Active clinical trials for "Endometrial Neoplasms"

This is a phase II open label fixed dose study in subjects with advanced, metastatic, or refractory endometrial or ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with PI3 kinase pathway activation as demonstrated by PIK3CA gene mutation, PTEN gene mutation, or PTEN null/low protein expression.

The main purpose of this study is to see if adding the experimental medication, axitinib, to usual treatment with pembrolizumab will work better than pembrolizumab alone. The study team will look at overall safety and side effects of the combination of axitinib and pembrolizumab to see how well it is tolerated. Researchers will also want to take some research blood samples to explore what effects the combination of treatment has on participants' cells and immune system and to see if there are things in participants' blood that can predict a response or resistance to the combined treatment.

To evaluate the efficacy of sentinel lymph node policy in patients with intermediate-risk endometrial carcinomas

In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate whether serum and abdominal washing fluid CA-125 levels correlated with postoperative histopathological parameters in patients with endometrial carcinoma.

A Single Arm Phase II Trial of BMN 673 for Inoperable, Advanced Endometrial Cancer With Retrospective PTEN, MSI and MRE11 Analysis PTEN= Phosphatase and tensin homolog MSI= Microsatellite instability MRE11= Double-strand break repair protein MRE11A This trial will investigate whether the drug BMN 673 has therapeutic benefit in the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer. Nearly 8,000 patients are diagnosed with endometrial cancer in the UK every year. A significant proportion are either diagnosed with advanced disease which may be inoperable and/or metastatic (i.e spread to other organs outside the endometrium), or curable disease which relapses following first line treatment. There is no established standard of care for these patients as both chemo and hormone therapy has limited effectiveness and survival benefit. Survival rates have not improved in the past 20 years. Furthermore there are no so called 'targeted' drugs licensed for its treatment i.e. drugs that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression. This leaves an unmet need for effective systemic treatments for advanced, inoperable and metastatic endometrial cancer. BMN 673 has been shown to be potentially effective in treating cancers known to behave similarly to endometrial disease, both in the laboratory and in Phase I studies involving patients with advanced cancers. Similarly the drug appears to be relatively tolerable. A Phase II trial such as the one proposed by this application could demonstrate activity that might lead to a new effective treatment for patients with inoperable, advanced, recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer, while the proposed substudy also presents the possibility of discovering a subset of patients more likely to derive benefit from BMN 673. This trial is for adult women (18 and above) with advanced, inoperable or metastatic endometrial cancer. Patients will be recruited from approximately 15 National Health Service (NHS) Trusts based in the United Kingdom (UK). The study is expected to last approximately 18-24 months in terms of recruitment time, and a maximum of 100 eligible women will be registered. All patients will receive BMN 673 until their disease worsens or their doctor decides they should stop treatment.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of genistein may be effective in preventing breast or endometrial cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying the effectiveness of genistein in preventing breast or endometrial cancer in healthy postmenopausal women.

This phase I/II trial is studying how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan, CT scan, and ferumoxtran-10 MRI scan finds lymph node metastasis before undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer or high-risk endometrial cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as a fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and ferumoxtran-10 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, may help find lymph node metastasis in patients with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer.

The investigators think that trans-cervical endometrial tracer injection will cause more paraaortic sentinel lymph node detection. Also, this application is easy, cost-effective and safer than hysteroscopic method. Transtubal tumor spearing will not occur with this method.

Physical activity is not only efficient for primary prevention of several cancer types, but it also plays an important role in cancer survivors. Physical activity after a cancer diagnosis has been associated with reduced overall and cancer-specific mortality. It has significant positive effects on physical fitness and several cancer-related symptoms including fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression and anxiety. The evidence is considerable and consistent for breast, colorectal and endometrial cancers. However, patients are generally insufficiently active, and participation rates in physical activity opportunities offered by specialized organizations are low. This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an intervention seeking to increase active lifestyle and physical activity participation of cancer patients. To encourage this behavioural change, motivational interviewing will be used, a patient-centred approach aimed at increasing the patients' motivation for a behavioural change through open-ended discussions. Seventy patients with breast, colorectal or endometrial cancer will be recruited within a time period of 12 months. Patients will be randomly assigned to an intervention or a control group. The intervention group will receive standard care alongside 12 motivational interviewing sessions within 12 weeks. The control group will receive standard care only. Physical activity behaviour (3D-accelerometer) and physical fitness (cardiovascular and strength fitness) will be measured in the week preceding and following the intervention. Additionally, a subgroup from both study arms will be assessed 12 weeks after the completion of the intervention. The investigators hypothesize that sedentary time will decrease and time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity, physical fitness and quality of life of cancer survivors will increase to a greater extent in the intervention group than in the control group. Furthermore, health-related quality of life and resource use (intervention and healthcare costs, out of pocket costs) will be measured to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
