Radiation Therapy Compared With Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Endometrial Cancer

February 12, 2014 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

WHOLE ABDOMINAL RADIOTHERAPY VERSUS CIRCADIAN-TIMED COMBINATION DOXORUBICIN-CISPLATIN CHEMOTHERAPY IN ADVANCED ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA -- PHASE III

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for endometrial cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare radiation therapy with chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced endometrial cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare overall survival, progression-free interval, and patterns of failure of maximally debulked patients with stage III/IV endometrial carcinoma treated with whole-abdominal irradiation vs. doxorubicin/cisplatin. II. Compare the incidence and type of acute and late adverse events observed with these two treatment regimens. III. Compare changes in fatigue, elimination, and neurologic impairment that impact on quality of life in patients treated with these two regimens. IV. Assess the difference in short-term versus long-term impact on quality of life between the two treatment groups. V. Compare quality-of-life outcomes over time between these two treatment groups.

OUTLINE: Randomized study. Arm I: Radiotherapy. Whole-abdominal irradiation using equipment with photon energies ranging from 6 to 25 MV. Arm II: 2-Drug Combination Chemotherapy. Doxorubicin, DOX, NSC-123127; Cisplatin, CDDP, NSC-119875.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: It is anticipated that 355 patients will be entered over 7.4 years.
