Clinical trial for Cancer of Endometrium Stage I
Official title Endometrial Cancer Lymphadenectomy Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03438474
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if taking out these lymph nodes changes overall survival and disease‑free survival, and how it affects quality of life and surgery complications.
- Who it's for
- Women who have stage I or II endometrial cancer that is considered high risk for recurrence.
- What's involved
- All participants will have a hysterectomy and removal of both ovaries; half will also receive a systematic pelvic and para‑aortic lymph node removal up to the left kidney vein, assigned at random.
- Time commitment
- Participants are followed for several years after surgery with regular check‑ups to track survival and any side effects.

Who can take part
Ages 18 to 75, women only
You may be able to join if
- histologically confirmed EC of clinical stages T1b and T2 (all histological types) and stage T1a G3 type 1 (endometrioid, endometriod with squamous...
- a) no previous surgery concerning EC (primary surgery) or b) surgery after hysterectomy (e.g.
- absence of bulky lymph nodes
- performance status ECOG 0-1
- age 18 - 75 years
You likely can't join if

- absence of bulky lymph nodes
- performance status ECOG 0-1
- age 18 - 75 years
- written informed consent
- adequate compliance
- stage pT1a, G1 or G2 tumors of type 1 histology
- sarcomas (except for carcinosarcoma = malignant mixed Müllerian tumor)
- EC of FIGO stages III or IV (except for microscopical lymph node metastases)
- evidence of extrauterine disease by visual inspection
- recurrent EC
- preceding chemo-, radio, or endocrine therapy for EC
- 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)
