Trial summary

In recent years, the incidence of endometrial carcinoma (EC) has increased significantly and patients tends to be younger. In addition to known risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, genetic factors also play an important role in the occurrence and development of EC. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Epigenetic MMRd in Endometrial Carcinomas

In recent years, the incidence of endometrial carcinoma (EC) has increased significantly and patients tends to be younger. In addition to known risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, genetic factors also play an important role in the occurrence and development of EC. Among them, Mismatch Repair Defect (MMR) can produce mutant phenotypes, leading to cancer susceptibility. Although some articles indicated that epigenetic MMRd, one type of MMRd, predicted poor prognosis among endometrial carcinoma patients, hitherto, the clinicopathological significance and prognosis of epigenetic MMRd has not been determined. To date, there are no relevant large-sample data to investigate the prevalence of epigenetic MMRd in Chinese population, as well as the impact on the prognosis of endometrial cancer. In this setting, The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of epigenetic MMRd and its impact on clinicopathology and prognosis on endometrial cancer among Chinese patients.

Read the detailed description

We conducted a retrospective real-world study of all endometrial carcinoma cases from 2019 to 2022. The inclusion criterion is all patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer in our hospital from 2019 to 2022 and exclusion criteria are those without histological specimens in our hospital. After immunohistochemistry and MLH1-promoter methylation testing, tumors were classified into 3 groups according to status of mismatch repair defects. Tumors with MMR abnormalities by IHC and MLH1 methylation were classified as epigenetic MMR deficiency while those without MLH1 methylation were classified as probable MMR mutations, and those without MMRd were classified as MMR proficient. The first outcome is the prevalence of epigenetic MMRd in endometrial cancer, and the second outcome is Whether the clinicopathological features and prognosis of endometrioid adenocarcinoma differ between the epigenetic MMRd population, MMR proficient population and the Lynch/ Lynch-like population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Neoplasms, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Zhong-qiu Lin ((86) 020-34078521, zhongqiu_lin163@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of MMRd caused by MLH1 promoter methylation in endometrial carcinoma (time frame: up to two 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 21 Nov 2022.
