Active clinical trials for "Endometrial Neoplasms"

Removing in situ and metastasis lesions completely during gynecological surgery is central to reduce the recurrence and death, and the identification of lesions in traditional gynecological surgery often depends on the experience of surgeons. The identification of nerves is often needed in gynecological surgery, such as the obturator nerves in pelvic lymphadenectomy, and the pelvic autonomic nerves in nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Nerve identification also relies heavily on the experience of surgeons. This project aims to realize the identification of lesions and nerves under the navigation of indocyanine green fluorescent imaging, and evaluate the accuracy of fluorescent imaging of lesions and the effectiveness of nerves identification by near-infrared imaging. This project may reduce the recurrence or death caused by residual lesions and postoperative dysfunction caused by nerves injury, thus, improve the survival rate and quality of life for patients with gynecological diseases.

The long-term goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of Time Restricted Eating (TRE) for improving metabolic health, preventing cardiometabolic comorbidities, and improving prognosis after endometrial cancer diagnosis. The primary objective of the protocol is to conduct a 16-week randomized dietary crossover study to evaluate the feasibility, fidelity and preliminary acceptability of TRE among endometrial cancer patients, and to provide proof of principle that TRE can improve metabolic health in this population.

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial of a single center in China and plans to enroll 400 patients. Patients with diagnosed gynecological malignancies who underwent pelvic and abdominal lymphadenectomy and required pelvic radiotherapy; Random grouping (A:B=3:1): A. Prophylactic lymphoedema treatment; B. Standard care group; Preventive lymphedema health education was given to patients with gynecological malignant tumors without contraindications before surgery. All patients were randomly divided into an intervention group and a nonintervention group. The intervention group received preventive lymphedema treatment twice a week. 10 times, and the interval between the two treatments was not less than 48 hours and not more than 2 weeks. The intervention measures included four parts: manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, functional exercise, and wearing lymphedema preventive compression stockings. In the nonintervention group, knowledge education and telephone follow-up were routinely conducted. All patients were evaluated for edema, lymphedema symptoms and quality of life 1 day before radiotherapy, every Friday during radiotherapy and every 3 months thereafter. Bioelectrical impedance measurement and leg diameter measurement were used to evaluate edema, the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire (GCLQ) was used to evaluate lymphedema symptoms, and the EORTC Quality of Life Scale (QLQ-C30) was used to evaluate quality of life. followed up to 2 years after the end of lymphedema prophylaxis.

Endometrial cancer patients often have iron deficiency anemia before surgery, which can be effectively treated with oral iron supplementation. Anemia and blood transfusions have been previously associated with perioperative infectious diseases. In the present study the investigators will evaluate the impact of perioperative iron supplementation on the incidence of perioperative infections.

This is a window study where treatment-naïve patients will receive olaparib before definitive treatment. The aim is to evaluate the DNA damage and inflammatory response after PARP inhibitor.

The SISTER study is a randomized trial, looking at various modalities of social support for Black patients undergoing treatment for endometrial cancer. There are three study arms: group support, 1:1 peer support, and enhanced usual care. The primary outcome is treatment completion, and the secondary outcome is social isolation.

Background: Patients with FIGO stage III endometrial carcinoma often require multimodality adjuvant therapy to improve survival and recurrence rates; however, the optimal adjuvant therapy sequence is yet to be established. Several studies have tried to answer this question including RTOG 9708, PORTEC-3, and GOG 258. Collectively, these studies show that concurrent chemotherapy and radiation (chemoRT) with cisplatin followed by additional chemotherapy (CT) and CT alone are acceptable regimens. However, both strategies show that distant recurrence remains a problem when CT is delayed after RT, and local control is compromised without RT. A retrospective study from Washington University included women with advanced endometrial carcinoma who received carboplatin/paclitaxel concurrent with RT. Thirty-four patients experienced grade 3-4 toxicities. They found a median PFS of 42.8 months, median OS of 44.9 months, and 3-year OS of 80%. This study suggests that this regimen is safe with favorable response rates. Building off the above studies, we wish to prospectively assess outcomes of women with advanced endometrial carcinoma who receive concurrent chemoRT with a carboplatin/paclitaxel-based regimen. Methods: A total of 60 patients with FIGO stage III uterine carcinoma will be prospectively enrolled after undergoing surgical staging (currently accruing). CT will start approximately 4 weeks after surgery. Patients will receive 6 cycles of carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2). RT will be given during CT cycles 1-3. External beam RT will be given via intensity-modulated RT in once-daily fractions of 1.8-2.0 Gy for a total dose of 44-45 Gy to the pelvis (vaginal cuff, pelvic LN, and para-aortic lymph nodes). If there is grossly visible nodal disease seen at the time of treatment planning, a boost to 54 Gy will be given to those areas. If the patient has cervical stromal invasion, we will recommend that she receive a brachytherapy boost. Data will be collected on OS and PFS endpoints. Data will also be collected on provider- and patient-reported treatment toxicity. Patients will receive a series of questionnaires at baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. These are prospectively-validated questionnaires and include FACT-G, FACT-En, FACT/GOG-NTX, and FACT-C. For statistical analyses, continuous and categorical variables will be analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates will be calculated for local control and survival end points. For each patient, disease characteristics and adjuvant treatment will be placed in a simple logistic regression model for predicting survival endpoints. A multivariate analysis will be performed for exploratory purposes. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be reported. Tests will be considered significant at p < 0.05.

To assess the feasibility of an expedited referral process for the obese endometrial cancer or EIN patient from her gynecologic oncologist to the Brigham Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (CMBS) in order to undergo concurrent weight loss surgery and hysterectomy within 8 weeks of first appointment with a gynecologic oncologist (or 12 weeks for EIN patients).

This phase III trial compares the effect of sentinel lymph node mapping to standard lymph node dissection in reducing the risk of swelling in the legs (lymphedema) in patients undergoing a hysterectomy for stage I endometrial cancer. Standard lymph node dissection removes lymph nodes around the uterus during a hysterectomy to look for spread of cancer from the uterus to nearby lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node mapping uses a special dye and camera to look for cancer that may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. Comparing the results of the procedures may help doctors predict the risk of long-term swelling in the legs.

The primary purpose of the study is to determine which of four components (symptom-burden tailored app, exercise partner, oncology provider engagement, coaching) added to a core intervention of a wearable activity tracker and commercially available app, will improve physical activity. The findings will generate meaningful knowledge about how to best increase physical activity in older gynecologic cancer patients receiving systemic cancer therapies to improve quality of life and cancer-specific survival.
