About this study

In order to formulate strategies to improve adherence to best practice guidelines, as well as utilization of novel therapies, investigators must understand current practice patterns surrounding tumor genetic testing in endometrial cancer. The aim is to survey a representative sample of gynecologic oncologists who belong to the society of gynecologic oncology, via an email survey, to better understand current practices surrounding tumor genetic testing as well as determine if there have been any changes to practice since the publication of recent trials on the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective: Proportion of physicians reporting the use of different tumor genetic testing strategies among newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients.

Secondary Objectives:

  • Explore the use of informed consent in tumor genetic testing in endometrial cancer
  • Explore clinician confidence in utilizing tumor genetic testing to guide treatment decisions.
  • Explore the impact of recent publications regarding immunotherapy on the use of tumor genetic testing in endometrial cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of providers reporting the use of different tumor genetic testing strategies among newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients

    The primary outcome is to estimate the percentage of providers who report the use of different tumor testing strategies. Investigators will calculate the frequencies of responses to each testing strategy and then compare the percentage of physicians who choose different strategies, using a chi-square or Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Frequency of providers using different strategies of informed consent in tumor genetic testing in endometrial cancer

    Investigators will calculate the number of frequencies of different tumor testing informed consent strategies among physicians.

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Number of providers reporting confidence in utilizing tumor genetic testing to guide treatment decisions

    Investigators will calculate the number of providers who are very confident, moderately confident, a little confident or not at all confident in their ability to explain tumor testing strategies and results.

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Number of providers who change their counseling or testing strategies for endometrial cancer

    Investigators will compare the number of providers who have changed their counseling or testing strategy based on their familiarity with recent publications regarding immune-checkpoint inhibitors in advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer using a chi-square or Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 0 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 19 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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: This was a national survey of physicians. Per the protocol, they were only allowed to be contacted twice and they received less surveys back than anticipated.). 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?

Percentage of providers reporting the use of different tumor genetic testing strategies among newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients (time frame: 4 months). 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 19 Apr 2024.
