Medroxyprogesterone in Treating Patients With Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Corpus
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
Sponsors and Collaborators: Gynecologic Oncology Group
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00064025
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Hormone therapy using medroxyprogesterone may be effective in treating endometrioid cancer.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well medroxyprogesterone works in treating patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the uterine corpus (the body of the uterus, not including the cervix).


Condition Intervention Phase
Endometrial Cancer
Drug: medroxyprogesterone
Procedure: conventional surgery
Procedure: gene expression profiling
Procedure: neoadjuvant therapy
Phase II

MedlinePlus related topics: Cancer
Drug Information available for: Medroxyprogesterone Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase II Pilot Investigation Of The Relationship Of Short Term Depo-Provera (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) Exposure To The Morphologic , Biochemical, And Molecular Changes In Primary Endometroid Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Corpus

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Histologic response [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Steroid receptor status as assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Growth and apoptosis as assessed by IHC [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: October 2003
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the efficacy of medroxyprogesterone, in terms of induction of histologic response, in patients with progesterone receptor-positive vs progesterone receptor-negative endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus.
  • Determine the early and late changes in gene expression at 72 hours and 21 days in patients treated with this drug.
  • Examine the mechanisms surrounding the dynamic changes in endometrial tumor cells by determining possible correlations among histologic response, steroid receptor status, immunohistochemical measures of growth and apoptosis, and gene expression profiles in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, multicenter study.

Patients receive medroxyprogesterone intramuscularly once approximately 3 weeks before surgical hysterectomy.

A subset of 15 patients has tissue collected by pipelle biopsy or curettage at baseline, 72 hours after medroxyprogesterone therapy, and during surgery for gene expression arrays.

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

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.
