Trial summary

In patients diagnosed as endometrial cancer by thorough pathologic examinations, Lynch syndromes are screened by (1)immunohistochemical staining (for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2), (2) tests of microsatellite instability and (3) clinical criteria (Amsterdam I or II criteria and Bethesda criteria).

About this study

Official title: Cohort Study of Universal Screening for Lynch Syndrome in Chinese Patients of Endometrial Cancer

In patients diagnosed as endometrial cancer by thorough pathologic examinations, Lynch syndromes are screened by (1)immunohistochemical staining (for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2), (2) tests of microsatellite instability and (3) clinical criteria (Amsterdam I or II criteria and Bethesda criteria). For patients with any suspicious discoveries of Lynch syndromes from aforementioned screening methods, a molecular diagnosis with next-generation sequencing for mismatch repair genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM) is given to confirm Lynch syndromes. For patients of Lynch syndromes and endometrial cancer, relatives of blood lineage are tested by Sanger method or qPCR to find out carriers of mutation genes of Lynch syndromes.

Being tested
immunohistochemical staining, tests of microsatellite instability, clinical criteria of Lynch syndromes, sequencing for mismatch repair genes
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms, Hereditary Nonpolyposis, Endometrial Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms, Hereditary Nonpolyposis and Endometrial Neoplasms, run by Lei Li at 1 site in China.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2018. 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 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?

Contact Lei Li, MD (13911988831 ext. +86, lileigh@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Distribution of Lynch syndromes in endometrial cancer (time frame: 2 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 NCT03291106, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Nov 2018.
