About this study

Official title: Effect of Uterine Manipulator on Recurrence and Mortality of Endometrial Cancer: a Multi-centric Study

The investigators sought to retrospectively assess whether the use of a intrauterine device to manipulate the uterus does affect the long-term oncologic outcomes of patients operated by laparoscopy for endometrial cancer

Read the detailed description

The investigators retrospectively collected data regarding patients who received operation by laparoscopy for presumed clinical stage I endometrial cancer. The subjects were then stratified according to the use or not of the uterine manipulator. The investigators also considered the actual type of manipulator used. Then disease-free, disease-specific and overall survival were evaluated, as well as all the possible factors associated with prognosis.

Data were retrieved from specifically designed research quality internal surgical databases, prospectively updated by trained residents on a regular basis, in order to capture all the possible surgical and follow-up data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • UTERINE MANIPULATORDevice

    Patients were operated laparoscopically with the aid or not of an intrauterine probe to manipulate the uterus

Study groups in NCT02943811
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MANIPULATORPatients who were operated for endometrial cancer by laparoscopy with the use of a uterine manipulator
Receives: Device: UTERINE MANIPULATOR
NO MANIPULATORPatients who were operated for endometrial cancer by laparoscopy without the use of a uterine manipulator

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease recurrence

    Relapse of disease during follow-up

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. disease specific survival

    Kaplan Meyer curves and Log-rank test to explore disease-specific survival

    Measured: 4 years

  2. overall survival

    Kaplan Meyer curves and Log-rank test to explore overall survival

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer, run by Università degli Studi dell'Insubria.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 15 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Disease recurrence (time frame: 4 years). 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 NCT02943811, which also lists 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Nov 2016.
