Alternate Title

Radiation Therapy Compared With Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Uterus

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase III	Treatment	Completed	21 and over	NCI	GOG-0150 ECOG-G150, NCT00002546

Objectives

1. Compare the survival, progression-free interval, and failure patterns in patients with optimally debulked stage I-IV carcinosarcoma of the uterus treated with whole abdominal radiotherapy vs ifosfamide and cisplatin.
2. Compare the incidence and type of acute and late adverse events observed with these treatment regimens in this patient population.

Entry Criteria

• Histologically confirmed primary homologous or heterologous carcinosarcoma of the uterus (corpus and cervix)



• Surgical stage I-IV disease, including positive adnexa, tumor invading the serosa, positive pelvic and/or para-aortic nodes, involvement of the mucosa of the bowel, bladder, or rectum, intra-abdominal metastases, positive pelvic washings, or vaginal involvement within planned radiation port



• Prior total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and maximum tumor resection of all gross intra-abdominal/pelvic disease, including grossly involved pelvic and para-aortic nodes within 8 weeks before study
  • No greater than 1 cm residual disease



• Cervical sarcomas also allowed



• No metastasis beyond the abdominal cavity at diagnosis, including the following:
  • Parenchymal liver metastasis
  • Lung metastasis

Expected Enrollment

A total of 216 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 years.

Outline

This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

• Arm I: Patients receive whole abdominal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 4 weeks, followed by radiotherapy boost to the pelvis 5 days a week for 2.2 weeks.



• Arm II: Patients receive cisplatin IV followed by ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-4. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 3 courses.

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