E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare overall survival (OS) of patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy or to observation.
Patients with medium and high-risk stage I and II endometrial cancers have, despite radical surgery, a rather high risk for progression.
Combination chemotherapy regimen of paclitaxel-carboplatin is proposed in this study, as this combination is effective and well tolerated.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•Disease Specific Survival (DSS)
•Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
•Toxicity (both acute and late)
•Compliance
•Quality of Life (QOL) and symptom control will be assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-EN34
•Rate of isolated pelvic relapse
•Rate of isolated distant relapse
•Rate of mix local and distant relapse
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The specific translational research objectives are:
1. To evaluate the prognostic and predictive values of tumor biomarkers from tissue collected at the initial surgery for the clinical outcome to chemotherapy or observation (eg. PFS and OS).
2. To evaluate the prognostic and predictive values of tumor biomarkers from tissue collected at the initial surgery for certain parameters measured prior to/at study entry, such as a) relation to stage and grade of the disease; and b) presence of certain toxicities to chemotherapy.
3. To evaluate protein expression using immunohistochemical (IHC), and to analyze the obtained results with the purpose to develop a optimal classifier for selecting patients into sub-group for individual treatment strategies (responsible researcher: E Høgdall).
4. To evaluate prognostic or predictive markers, such as EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, PIK3CA, PTEN, TP53 and FBXW7 with the purpose of a optimal characterization of patients with the purpose of future individual treatment strategies (responsible researcher: F Amant).
5. The Translational Research Steering Committee keeps the freedom to change the TR if new developments indicate more useful research can be done on these samples.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Only node-negative patients are eligible: Histological confirmed endometrial carcinoma with no macroscopic remaining tumour after
primary surgery and lymph-node negative disease, with one of the following postoperative FIGO 2009 stage and grade:
a.Stage I grade 3 endometrioid adenocarcinoma
b.Stage II endometrioid adenocarcinoma
c.Stage I and II type 2 histology (clear cell, serous, or squamous cell
carci-noma, or undifferentiated carcinoma)
2. Patients with prior therapy:
a. Patients have undergone hysterectomy (total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), radical hysterectomy, laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy) and
& bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy (BSO) (or RH) and+ pelvic lymphadenectomy (LNE) within the past 10 weeks.
b. LNE: minimum 12 pelvic nodes (6 from each side) should be removed. Para-aortic LNE is optional
c. Omentectomy strongly recommended in type 2 disease (clear cell, serous, squamous cell carcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma)
d. Surgery performed within 10 weeks of randomization. If the dates for hys-terectomy and lymph node dissection are different, 10 weeks are
counted from the last surgery, and in that case the gap between two surgeries should not exceed 8 weeks.
3. Other inclusion criteria
a. Patients must give informed consent according to the rules and regulations of the individual participating centres
b. Patients have not received any other anticancer therapy other than surgery.
c. Adjuvant vaginal brachytherapy is not recommended, though permitted in both arms. In chemotherapy arm, VBT timing of VBT should
not cause delay in chemotherapy delivery.
d. Patients must have WHO performance status of 0-2
e. Patients must have an adequate bone-marrow, renal and hepatic function (WBC ≥3.0x109/L, neutrophils ≥1.5x109/L, platelets ≥
100x109/L, total S-bilirubin <2 x upper normal value, ALAT <2.5 x upper normal value, estimated GFR >50 ml/min (measured or calculated
according to Cockroft-Gault or Jeliffe). Up to 5% deviation for hematological values and 10% deviation for s-bilirubin and ALAT are
tolerated.
f. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
g. Patients must be fit to receive combination chemotherapy
h. Patient's age > or = 18 years

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Target Disease Exceptions
1. Carcinosarcoma, Sarcomas or small cell carcinoma with
neuroendocrine differentiation.
Prohibited Treatments and/or Therapies
2. External Beam Radiotherapy
3. Concurrent cancer therapy
4. Concurrent treatment with an anticancer investigational agent or
participation in anotheranticancer clinical trial
Other exclusion criteria
5. Previous or concurrent malignant disease except for curatively treated
carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
6. Active infection or other serious underlying medical condition, which
might prevent the patient from receiving treatment or to be followed.
7 . Whatever reasons which interferes with an adequate follow-up
8. Patients who are breast feeding must stop breast feeding before
enrolment in the trial and must not do so during whole trial period,
otherwise these patients are non-eligible |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of this trial is overall survival. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Survival is calculated from the date of randomization until the date of death. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Disease Specific Survival (DSS)
• Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
• Toxicity (both acute and late)
• Compliance
• Quality of Life (QOL)
• Rate of isolated pelvic relapse (central or pelvic wall)
• Rate of isolated distant relapse
• Rate of mix local and distant relapse |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Survival is calculated from the date of randomization until the date of
death.
The DSS is calculated from the date of randomization until the date of
death caused by cancer, Patients who die of non-disease-related causes
are censored at time of death.
The PFS is calculated as time elapsed from date of randomization to date
of progression or death of disease, whichever is the first registered
event. Vaginal, pelvic and distant relapses will be registered.
QoL will be registered during whole study period.
Toxicity will be graded according to the Common Terminology for
Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0) |
