April 30, 2024 updated by: Inês Antunes, Fundacao Champalimaud

POSE (POs Surgery Endometrial Cancer) - Phase I/II Study to Access SBRT as a Replacement for Brachytherapy in Intermediate and High Risk in Endometrial Cancer

This phase I/II feasibility study of hypo-fractionated, image-guided Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to the vaginal cuff in intermedium and high risk endometrial cancer. The primary endpoints are SBRT feasibility and dosimetrical reproducibility to HDR brachytherapy, inter/intra-fractional target motion assessment and toxicity rates. Secondary endpoints are quality of life measures, local control, disease free survival and overall survival.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This phase I/II feasibility study of hypo-fractionated, image-guided Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to the vaginal cuff aims to reproduce adjuvant High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy dose distributions in patients operated for intermediate and high risk endometrial carcinoma. The study will employ devices to accurately reproduce pelvic anatomy and mitigate target motion and will make use of real-time on-line tracking. Eligible patients will receive three SBRT sessions to a prescription dose of 7 Gy to the vaginal cuff (with 4 to 7 days interval). SBRT will start within 4 to 8 weeks post-hysterectomy. The study will enroll a total of 30 patients. After treatment, patients will be followed-up at 3 months (+/- 6 weeks), at 6 (+/- 6 weeks) and every 6 months (+/- 6 weeks) thereafter for a total of 2 years. The duration of accrual in the study will be up to 3 years. Toxicity and outcome will be compared to published data on the standard modality of care (HDR brachytherapy). Patients' quality of life measures will be collected with validated questionnaires at the baseline and during follow up. Recurrence rates and survival data will be reported.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
