    To determine regional recurrence rates
    To determine distant recurrence rates
    To determine breast cancer-specific survival
    To determine overall survival

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the effects of using proton radiation therapy delivered over a shorter course of treatment (3 weeks) compared with a longer, standard course of treatment (5 weeks) for women with breast cancer who require radiotherapy to the breast/chest wall and regional lymph nodes.
    Detailed Description
    This study is being done to see if comprehensive regional nodal radiation therapy to the breast or chest wall and regional lymph node area using proton therapy delivered with a hypofractionated approach (less treatment days) will result in rates of treatment related skin and soft tissue side effects that are non-inferior compared to conventionally fractionated proton radiotherapy regimens.
