Disclosures • Andrew L. Chang: • Proton Center Development Corporation • Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute • ProCure Oklahoma City Proton Therapy Center • ProCure Proton Therapy Center, Inc. • Varian Medical Systems • Sumitomo Heavy Industries • SAH Global Bahrain Proton Therapy Center • SAH Global Oman Proton Therapy Center • SAH Global Dubai Proton Therapy Center • VOA • Advanced Proton Therapy • Scripps San Diego Proton Therapy Center • Malaysian Proton Therapy Center
Background • Partial breast irradiation (PBI) with proton beam therapy (PBT) after lumpectomy for early stage breast cancer is an area of active investigation
Dosimetric Advantage of Proton Beam Therapy for PBI • PBT allows for superior sparing of normal breast tissue and other surrounding organs of interest (heart, lung)
Institutional Experiences • MGH (Gallan-Girodet S, et al., IJROBP 2014; Kozak KR, et al., IJROBP 2006) • Phase I, 19 pts treated with PBT (1-3 fields) and 79 pts treated with photons or mixed photons/electrons, 32 Gy in 8 fractions BID. • At 7 years f/u, 62% physician-reported good-excellent cosmesis, increased acute and late skin toxicity versus photon therapy. Excellent disease control (6% local failure). • National Cancer Center, Korea (Chang JH, et al., RadiotherOncol 2013) • Phase II, 30 patients treated with PBT (1-2 fields), 30 Gy in 5 fractions QD. • Median f/u 5 years. 69% physician-reported good-excellent cosmesis at 3 years - increased toxicity with single field plan. No local or distant failures. • Loma Linda University (Bush DA, et al., IJROBP 2014; Bush DA, et al., Clin Breast Ca 2011) • Phase II, 50 patients treated with PBT (2-4 fields), IDC ≤3 cm s/p lumpectomy, 40 Gy in 10 fractions QD. • Median f/u 48 months. 4 pts with grade 2 acute skin toxicity; 90% good-excellent cosmesis. No local failures.
Primary Aim • To investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of delivering PBI with proton beam therapy in a multi-institutional setting
Proton Collaborative Group (PCG) BRE007-12 trial • Participating sites: • Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI) • ProCure PTC Oklahoma City • Northwestern Medicine Chicago Proton Center • Eligibility: • Age >50 years • ER+ • pN0 • IDC and/or DCIS ≤3 cm s/p lumpectomy with >2 mm margins • Excluded: • Prior RT, LCIS, ILC, multicentric disease
Radiation Therapy • Proton beam therapy (all uniform scanning except one patient treated with passive scatter) • 40 Gy / 4 Gy x 10 daily fractions • Minimum 3 fields used; minimum 2 fields treated daily • CTV = GTV + 1.5 cm radial margin • 3 mm retraction at skin and pec m.
Statistics and Accrual • Primary endpoint • Freedom from ipsilateral breast recurrence • Primary analysis • Null hypothesis: FFF of ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence is 85% or lower • Alternate hypothesis: FFF of ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence is 97% or higher • Powered to have a 95% probability of rejecting the null hypothesis • Planned sample size: 42 • Accrual • N = 42 from Feb 2013 to Nov 2016 • 40 patients initiated protocol treatment • Current analysis with data through Jun 2017
Study Endpoints • Secondary endpoints • Acute toxicity • Evaluated qweek with NCI CTCAE v4.0 toxicity grading scale • Patient-reported QOL • Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale (BCTOS) at baseline prior to RT, and at 1 year and 3 years post-treatment • BTCOS scored 1-4 (1: none; 2: mild; 3: moderate; 4: large) • Physician-reported cosmesis assessment • Including photographs at pre-treatment baseline, and at 1 year and 3 years post-treatment • Correlation of DVH with ipsi breast volume on CT and bra cup size • Additional endpoints • Disease Control (ipsi second primary, regional recurrence, distant recurrence, RFS, OS, contralateral breast cancer, secondary primary cancer)
Results • Median follow-up: 17.8 months • (range 2-36 months)
Results: Disease Control • Primary endpoint • Freedom from ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence: 100% • Distant disease control: 100% • One patient developed a new hormone receptor-negative IDC of the contralateral breast
Results: Toxicity • Acute toxicity (CTCAE v4.0) • Grade 2: 6 events (1 - radiation dermatitis, 1 - lymphedema, 3 -hot flashes, 1 – fatigue) • Grade 3: 1 event (occurred 3 weeks after RT completion in the form of vascular disease requiring stent placement -- highly unlikely to be attributable to RT effects) • Patient-reported QOL (BTCOS) • Score of 4 assigned for change in nipple appearance (n=2), breast shape (n=2), and scar tissue formation (n=2) • Physician-reported assessment of overall breast cosmesis “good” or “excellent” for all patients
Conclusions • Proton PBI provides excellent early cancer control with acceptable cosmetic outcomes and minimal adverse effects as per patient- and physician-reported assessments • With continued follow-up, late toxicity and long term disease control outcomes will be assessed • Amendment in submission to IRB to increase enrollment to 138 patients
