The T-REX-Trial: Tailored Regional External Beam Radiotherapy in Clinically Node-negative Breast Cancer Patients With 1-2 Sentinel Node Macrometastases; an Open, Multicenter, Randomized Non-inferiority Phase 3-trial.

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Radiation
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

T-REX is a randomized multicenter, non-inferiority trial. Aim: To evaluate whether regional radiotherapy may safely be omitted in clinically node negative breast cancer patients with one or two sentinel node macrometastases and an estrogen receptor positive, HER2-negative tumor. Leading to an improved quality of life and reduced side effects, without worsening recurrence free survival at five years. Intervention: Patients will be randomized to locoregional radiotherapy towards the breast/chestwall and regional lymph nodes vs. to a de-escalated radiotherapy. In the intervention arm no lymph node irradiation will be given. Radiotherapy is still given to the remaining breast after breast conserving surgery, but no radiotherapy is given after mastectomy. Sample size: 1350 patients Primary end-point: Recurrence free survival at five years. Gene expression analysis: For all patients gene expression analysis for the gene signatures ARTIC, POLAR and OncotypeDX will be performed and related to risk of recurrence and benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy.

Participants
Target number of participants: 1350
Treatments
No_intervention: Standard
Radiotherapy to the remaining breast after breast conserving surgery or chest wall after mastectomy, and regional axillary lymph node levels I-IV. Internal mammary nodes are included in the target volume if the tumor has a central/medial localization in the breast.
Experimental: Intervention
No regional radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is given to the remaining breast after breast conserving surgery. Chest wall radiotherapy after mastectomy only in case of wide spread multifocality.
