In plain English

This study is for people with breast cancer that had spread to lymph nodes (glands) under the arm, confirmed by a needle biopsy, before chemotherapy. Everyone in the study had chemotherapy before surgery, and the trial looks at how the armpit lymph nodes were managed after treatment. It is sponsored by University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

Who can take part

Adults aged 18 or over, male or female
Breast cancer diagnosed as cT1-3N1M0 (a certain stage of breast cancer) before chemotherapy, using AJCC 8th edition staging
People with no obvious cancer in the breast itself, but with cancer spread to armpit nodes proven by needle biopsy, can also take part
Cancer spread to armpit lymph nodes confirmed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core biopsy before treatment
Hormone receptor (oestrogen receptor) and HER2 status tested on the main tumour
Received standard chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or NACT) — people having hormone therapy before surgery as part of another trial can also take part
Had scans of the armpit to check how the cancer responded to chemotherapy
Had a sentinel lymph node biopsy (removal of the first lymph nodes cancer would spread to) after chemotherapy, using two tracers (dyes), with at least 3 nodes removed
If only one tracer was used: the affected node must have been marked before or during chemotherapy, and at least 3 nodes (including the marked one) removed
If the node was not marked or the marked node was not removed: the tissue report must show signs the cancer responded (e.g. scarring or fibrosis) in at least one node, with at least 3 nodes removed
If fewer than 3 nodes were found: the affected node must have been marked and removed, and that node must show signs of response such as scarring
If the sentinel node could not be found, a sample of armpit nodes must have been taken, with at least 3 nodes removed
No signs of cancer in the lymph nodes after chemotherapy (no isolated tumour cells, micro or macro metastasis)
People whose lymph nodes fully cleared but who still had some cancer left in the breast can take part
People who had no cancer in their nodes at the start but whose sentinel node after chemotherapy was clear and showed signs of response, with at least 3 nodes removed, can take part

Who may not be able to

Cancer in both breasts at the same time
Sentinel lymph node biopsy before chemotherapy
Previous lymph node surgery in the same armpit as the planned sampling
Any other cancer in the last 5 years, or another cancer at the same time — except some skin cancers, early cervical cancer, early melanoma, non-invasive breast cancer, or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia not on treatment

What taking part involves

• Chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or NACT) given as standard care
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy after chemotherapy, using tracers to find the nodes, with at least 3 nodes removed
• In some cases, marking of the affected node before or during chemotherapy so it can be found and removed
• If the sentinel node cannot be found, a sample of armpit lymph nodes is taken instead

About This Trial

The aim of this study is to assess whether, omitting further axillary treatment (ALND and ART) for patients with early stage breast cancer and axillary nodal metastases on needle biopsy, who after NACT have no residual cancer in the lymph nodes on sentinel node biopsy, is non-inferior to axillary treatment in terms of disease free survival (DFS) and results in reduced risk of lymphoedema at 5 years.

More detail

Background: The presence of cancer in the axillary lymph nodes on needle biopsy in patients with early stage breast cancer before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the determinant of the need for axillary treatment (in the form of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or axillary radiotherapy (ART)) after completion of NACT. Treatment to the axilla damages lymphatic drainage from the arm and patients can subsequently develop lymphoedema, restricted shoulder movement, pain, numbness, and other sensory problems. As more effective chemotherapy is now available that results in complete eradication of cancer in the axilla in around 40 to 70% of patients, extensive axillary treatment might no longer be necessary in patients with no evidence of residual nodal disease. Aim: To assess whether, omitting further axillary treatment (ALND and ART) for patients with early stage breast cancer and axillary nodal metastases on needle biopsy, who after NACT have no residual cancer in the lymph nodes on sentinel node biopsy, is non-inferior to axillary treatment in terms of disease free survival (DFS) and results in reduced risk of lymphoedema at 5 years. Methods: Study design: A pragmatic, phase 3, open, randomised, multicentre trial and embedded economic evaluation in which participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio. Study population: T1-3N1M0 breast cancer patients aged 18 years or older, with needle biopsy proven nodal metastases, who after NACT have no residual cancer in the lymph nodes on dual tracer sentinel node biopsy and removal of at least 3 lymph nodes (sentinel nodes and marked involved node). Intervention: All participants will receive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted treatment, endocrine therapy and radiotherapy to breast or chest wall, if indicated according to local guidelines. Patients in the intervention group will not receive further axillary treatment (ALND or ART), whereas those receiving standard care will receive axillary treatment (ALND or ART) as per local guidelines. Follow-up is annually for at least 5 years. Outcomes: The co-primary outcomes are disease free survival(DFS) and self-reported lymphoedema defined as 'yes' to the two questions participants will be asked - 'arm heaviness during the past year' and 'arm swelling now' from the Lymphoedema and Breast Cancer Questionnaire at 5 years. Secondary outcomes: arm function assessed by the QuickDASH (disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand) questionnaire; health related quality of life assessed using euroqol EQ-5D-5L; axillary recurrence free interval (ARFI); local recurrence; regional (nodal) recurrence; distant metastasis; overall survival; contralateral breast cancer; non-breast malignancy; costs; quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and cost-effectiveness. Sample size: A sample size of 1900 patients would have the ability to demonstrate a 3.5% non-inferiority margin with a 5% 1-sided significance level and 85% power, allowing for 7% non-collection of primary outcome data assuming a 90% 5-year disease free survival rate in the control arm. It would also be able to detect at least a 5% difference in proportion of patients with lymphoedema with 90% power, a 5% 2-sided significance level and allowing for 25% non-collection of primary outcome data over 5 years. Analysis plan: All analyses will be carried out on an intention-to-treat basis to preserve randomisation, avoid bias from exclusions and preserve statistical power. Time to event outcomes, including disease free survival and axillary recurrence free interval, will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using Cox proportional hazards models. The proportion of patients experiencing lymphoedema at 5 years will be compared across trial arms using a chi-squared test and a logistic regression model used to adjust for stratification variables. Arm morbidity and health related quality of life will be scored using the appropriate manuals and assessed using a longitudinal mixed model regression analysis if model assumptions valid or a standardised area-under-the-curve analysis. For economic evaluation, incremental cost per QALY gained at 5 years will be estimated. Timelines for delivery: Total project duration is 120 months based on 6 months for set up; 60 months recruitment period (including an 18 months internal pilot phase); and 54 months for follow up, analysis, writing up and dissemination.
