Radiation Therapy With or Without Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Recurrent Endometrial Cancer - Full Text View

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00492778

Purpose

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with endometrial cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying radiation therapy and cisplatin to see how well they work compared with radiation therapy alone in treating patients with recurrent endometrial cancer.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Arm I: Active Comparator Patients undergo external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the pelvis on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, and 36-40. After completion of EBRT, patients undergo intracavitary low-dose rate or high-dose rate brachytherapy* or low-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy*	Procedure: brachytherapy Given intracavitarily or interstitially Procedure: radiation therapy Given to the pelvis
Arm II: Experimental Patients undergo EBRT as in arm I and receive cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients then undergo brachytherapy* as in arm I.	Drug: cisplatin Given IV Procedure: brachytherapy Given intracavitarily or interstitially Procedure: radiation therapy Given to the pelvis

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

Determine whether pelvic radiotherapy and cisplatin are more promising with respect to progression-free survival than pelvic radiotherapy alone in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer limited to the pelvis and vagina.

Secondary

Compare the sites of recurrence in patients treated with these regimens.
Compare overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
Compare the prognostic significance of the location (central pelvis versus vagina) and size of the recurrence, in addition to the prognostic significance in the salvage setting, in terms of histological subtype, grade, age, race, performance status, and the presence of lymph-vascular space involvement of the original tumor at the time of initial hysterectomy, in patients treated with these regimens.
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients undergo external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the pelvis on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, and 36-40. After completion of EBRT, patients undergo intracavitary low-dose rate or high-dose rate brachytherapy* or low-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy*.
Arm II: Patients undergo EBRT as in arm I and receive cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients then undergo brachytherapy* as in arm I.

NOTE: *IMRT boost is allowed for patients who are not candidates for brachytherapy.

In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.
