A Phase III Trial of Accelerated Whole Breast Irradiation With Hypofractionation Plus Concurrent Boost Versus Standard Whole Breast Irradiation Plus Sequential Boost for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Standard fractionation whole breast irradiation, Hypofractionated whole breast irradiation, and 2 other interventions for Breast Cancer. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 2,354 participants across 415 sites in 8 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether higher per daily radiation therapy is equally as effective as standard per daily radiation therapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well an accelerated course of higher per daily radiation therapy with concomitant boost works compared to standard per daily radiation therapy with a sequential boost in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that was removed by surgery.

Timeline
Interventions
Target-based radiation using three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to deliver 25 fractions of 2.0 Gy for a total dose of 50.0 Gy or 16 fractions of 2.67 Gy for a total dose of 42.7 Gy. Must begin within 9 weeks of last surgery or chemotherapy delivery.
Target-based radiation using three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to deliver 15 fractions of 2.67 Gy for a total dose of 40.0 Gy. Must begin within 9 weeks of last surgery or chemotherapy delivery.
15 fractions of 3.2 Gy for a total dose of 48 Gy to the lumpectomy cavity. Given concurrently with treatment to the entire breast. May be given by either electron beam or photon beams using either 3D-CRT or IMRT.
6 fractions of 2.0 Gy per fraction for a total dose of 12 Gy or 7 fractions of 2.0 Gy for a total dose of 14 Gy to the lumpectomy cavity. May be given by either electron beam or photon beams using either 3D-CRT or IMRT. Begins without a treatment break after completion of the treatment to the entire breast.
