Active clinical trials for "Endometrial Neoplasms"

Minimally invasive surgery is the recommended approach in endometrial cancer (EC) patients based on the results of two randomized controlled trials, given its advantages without compromised oncologic outcomes. The uterine manipulator is commonly used in benign and malignant pathologies to perform a laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy. However, although regularly used, the uterine manipulator adoption in EC is a controversial technical aspect due to the raised concerns regarding the possible risk of disruption of the tumor mass, the spread of malignant cells, and seeding of the disease, particularly at the level of the vaginal cuff or spread of tumor cells, with increased risk of recurrence and death due to EC. On that basis, given that hysterectomy without a uterine manipulator is feasible, only a randomized controlled trial comparing oncologic outcomes in EC patients after use versus not use of the uterine manipulator will be able to provide high-quality evidence to answer this critical question and allow or exclude the use of a uterine manipulator during minimally invasive hysterectomy for EC.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized non-inferiority phase III study to evaluate if patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgery for early stage uterine cancer have cancer cells in the fluid that is obtained at the time of their surgery when a uterine manipulator is placed versus patients who do not have a uterine manipulator placed.

This study aims to estimate the recurrence-free survival rates in women with endometrial cancer treated with selective versus sentinel node surgical staging.

This is a research study using Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) as a bone marrow stimulating agent for imaging to guide radiation treatment planning. G-CSF is a type of growth factor. Growth factors are proteins made in the body. G-CSF is a type of growth factor that makes the bone marrow produce white blood cells to reduce the risk of infection after some types of cancer treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the feasibility and outcome of fertility-sparing therapy in Stage IA G1-G2 Endometrial Cancer with less than 1/2 myometrial invasion. Researchers will render participants indication-extended fertility-sparing therapy. Researchers will compare the myometrial invasion group with the no myometrial invasion group to see if it is possible to propose an extension indication of fertility-sparing therapy for endometrial cancer.

To investigate the non-inferiority of disease-free survival in women who received hypofractionated intensity-modulated whole pelvic radiation therapy (2.5 Gy x 16 fractions) after curative surgery for stage III endometrial cancer.

This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of 68Ga-tilmanocept PET/CT for SLN mapping in patients with endometrial cancer.

The long-term goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of time restricted eating (TRE) for improving metabolic health and preventing endometrial cancer. The primary objective of the protocol is to conduct a 14-week two-arm randomized crossover trial of a dietary intervention to evaluate the feasibility, fidelity and preliminary acceptability of a TRE intervention among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander women at risk for developing endometrial cancer, and to provide proof of principle that TRE can improve metabolic health in this population.

This project is about exploring a novel method to detect ovarian and uterine cancers earlier and better. More precisely, a high-performance radioactive estrogen analog will be used to visualize hormone-sensitive uterine and ovarian tumors using PET imaging. Not only this imaging methodology could improve the whole-body assessment of those diseases, but will also hint clinicians about the optimal course of therapy to undertake. The lead investigator's team designed in the past years an innovative radioactive estrogen derivative tracer (4FMFES) for the medical imaging modality termed Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The compound was first shown to be safe for human use. Recently, a clinical trial demonstrated that 4FMFES-PET is superior to any existing comparable tracer for detection of hormone-sensitive breast cancer patients. 4FMFES is particularly useful to pinpoint unsuspected metastases early, which allowed better breast cancer patient management and staging. 4FMFES and standard FDG PET imaging were shown to be complementary in breast cancer, the use of both techniques together providing a detection rate nearing 100%. Since ovarian and uterine cancers are about as likely to be targeted by 4FMFES as breast cancer, the use of this novel precision imaging method will be adapted to those other indications. In general, the sooner a cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome of a patient will be. Gynecological cancers lack precise screening and detection tools. In particular, while a majority of uterine cancers are relatively well managed, patients burdened with metastatic burden have a much worse prognosis, and precise and early detection of those lesions will greatly help clinicians to better treat those complicated cases. As for ovarian cancers, they are usually devoid of clinical symptoms until late onset, which partly explain the high mortality rate of this disease. Hence, for both diseases, a precision, whole-body imaging technique will allow earlier assessment, followed by earlier intervention, resulting in improved survival rate and better quality of life for patients.
