Biomarker Guided Treatment in Gynaecological Cancer (Momatec2)
Endometrial Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Endometrial Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria part 1:
All patients referred to a participating research centre with suspicion of or confirmed endometrial cancer.
Exclusion Criteria part 1:
- Patients who do not have endometrial cancer
- Patients who will or cannot give informed consent (including language barriers)
- Patients <18 years of age
- Patients who will not get surgical treatment for their endometrial cancer
Inclusion criteria part 2:
- Patients with endometrial or epithelial ovarian cancer who following routine clinical guidelines are offered weekly taxane (paclitaxel) treatment. This will often be a third or fourth line treatment, i.e. patients with advanced disease.
- Technical possibility to obtain a new tissue biopsy to determine stathmin level in the tumour recurrence.
Exclusion criteria part 2:
- Patients not suffering from endometrial or epithelial ovarian cancer
- Patients <18 years of age
- Patients who do not agree to the proposed treatment or will receive (part of) the treatment in a non-participating centre
- Patients who cannot or do not want to give informed consent (including language barriers)

phase 4 implementation study
phase 2b biomarker study
The historical MoMaTEC1 outcome data, collected from 2001-2015 serve as control arm. These data have been rigorously collected and quality controlled with extensive clinical annotation and follow-up data, and reflect the outcome in (for a larger part) the same population as expected for MoMaTEC2 as there have not been major changes in surgical or medical treatment for endometrial cancer in this time period that could cause confounding. Internal validity, and to a degree also external validity, covering practice in multiple countries, should in this way be assured.
For the current study, stathmin is used as an integrated marker and does not dictate treatment modality, therefore there is no requirement for a control arm.
