Trial summary

Complete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy performed at the time of primary surgical staging for endometrial cancer increases operative time and surgical morbidity, but appears to be necessary in most high grade and deeply invasive cancers. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients must be surgical candidates for complete hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy.
  • Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer and no clinical evidence of extra-uterine disease on preoperative evaluation.
  • Preoperative evaluation to rule-out extra-uterine disease may include CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound. Preoperative imaging is not mandatory for study enrollment.
  • Patients may have received prior systemic chemotherapy. Such therapy must have been completed at least 5 years prior to study entry and the patient has no evidence of disease subsequent to such therapy. Patients must not have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the present disease.
  • Patients must have GOG performance status 0, 1, or 2.
  • Patients must have an estimated survival greater than or equal to 3 months
  • Patients who have met the pre-entry requirements specified in Section 7.0.
  • Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and HIPAA authorization.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with clinical evidence of disease beyond the uterus, including presence of suspicious aortic or inguinal nodes on imaging or clinical exam.
  • Patients who have received previous vaginal, pelvic, or abdominal irradiation.
  • Patients who received chemotherapy directed at the present disease.
  • Patients who have circumstances that will not permit completion of this study or the required follow-up.
  • Patients with renal abnormalities, such as pelvic kidney, horseshoe kidney, or renal transplantation, that would require modification of surgical lymph node assessments.
  • Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer within the last five years.
  • Patients with GOG Performance Grade of 3 or 4.

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Endometrial Cancer Utilizing Pathology Intraoperative Consultation to Determine Extent of Surgical Staging

Complete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy performed at the time of primary surgical staging for endometrial cancer increases operative time and surgical morbidity, but appears to be necessary in most high grade and deeply invasive cancers. To date, the Mayo Clinic approach has not been reproduced, and the investigators propose to validate their algorithm at the University of Kentucky utilizing intra-operative consultation (IOC). The preliminary data at the University of Kentucky for IOC and endometrial cancer outcomes suggest that the investigators are well-suited to perform this investigation. A surgical approach that is tailored to the patient's cancer biology is rational, supported by the recent literature, and medically compelling since the co-morbidities of many obese, low-risk EC patients put them at significantly increased perioperative risk for complete lymphadenectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lymphadenectomy in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by Frederick R. Ueland, M.D. 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 24 Nov 2021. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Recurrence-free survival (time frame: 24 months). 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 24 Nov 2021.
