Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed Stage I to III endometrial carcinoma who have undergone surgery and have no residual disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients with advanced-stage endometrial cancer or those who have not undergone the required surgical procedures may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates a de-escalated adjuvant treatment strategy for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer who have either POLE mutations or p53 wildtype/NSMP profiles. Participants will be enrolled in one of two sub-studies, focusing on the effectiveness of vaginal brachytherapy, adjuvant radiotherapy, or observation compared to standard treatment protocols. The goal is to determine if this new approach offers better outcomes than the conventional methods typically used for this type of cancer.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment options for patients with specific genetic profiles of endometrial cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using targeted therapies for specific genetic profiles in cancer treatment, suggesting potential success for this approach.

* Protocol treatment is to begin within 10 weeks of hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior pelvic radiation.
* Patients with a history of other malignancies, except: carcinoma in-situ without evidence of invasive disease when resected, adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, or other tumours curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years.
* Clinical evidence of distant metastasis as determined by pre-surgical or post-surgical imaging (CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis or whole-body PET-CT scan)
