Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a Caffeine-based Antifibrosis Cream in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy
Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether a caffeine-based cream can reduce the rates of reconstructive complications in patients with tissue expander based reconstruction requiring post-mastectomy radiation therapy when compared to a placebo cream.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patient has histologically-confirmed carcinoma of breast (all subtypes are permitted)
Patient has undergone mastectomy with tissue expander-based reconstruction and require post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) per the - Stage DCIS (0) -III breast cancer, excluding any patients with inflammatory breast cancer at presentation.
Patient will receive irradiation of the chest wall. Additional fields to treat the regional nodes including the supraclavicular / axillary and/or internal mammary chains is allowed but not required. If a patient requires a boost field to the chest wall, scar and/or nodal region this is allowed.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patient with skin changes or inflammatory carcinoma at presentation Patient has (cT4b-d)
unhealed wound in the radiation field
Patient has allergy to Caffeine
Patient has systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma that increases the risk of radiation dermatitis development
Patient will receive concurrent chemotherapy with radiation. (Patient is allowed to take concurrent hormonal therapy or Trastuzumab)
Planned accelerated or hypofractionated fractionation.
Previous radiation to the ipsilateral breast or chest wall or thoracic region.
Anyone who will require bolus use during radiation (per physician discretion) as this will increase rates of acute toxicity interfering with measurement of the primary study endpoint.
