About this study

Official title: Pilot-study of OSCAR ENDO One Stop Assessment of Risk for Endometrial Hyperplasia and Cancer

It is to be achieved that in postmenopausal women through the combination of Hysteroscopy and intraoperative rapid section a positive predictive value (PPV) regarding the objective illness like endometrial cancer or adenomatous hyperplasia of 100% so as a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99%.

Read the detailed description

If a patient fulfills the inclusion criteria, the surgeon decides intraoperatively due to the aspect in the hysteroscopy if it is a clearly benign result or if it looks suspicious or malign.

In case of a hysteroscopical benign result the patient will be informed about the result after the operation.

In case of a hysteroscopal suspicious or malignant aspect, the curettement will be sent for a rapid section. If the hysteroscopic result confirms the hysteroscopic suspicion the patient will be informed after the operation and the further treatment can be planned right away.

Being tested

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?

A negative predictive value of 99 % (time frame: Intraoperative). 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 NCT01961102, 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.
