About this trial

The incidence of chest CT manifestations of lung injury after radiotherapy for breast cancer is more than 50%. Although the prognosis and quality of life of patients are rarely affected, it is still necessary to prevent the occurrence of minor radiation lung injury with the use of more novel drugs and subsequent salvage treatment may aggravate the radiation injury. This study intends to conduct a randomized, double-blind, single-center clinical study of pirfenidone versus placebo in the prevention of acute radiation induced lung injury after breast cancer surgery

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Breast invasive carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ confirmed by histology;

Age 18-75, female;

The physical state score of the Eastern Tumor Cooperative Group (ECOG) was 0-2;

Patients meeting the indications of postoperative radiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy: clinical stage 3 or above or postoperative ypT3-T4 or N+; Non-neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients: postoperative pathological staging of pT3-T4 or pN2 or above, or positive for upper and lower clavicle and lymph nodes in the internal milk region, or positive for clinical consideration; For patients with pT1-2N1, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy should be determined based on the patient's age, tumor grade, incisal margin, number of positive lymph nodes, molecular typing, past complications, and patient's intention.

Disqualifiers

Patients with any of the following criteria were not enrolled in this study

History and complications A. male breast cancer patients; B. Did not meet the conditions of large segmentation radiotherapy (upper and lower clavicular lymph node metastasis, internal milk lymph node metastasis, the patient refused large segmentation radiotherapy); C. The subject has any active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease. To admit subjects who are in a stable state and do not require systemic immunosuppressive therapy; D. The patient is participating in another clinical study or less than 4 weeks after the end of the previous clinical study; E. Patients with a known or highly suspected history of interstitial pneumonia; Or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity; F. A history of other malignant tumors; Except in patients who have had potentially curable therapy and have not had disease recurrence for 5 years since treatment began; G. Pregnant women and patients with mental illness; H. Prior treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.; I. Patients with active tuberculosis should be excluded; J. Severe acute or chronic lung infections requiring systemic treatment; K. Patients with obvious blood coughing or daily hemoptysis of half a teaspoon (2.5ml) or more in the 2 months before randomization; L. Patients with heart failure (New York Heart Association standard Class III or IV), poor coronary artery disease control or arrhythmia, or a history of myocardial infarction in the 6 months prior to screening despite receiving appropriate medication.

Physical examination and laboratory examination A. A known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or a known history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); B. untreated active hepatitis (hepatitis B: HBsAg positive with HBV DNA≥ 500 IU/mL; Hepatitis C: HCV RNA positive and abnormal liver function); Combined with hepatitis B and hepatitis C co-infection.

As determined by the investigator, the patient may have other factors that may lead to the termination of the study, such as other serious diseases or serious abnormalities in laboratory tests or other factors that may affect the safety of the subjects, or family or social factors such as the collection of test data and samples.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Pirfenidone/Placebo

    Drug

    Patients were given drugs orally one week before radiotherapy, 200mg/ time, 3 times a day in the first week; 300mg/ time 3 times daily for the second week and 400mg/ time 3 times daily for the third to eighth week. Take it after a meal.

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group B: PlaceboPlacebo comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in lung injury grading on chest computerized tomography within 3 months after radiotherapy

Kouloulias scale was used to evaluate the changes of lung injury grading in chest computerized tomography within 3 months after radiotherapy. The higher the grading is, the more serious the lung injury is

Time frame
4 weeks and 12 weeks after radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes

1

Relationship between biomarkers and radioactive damage

The changes of the above cytokines in the blood of patients were monitored before and after radiotherapy, and the correlation between the changes of cytokines and the grade of radiation damage was analyzed

Time frame
1 week before medication,4 weeks and 12 weeks after radiotherapy
2

Relationship between biomarkers and therapy

The changes of the above cytokines in the blood of patients were monitored before and after radiotherapy, and the correlation between the changes of cytokines and treatment was analyzed

Time frame
1 week before medication,4 weeks and 12 weeks after radiotherapy
3

security

use the CTCAE5.0 scale to record adverse events to assess safety

Time frame
Every week of the medication,4 weeks and 12 weeks after radiotherapy
