About this study

Official title: The Role of Synuclein-gamma (SNCG) in the Carcinogenesis of Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma

This research study is studying biomarkers in blood and tissue samples from patients with uterine cancer. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes the occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether synuclein-γ (SNCG) expression in primary tumor is associated with overall survival (OS) in uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether SNCG expression is associated with clinical covariates (age at diagnosis, race, surgical stage, depth of myometrial invasion, presence of lymph vascular space invasion, lymph node status, location of extrauterine disease, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy) in UPSC patients.

II. Determine whether SNCG expression is associated with other biomarker expression, including TP53 (p53), HER-2, folate receptor alpha (FOLR1), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), phosphorylated AKT (pAKT), pERK, and p16 in primary tumor tissue.

III. Determine whether SNCG expression is associated with progression-free survival (PFS).

IV. Determine whether SNCG expression is associated with synchronous or metachronous breast cancers.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether SNCG can be detected in sera from UPSC patients. II. Determine whether serum SNCG in UPSC patients differs from that in normal healthy control women and women with endometrioid endometrial cancer.

III. Determine whether serum SNCG in UPSC patients is associated with overall survival (OS), clinical covariates (listed above), tumor expression of biomarkers (listed above), PFS, and synchronous or metachronous breast cancers.

IV. Develop prediction models with a panel of biomarkers and clinical prognostic factors for OS, PFS, and synchronous or metachronous breast cancers in UPSC patients.

OUTLINE:

Archived serum and tumor tissue samples are analyzed for synuclein-γ (SNCG) expression and other biomarker expression, including TP53 (p53), HER-2, folate receptor alpha (FOLR1), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), phosphorylated AKT (pAKT), pERK, and p16 by microarray analysis, IHC assays, and western blot. Results are then compared with patients' existing clinical, demographic, and pathology data, including history of breast cancer (metachronous) or breast cancer diagnosed at the same time as the endometrial cancer (synchronous).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall survival

    Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the overall survival (OS) endpoint will be generated separately for the three SNCG expression groups and globally compared using a log-rank test.

    Measured: From time of entry onto GOG-0210, assessed up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Presence of synchronous or metachronous breast cancer

    Cox proportional hazards models with dummy variable coding of the SNCG expression groups will be used to estimate hazard ratios, with tests of interaction with time and log-log plots used to evaluate the proportional hazards assumption. Sensitivity of the estimated hazard ratios to adjustment for other variables will be explored in the analyses for the Secondary Objectives.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Progression-free survival

    Median survival times and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated from the Kaplan-Meier curves using Greenwood's formula for variance estimation.

    Measured: From time of entry onto GOG-0210 to time of progression, assessed up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Serous Adenocarcinoma and Stage I Uterine Corpus Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: From time of entry onto GOG-0210, assessed up to 2 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 14 Aug 2024.
