Alternate Title

Comparison of Two Combination Chemotherapy Regimens Plus Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Endometrial Cancer

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase III	Treatment	Closed	Not specified	NCI	GOG-0184 ECOG-G0184, RTOG-EN0130, NCT00006011

Objectives

1. Compare survival and progression-free survival in patients with stage III endometrial carcinoma treated with tumor volume-directed pelvic radiotherapy with or without paraaortic radiotherapy followed by cisplatin and doxorubicin with or without paclitaxel.
2. Compare short and long-term toxic effects of these treatment regimens in this patient population.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically confirmed advanced endometrial carcinoma with any histology, including:
  • Clear cell and serous papillary carcinoma



• Surgical stage III disease, including:
  • Positive adnexa
  • Tumor invading the serosa
  • Positive pelvic and/or paraaortic nodes
  • Involvement of bowel mucosa
  • Intraabdominal metastases
  • Positive pelvic washings
  • Vaginal involvement within the radiation port



• Must have had prior surgery, including hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
  • Tumor maximally debulked to a maximum residual diameter of no greater than 2 cm
  • Paraaortic lymph node sampling allowed
    • If positive, must have negative chest CT scan



• No recurrent disease



• No parenchymal liver metastases



• No disease outside the abdomen

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy:

• Not specified

Chemotherapy:

• No prior chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy:

• Not specified

Radiotherapy:

• See Disease Characteristics
• No prior pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy
• No prior radiotherapy for prior malignancy

Surgery:

• See Disease Characteristics

Patient Characteristics:

Age:

Expected Enrollment

A total of 614 patients (307 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 5.2 years.

Outline

This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to radiotherapy field (pelvic vs extended field).

Within 8 weeks after surgery, patients receive tumor volume-directed pelvic radiotherapy with or without paraaortic nodal radiotherapy once daily for 5 consecutive days for up to 16 weeks after surgery.

Within 8 weeks of completing radiotherapy, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 chemotherapy treatment arms.

• Arm I: Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 30 minutes immediately followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) or pegfilgrastim on days 2-11.



• Arm II: Patients receive doxorubicin and cisplatin as in arm I, paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 2, and G-CSF SC or pegfilgrastim on days 3-12.

Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
