FAST NOVEMBER: A Phase II Randomized Trial of a 5 vs. 9-day Course of Whole Breast Radiotherapy With Boost for Early-stage Breast Cancer

NCT ID: NCT06961955Sponsor: University of UtahLast updated: 2025-12-09

Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate 5 days vs. 9 days of whole breast radiation.

Arms & interventions

  • RadiationRadiation Therapy

    Undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy

Outcome measures

Primary

  • 24-month Mean breast overall satisfaction Breast - Q scores with 5 fractions of radiation is non-inferior in patient reported outcomes.

    To evaluate non-inferiority of 24-month Breast-Q satisfaction with breast score with 5 versus 9 fractions of radiation.

    Time frame: 3 years

Secondary

  • Evaluate acute and late radiation-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms, characterized by type

    Time frame: 5 years

  • Evaluate acute and late radiation-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms, characterized by severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE, version 5.0)

    Time frame: 5 years

  • Evaluate acute and late radiation-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms, characterized by seriousness

    Time frame: 5 years

  • Evaluate acute and late radiation-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms, characterized by duration

    Time frame: 5 years

  • Evaluate acute and late radiation-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms, characterized by relationship to study treatment.

    Time frame: 5 years

  • Evaluate non-inferiority of local and local regional recurrence rate in the treatment arms.

    Time frame: 8 years

  • Evaluate non-inferiority of a change in cosmetic scores in the treatment arms with pre-radiation scores to post 24-month scores using the UK photographic assessment and EORTC scales.

    Time frame: 5 years

  • 60-month mean breast overall satisfaction Breast-Q scores with 5 fractions of radiation is non-inferior in patient reported outcomes.

    Time frame: 5 years

Eligibility criteria

Sex: FemaleAge: 18 Years and olderHealthy volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria: * Female participant aged ≥ 18 years. --Participants must have at least one of the following risk factors: * Grade 3 invasive histology * Estrogen receptor positivity less than 5% * Lymphovascular invasion * Invasive margins \<2mm on surgical pathology * DCIS final positive margin * Extensive intraductal component * Age ≤ 50 years * Tumor size \> 2 cm * Histologically confirmed invasive carcinoma or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) of the breast. * Breast cancer stage (AJCC v8) T0-3, N0, M0. T0 N0 is allowed if whole breast radiation is recommended by the treating physician. * Lumpectomy within 84 days of the start of radiation. * ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2, or KPS ≥ 50 * Negative inked histologic margins from lumpectomy, with the exception of a focus of positive margin at the pectoralis fascia. * Negative pregnancy test for participants of childbearing potential, evidence of permanent surgical sterilization, or post-menopausal status. The post-menopausal status will be defined as having been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: * \< 50 years of age: * Amenorrheic for ≥ 12 months following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments; and * Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution * ≥ 50 years of age: * Amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments; or * Had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago; or * Had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago * Sexually active participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective method of contraception (defined in Section 5.4.1) during the course of radiation and for 30 days after radiation. * Able to provide informed consent and willing to sign an approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines. Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral breast cancer. * Prior radiation therapy to the chest. * Prior chemotherapy. * Recurrent disease. * Known metastases or node positive. * Major chest surgery which is expected to impact study participation 8 weeks prior to starting study drug. * Prior breast malignancy in either breast. * The diagnosis of any other malignancy which, in the opinion of the Investigator, is likely to negatively impact the subject's safety or ability to participate in the study. * Current evidence of uncontrolled, significant intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions: * Cardiovascular disorders: * Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class III or IV, unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmias. * Stroke (including transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]), myocardial infarction (MI), or other ischemic events, or thromboembolic event (e.g., deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) within 3 months before the first dose. * Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the participant's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures (e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallow, social/ psychological issues, etc.) * Significant post lumpectomy complications requiring an unplanned re-operation for surgical complications or admission for IV antibiotics. Re-operation for margins evaluation or nodal evaluation is acceptable. Draining of a seroma is not considered a complication unless it has become infected. * Breast neuroendocrine carcinoma or sarcoma histology. * Radiation sensitizing disease or condition (e.g. connective tissue disease, li fremani, etc.). * Medical, psychiatric, cognitive, or other conditions that may compromise the participant's ability to understand the participant information, give informed consent, comply with the study protocol or complete the study. * Participants receiving concurrent radiation sensitizing medications or therapies.
