About this study

Non-interventional retro-prospective study on Endometrial tissue samples taken from surgically treated patients.

Read the detailed description

The picture of precisely coordinated immune adaptations over time at the maternal-fetal interface level and altered in pregnancy complications, could reveal a specific "immune clock" in tumors. The study aims to decipher mechanisms of immunodeficiency by helping to predict recurrence in patients with endometrial cancer and identify molecular pathways that are turned on or off in progression from lesions early to advanced neoplasia. This will allow the discovery of potential immunotherapy targets to interfere with the immune escape activation process or to reactivate/re-educate the immune response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Validate the differential expression of LOX-1 and NALP3 receptors.

    Validate the differential expression of LOX-1 and NALP3 receptors at different steps progression of endometrial cancer; identify immune signatures shared between using transcriptomics the maternal-fetal interface and the different stages of progression of endometrial cancer; investigate their role functional in the immune escape process in endometrial carcinoma and/or in the pro-inflammatory response.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characterize phenotypic alterations.

    Characterize the phenotype and functional alterations of multiple candidate biomarkers relevant selected in AIM1 (surface antigens / cytokines / molecular pathways), a level of the cells of the immune infiltrate, in the different stages of cancer progression to the endometrium.

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Evaluate the predictive and/or prognostic value.

    Evaluate the predictive and/or prognostic value of the immuno-score deriving from the data of Aim 1 and Aim 2 alone or in combination with clinical and prognostic risk factors known histopathological findings, expressed in the ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO consensus conference.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer, run by Regina Elena Cancer Institute at 2 sites in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 23 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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 Benito Chiofalo, Doctor (ND, benito.chiofalo@ifo.gov.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Validate the differential expression of LOX-1 and NALP3 receptors. (time frame: 36 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 23 Feb 2024.
