About this study

Official title: Multi-center Prospective Observational Study for the Validation of Preoperative Low-risk Criteria for Lymph Node Metastasis in Endometrial Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of low risk criteria for lymph node metastasis, that was determined by KGOG-2014 retrospective study, in women with endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

The Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group (KGOG) undertook a multi-center retrospective study to develop a preoperative prediction model for lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer (KGOG-2014). This retrospective multi-center study showed that the accurate identification of a low-risk group for lymph node metastasis among the patients with endometrial cancer can be achieved with the new criteria using preoperative MRI and serum CA-125 assay. In this study, serum CA125 levels and three MRI parameters (deep myometrial invasion, lymph node enlargement, and extension beyond uterine corpus) were found to be independent risk factors for nodal metastasis. Based on the success of KGOG-2014, Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group initiated this prospective, multi-center observational study to validate our prior prediction model.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 28 Oct 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

Sensitivity/Specificity (time frame: 2014-12-31). The study lists 3 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 28 Oct 2015.
