About this trial

In this ABLATIVE-2 trial, low-risk breast cancer patients will be treated with MRI-guided single dose preoperative partial breast radiotherapy to assess the rate of pathologic complete response after an interval of six to twelve months between radiotherapy and surgery. Response monitoring will be assessed using MRI and markers in blood and tumor tissue to enable prediction of pathologic response.

Tumor size as assessed on MRI.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathologic complete response

pCR is defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer on resected breast specimen

Time frame
12 months after radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes

1

Radiologic complete response

Radiologic complete response (rCR) is defined as complete absence of pathologic contrast enhancement in the original tumor bed and complete absence of pathologic ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) reduction in the original tumor bed. rCR is reported according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 guidelines.

Time frame
at baseline, 2 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after radiotherapy
2

Treatment-related adverse events

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events version 5.0

Time frame
at baseline, 2 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 years after radiotherapy
3

Patient quality of life

PROMs are assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer core-30 quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

Time frame
at baseline, 2 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 years after radiotherapy
4

Breast cancer specific quality of life

PROMs are assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer breast cancer-specific quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23)

Time frame
at baseline, 2 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 years after radiotherapy
