Cancer of Endometrium Stage IECLATNCT03438474
Endometrial Cancer Lymphadenectomy Trial
A study testing Standard surgical procedure for endometrial cancer and systematic lymphadenectomy (LNE) in people with Cancer of Endometrium Stage I and Cancer of Endometrium Stage II, run by Philipps University Marburg at 61 sites in 3 countries.
Trial summary
The primary aim of this trial is to ascertain whether or not systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy (LNE) does have a significant impact on overall survival (OS) in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) FIGO Stages I or II and high risk of recurrence. Read more about this study

- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- histologically confirmed EC of clinical stages T1b and T2 (all histological types) and stage T1a G3 type 1 (endometrioid, endometriod with squamous differentiation, mucinous) or type 2 tumors (any percentage of serous or clear cell component) or carcinosarcoma
- a) no previous surgery concerning EC (primary surgery) or b) surgery after hysterectomy (e.g. for presumed low risk endometrial cancer) is allowed within 8 weeks after hysterectomy if no LNE was performed (secondary surgery)

Who cannot join
- stage pT1a, G1 or G2 tumors of type 1 histology

- recurrent EC
- preceding chemo-, radio, or endocrine therapy for EC
Show all 13Show fewer
- any concomitant disease not allowing surgery including lymphadenectomy and/or chemotherapy
- any medical history indicating excessive peri-operative risk
- any current medication containing considerable surgical risk (e.g. bleeding: due to oral anticoagulating agents)
- any known disorder or circumstances making participation in trial and follow-up questionable. Insufficient compliance is expected.
- patients with second malignancies if disease or treatment might have an impact on the patient's prognosis
- known HIV-infection or AIDS
- simultaneous participation in other clinical trials if not permitted by the steering committee (translational or QoL studies not interfering with the objectives of ECLAT are allowed)

About this study
Official title: Pelvic and Para-aortic Lymphadenectomy in Patients With Stage I or II Endometrial Cancer With High Risk of Recurrence
The primary aim of this trial is to ascertain whether or not systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy (LNE) does have a significant impact on overall survival (OS) in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) FIGO Stages I or II and high risk of recurrence. Secondary aims will be to evaluate the effect of LNE on disease free survival (DFS) and quality of life, as well as the complications and side effects of LNE and the number of resected lymphnodes. 640 patients with histologically confirmed EC with high risk of recurrence (stage pT1b - pT2, all histological subtypes; pT1a, G3 endometrioid or serous or clear cell EC or carcinosarcomas) will be randomized. In Arm A, a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and in case of serous or clear cell EC additionally an omentectomy will be performed. In arm B in addition a systematic pelvic and para-aortic LNE up to the level of the left renal vein will be performed.
- Being tested
- Standard surgical procedure for endometrial cancer, systematic lymphadenectomy (LNE)
- Medical subject headings
- Endometrial Neoplasms
What participants receive

| Arm B systematic lymphadenectomy (LNE) | Experimental | In addition to standard procedures as defined for Arm A:
systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy (LNE) up to the renal vessels Receives: Procedure: Standard surgical procedure for endometrial cancer; Procedure: systematic lymphadenectomy (LNE) |
