About this study

Official title: Phase III Study Comparing 3D Conformal Radiotherapy and Conformal Radiotherapy IMRT to Treat Endometrial Cancer of 70 Years Old Women : Contribution of Oncogeriatric Evaluation to the Study of Acute Toxicity

Comparison of radiotherapy tolerance (two types of radiotherapy) for patients over 70 years with a endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

Endometrial cancer is the most common form of gynecological cancer in France with 6560 new cases in 2010. Endometrial cancers occurs generally after menopause but are sometimes diagnosticated before 40 years. The 5 years Overall survival of endometrial cancer is 76% (95% for non locally advanced or non metastatic disease).

Some factors are involved in disease prognostic: age, geographical origin, physical status, tumor grade, tumor histology and probably biomarkers. Some studies demonstrated that advanced age is a negative prognostic factor due to higher relapse risk and higher specific mortality. Unfortunately, Incidence of endometrial cancer will probably increase in future due to aging of the occidental population.

Current treatment of endometrial cancer is based on post-operative radiation therapy: adjuvant brachytherapy or adjuvant external beam radiation therapy. However these techniques lead to serious toxicity (digestive toxicity, ileitis...) in elder patient. Consequently, pelvic radiation therapy is difficult to organize before 75 years and dangerous to perform after 80 years.

However a new technique called: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) can make the difference. IMRT is a new high precision radiotherapy technique probably well adapted for old people, with less toxicity than current radiotherapy.

Nevertheless, IMRT is not recognized as a standard radiation therapy procedure in France and Europe.

Thus, goal of TOMOGYN study is to compare the tolerance of old women (at least 70 years), with endometrial cancer, treated with external beam radiation therapy or IMRT.

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline in acute toxicity all along the radiation

    NCI CTCAE v 4.0 tox > grade 2 will be compared

    Measured: baseline, Day 5, Day 10, Day 15, Day 20, Day 25, 1 Week after end of treatment, 8 Weeks after end of treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. geriatric intervention

    number of intervention, consequences in terms of base treatment change, intervention of other specialists (except cancer)

    Measured: up to 6 months

  2. geriatric repercussion

    scales : Activities in Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities in Daily Living (IADL), Mini Nutritionnal Assessment (MNA), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), cognitive evaluation, Cumulative Illness RAting Scale-Geriatrics (CIRS-G), sociocultural questionnaire, walking and balance

    Measured: baseline, 6 months after end of treatment

  3. duration of the radiation

    interval between first day and last day of treatment

    Measured: up to 5 weeks and a half

  4. quality of life

    QLQ C30 questionnaire

    Measured: baseline, Day 5, Day 10, Day 15, Day 20, Day 25, 1 week and 8 weeks after end of treatment, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after end of treatment

  5. late major toxicity

    NCI CTCAE v 4.0

    Measured: 1 week, 8 weeks, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the end of treatment

  6. progression free survival

    median time between date of inclusion and date of clinical or radialogical progression

    Measured: an average period of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D conformational radiation and IMRT in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by Centre Oscar Lambret at 7 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment difficulties). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

change from baseline in acute toxicity all along the radiation (time frame: baseline, Day 5, Day 10, Day 15, Day 20, Day 25, 1 Week after end of treatment, 8 Weeks after end of treatment). 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 21 Jul 2017.
