About this study

Official title: Robotic-assisted vs. Traditional Laparoscopic Surgery in Treatment of Endometrial Cancer Patients

The aim of this study is to compare the robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery to the traditional laparoscopic surgery in endometrial cancer patients.

The study is prospective and the patients are randomised into two groups of 50 patients each. Randomisation is done with Minim-programme and patients age and Body mass index are taken into account.

The primary endpoint is the operation time. The number of patients in this study is based on the non-inferiority design. Presumption is that the operation time in robotic-assisted laparoscopy will be 25% longer.

Secondary endpoints include:

  1. bleeding
  2. complications
  3. conversions
  4. number of pelvic lymph nodes
Being tested
Traditional surgery type, Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery
Keywords
Endometrium cancer, Robotic-assisted laparoscopy, Traditional laparoscopy, Laparoscopic surgery, Treatment, Operation time, Bleeding, Complications, Conversions, Pelvic lymph node
Medical subject headings

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks

  2. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks

  3. Pain

    visual analogue scale

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks

  4. pelvic lymph node volumes

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Traditional surgery type and Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery in people with Endometrium Cancer, run by Tampere University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2019. 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 Finland. 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.

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?

the operation time (time frame: From the beginning of first wound incision to the closure of the wounds, an expected average of 3 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01466777, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jun 2019.
