About this study

Official title: The Feasibility Study of Li Brush for the Screening of Endometrial Cancer in the Postmenopausal Period

Investigators aim to collect endometrial sampling with Li Brush among target population who have risks for endometrial neoplasm, then Fractional curettage should performed with these participants, investigators intend to compare the pathological diagnosis results of cytology and fractional curettage to evaluate the sensitivity of Li Brush and investigators expect that the brush can be used for screening of endometrial cancer in the postmenopausal period in the clinic.

Read the detailed description

Investigators screen the suitable participants according to the inclusion and exclusion standards, and then collect their endometrial sampling with Li Brush. Pathologists will help to decide the cytology obtained by Li Brush and histology diagnosis of the endometrial sampling. Comparing the pathological diagnosis results of cytology and histology, investigators want to prove the feasibility of cytology diagnosis of endometrial cancer in the postmenopausal period, as the same time, investigators intend to evaluate the possible factors that affecting the precision of Li Brush for endometrial cancer in the postmenopausal period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the new diagnosis method with gold standard via Kappa statistic

    Kappa statistic will be used to access the agreement of the two diagnosis results. The diagnosis result is dichotomous data: having endometrial cancer or not. The safety risk is the same as it of the gold standard.

    Measured: one week within the enrollment

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 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

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?

Compare the new diagnosis method with gold standard via Kappa statistic (time frame: one week within the enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02512848, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
