A Phase I Trial Assessing the Safety and Feasibility of Prophylactic Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) Irradiation After Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Immediate Reconstruction in Patients With In-Situ or Invasive Breast Cancer

Overall rationale: Prophylactic NAC irradiation after nipple-areola sparing mastectomy and
immediate reconstruction for patient with ductal carcinoma in-situ or invasive breast cancer
will allow better cosmesis and patient's satisfaction:

- The use of NAC-sparing mastectomy followed by postoperative NAC (nipple-areola complex)
external beam radiotherapy for selected patient with early stage invasive or in-situ
breast cancers will be technically feasible and with acceptable complication rates.

- The cosmetic results after NAC-sparing mastectomy followed by postoperative external
beam radiotherapy to the NAC will be better comparable with Skin Sparing Mastectomy.

- The local control rate in the NAC will be more than expected for a NAC sparing
mastectomy without postoperative radiotherapy.

- The patient's satisfaction after NAC-sparing mastectomy followed by postoperative NAC
external beam radiotherapy will be better than after Skin Sparing Mastectomy.

Study design: Phase I trial assessing the safety, feasibility and toxicity of prophylactic
NAC irradiation after nipple-areola sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in
patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ or invasive breast cancer.

Primary objective: To determine the recommended phase I dose of post-operative prophylactic
NAC irradiation.

Secondary objectives: To provide extensive descriptive data regarding NAC-sparing surgery
with reconstruction, including both surgeon experience and patient evaluation of cosmetic
results. Survival and recurrence will be assessed.

Study size: Between 12 and 18 patients will be enrolled in the dose-escalation/deescalation
part of this phase I study. An additional expansion cohort of 12 patients will be enrolled at
the "potential" recommended phase II dose (RP2D) over an expected accrual period of 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have histologically confirmed in-situ or invasive breast carcinoma.

- Tis, T1, T2 invasive or non-invasive carcinoma of the breast; lesion less than 4 cm.

- Unifocal, multifocal or multicentric breast cancers that can be removed by nipple
sparing mastectomy with negative surgical margins.

- No extensive intraductal component or patient with distant metastases.

- Patients must be > 18 years of age.

- No concomitant or history of nipple discharge or skin involvement.

- No prior history of malignancy (less than 5 years prior to study entry), except
non-melanomatous skin cancer.

- No prior history of radiation to the chest.

- No collagenous disease (systemic lupus erythematosis, scleroderma, dermatomyositis)No
previous non-hormonal therapy including radiation or chemotherapy for current breast
cancer.

- No patients with Paget's disease of the nipple.

- No patients with co-existing medical conditions with life expectancy < 2 years.

- No pregnant or lactating women.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 - 2.

- Signed study-specific informed consent form prior to the study entry.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Retroareolar breast cancer lesions within one cm, depth from the skin surface.

- Concomitant or history of nipple discharge or skin involvement.

- Patient with distant metastases.

- Patient with extensive intraductal carcinoma.

- Any previously irradiated ipsilateral breast cancer.

- Patients with Paget's disease of the nipple.

- Patients with collagenous diseases, as systemic lupus erythematosis, scleroderma or
dermatomyositis.

- Other malignancy, except nonmelanomatous skin cancer, less than 5 years prior to
participation in this study.

- Patients who are pregnant or lactating due to potential exposure of the fetus to RT
and unknown effects of RT to lactating females.

- Positive surgical margins following nipple sparing mastectomy.
