About this study

Official title: A Phase II Pilot Investigation Of The Relationship Of Short Term Depo-Provera (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) Exposure To The Morphologic , Biochemical, And Molecular Changes In Primary Endometroid Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Corpus

This phase II trial is studying how well medroxyprogesterone works in treating patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the uterine corpus (the body of the uterus, not including the cervix). Hormone therapy using medroxyprogesterone may be effective in treating endometrioid cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Compare the efficacy of medroxyprogesterone, in terms of induction of histologic response, in patients with progesterone receptor-positive vs progesterone receptor-negative endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus.

II. Determine the early and late changes in gene expression at 72 hours and 21 days in patients treated with this drug.

III. Examine the mechanisms surrounding the dynamic changes in endometrial tumor cells by determining possible correlations among histologic response, steroid receptor status, immunohistochemical measures of growth and apoptosis, and gene expression profiles in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, multicenter study.

Patients receive medroxyprogesterone intramuscularly once approximately 3 weeks before surgical hysterectomy.

A subset of 15 patients has tissue collected by pipelle biopsy or curettage at baseline, 72 hours after medroxyprogesterone therapy, and during surgery for gene expression arrays.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Being tested
Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Medroxyprogesterone, Therapeutic Conventional Surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Histologic Response in Endometrial Adenocarcinomas of the Uterine Corpus That Are Progesterone Receptor Positive Compared With Those That Are Progesterone Receptor Negative

    To determine the presence of a histologic response, the slide from the initial sample was compared to the slide from the matching hysterectomy specimen. A complete histologic response was defined as the absence of identifiable adenocarcinoma in the hysterectomy specimen section. A partial histologic response was subjectively defined in advance of the study based on criteria slightly modified from Wheeler et al. (Am J Surg Pathol 2007;31:988-98) as the presence of a complex proliferation of glands that retain the architectural characteristics of adenocarcinoma, but with features of secretion, decreased nuclear stratification, or the presence of eosinophilic, squamous or mucinous metaplasia, when this was absent in the initial sample. A complete or partial histologic response was considered a histologic response in the analysis of data.

    PR Positivity is based on aggregate score >0.2 (vs. <=0.2). Aggregate score based on product of staining intensity and area.

    Measured: During the hysterectomy, which is 21-24 days after administration of depo-provera

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Pre- to Post-treatment in Estrogren Receptor (ER) Expression

    Expression is based on an aggregate score based on immunohistochemistry. Staining intensity was scored 1, 2, or 3; and staining area was scored as a percentage (0-100%). The aggregate score is the product of staining intensity and area and ranges from 0 to 3.

    Measured: During the hysterectomy, which is 21-24 days after administration of depo-provera

  2. Change From Pre- to Post-treatment in Progestrogren Receptor (PR) Expression

    Expression is based on an aggregate score based on immunohistochemistry. Staining intensity was scored 1, 2, or 3; and staining area was scored as a percentage (0-100%). The aggregate score is the product of staining intensity and area and ranges from 0 to 3.

    Measured: During the hysterectomy , which is 21-24 days after administration of depo-provera

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Medroxyprogesterone and Therapeutic Conventional Surgery in people with Endometrial Adenocarcinoma and Endometrial Adenosquamous Carcinoma, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Histologic Response in Endometrial Adenocarcinomas of the Uterine Corpus That Are Progesterone Receptor Positive Compared With Those That Are Progesterone Receptor Negative (time frame: During the hysterectomy, which is 21-24 days after administration of depo-provera). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Apr 2016.
