About this study

Official title: Role of Sex Hormone and Insulin/IGF Axes in Endometrial Cancer Recurrence

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying the role of biomarkers in endometrial cancer recurrence in samples from patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To investigate the association of endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EA) recurrence with pre-operative serum levels of insulin, total and free insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF-II, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and IGFB-3, estradiol, estrone, progesterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in samples from patients with stage II-IV endometrial cancer evaluated on GOG-0210.
  • To study the associations of EA recurrence with pre-treatment tumor expression of IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-1 and -3 mRNA in samples from these patients.
  • To study the associations of EA recurrence with pre-treatment tumor expression of insulin receptor, IGF-I receptor, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor in samples from these patients.
  • To measure the correlations of serum (protein) and tissue (mRNA) levels of IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-1 and -3 from samples of patients with EA and participants without cancer.

OUTLINE: Banked serum and tumor tissues samples are analyzed for levels of insulin, total and free insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), IGF-II, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3, estradiol, estrone, progesterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG); expression of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP -3 mRNA; and expression of the insulin receptor, IGF-I receptor, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor by RT-PCR, IHC, and ELISA. Banked non-cancerous endometrial tissue and fasting serum samples from controls are also analyzed for IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-3 and compared with the results of endometrial adenocarcinoma (EA) samples.

Clinical information associated with each EA samples (i.e., age, BMI, performance status, race, ethnicity, tumor stage, size, histology and grade, surgical compliance and type of post surgical adjuvant therapy, overall survival, recurrence-free survival, site of first recurrence, and biomarker values and expression) is also collected.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 815 patient specimens and 50 control specimens will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Patient characteristics: age, BMI, performance status, race, ethnicity. The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Apr 2011.
