Trial summary

The primary aim of this trial is to determine whether lymphadenectomy, used to restrict adjuvant therapy (other than vaginal brachytherapy) to node positive women, results in a non-inferior survival as compared to adjuvant therapy given to all women with high risk apparent stage 1 endometrial cancer.

About this study

Official title: A Randomised Trial of Non-selective Versus Selective Adjuvant Therapy in High Risk Apparent Stage 1 Endometrial Cancer

The primary aim of this trial is to determine whether lymphadenectomy, used to restrict adjuvant therapy (other than vaginal brachytherapy) to node positive women, results in a non-inferior survival as compared to adjuvant therapy given to all women with high risk apparent stage 1 endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

Results from this trial have the potential to change practice whatever the results: either lymphadenectomy will become recommended practice if a non-inferior outcome is obtained; otherwise the procedure can be safely abandoned.

Secondary Objectives

  • Disease-free, endometrial cancer-event free and endometrial cancer-specific survival
  • Distribution of pelvic and extra-pelvic relapse
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Surgical adverse events

There are also two sub-studies:

  1. Quality of life - all patients i. Describe the trajectory of key patient reported outcomes (PROs) from baseline up to 5 years post-surgery ii. Compare the specific PRO domains between the trial arms at several specific time points iii. Determine the proportion of women in each trial arm reporting long-term symptoms after treatment as measured by the symptom-specific subscales of the measures (gastrointestinal symptoms, urological symptoms, attitude to disease and treatment, vaginal symptoms, lymphoedema) iv. Determine the correlation between physician rating (CTCAE v4.03) and patient-report (corresponding PRO subscale) for various symptoms reported by both physicians and patients v. Assess the correlation between self-assessed lymphoedema (Self-report lower-extremity lymphoedema screening questionnaire) and the lymphoedema subscale of the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Endometrial Cancer Module (QLQ-EN24) We hypothesise that quality of life will be better in patients in the lymphadenectomy arm because a considerable proportion will be spared systemic adjuvant treatment, from which they may not benefit.
  2. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) - optional for Arm 1 patients

The aim of this sub-study is to assess SLN status in comparison with the overall lymph node status after full lymph node dissection (LND), and so determine whether SLN is as accurate as systematic node dissection.

  1. We aim to determine the diagnostic performance of the SLN procedure compared to the gold standard of LND ii. To evaluate whether SLN status is a prognostic marker of survival iii. To model patient relapse and survival based on low volume micro-metastatic (LVM) and individual tumour cell (ITC) status

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Abdominal surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Hysterectomy defined as an extrafascial hysterectomy whereby the cervix is removed completely but no radical dissection of the parametria is required

  • LymphadenectomyProcedure or surgery

    Bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection

Study groups in NCT02566811
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abdominal surgery with lymphadenectomyExperimentalPatients will receive a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO)* with lymph node dissection to determine whether lymph nodes are positive or negative: Positive: patients will receive systemic adjuvant treatment to include chemotherapy Negative: patients will receive vaginal brachytherapy only Patients will then be followed up, to include assessment of adverse events and quality of life. *There is an option for patients to be randomised following a pre-trial hysterectomy and BSO. If randomised to this arm, the lymph node dissection will be performed as a separate procedure.
Receives: Procedure: Abdominal surgery; Procedure: Lymphadenectomy
Abdominal surgery, no lymphadenectomyActive comparatorPatients will receive a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO)*. Patients will receive systemic adjuvant treatment to include chemotherapy. Patients will then be followed up, to include assessment of adverse events and quality of life. *There is an option for patients to be randomised following a pre-trial hysterectomy and BSO. If randomised to this arm, no further surgery will be given and the patient will proceed to receive systemic adjuvant treatment to include chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Abdominal surgery and Lymphadenectomy in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 13 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 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 United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Withdrawal of funding by CR UK due to poor recruitment). 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?

Overall survival (time frame: 5 years). 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 30 Sep 2019.
