Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be an open, non-randomised, clinical phase 2 trial, which will involve 30 women diagnosed with uterine papillary serous cancer. The researchers will investigate the effect of four cycles of paclitaxel/carboplatin, followed by whole pelvic external beam radiotherapy to a standard pelvis field (50.4 Gy) with or without a para-aortic boost with respect to the safety and efficacy of treatment, and patterns of recurrence.


Clinical Trial Description

Trial Objectives:

- To assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin +/- pelvic radiotherapy in the treatment of UPSC.

- To observe the patterns of recurrence following the administration of the combination of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin +/- pelvic radiotherapy in the treatment of UPSC.

- To assess the QOL, overall survival and disease free survival.

Treatment

Surgery: Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, +/- pelvic and aortic node sampling, omentectomy, peritoneal cytology.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy commences at the surgeon's and the medical oncologist's discretion and the time between surgery and start of chemotherapy will be recorded. One treatment cycle consists of 3 weeks.

Paclitaxel and Carboplatin will be administered as follows:

Day 1:

- Diphenhydramine 50 mg IV or po or phenergan 12.5 - 25 mg IV

- Cimetidine 300 mg or ranitidine 50 mg IV

- Dexamethasone 20 mg IV

- Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2

- Carboplatin AUC 6

Day 22: Repeat the cycle. This is Day 1 of the second cycle.

Day 43: Repeat the cycle. This is Day 1 of the third cycle.

Day 64: Repeat the cycle. This is Day 1 of the fourth cycle.

Day 85: After the fourth cycle of chemotherapy patients

Patients with stage 4 disease will continue with chemotherapy for a total of 6 cycles.

Patients with surgical stage 1b to 3c disease will receive whole pelvis external beam radiotherapy (50.4 Gy RD over 5 and a half weeks +/- paraaortic boost +/- vaginal vault brachytherapy boost). Radiotherapy will start 4 to 6 weeks after commencement of chemotherapy when the haematological count has recovered. ;
