Filter by:ICK-Gyn is a prospective, multicentric, non-interventional investigator-initiated trial (IIT) that aims to investigate the prognostic value of CRP kinetics in advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies under immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy on the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Hyaluronan is an extracellular matrix protein that is involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Hyaluronan performs this activity through hyaladherins, which are intracellular and extracellular receptors. The purpose of this study was to compare the distributions of Hyaluronan Synthetase 2 (HAS2) and CD44s in healthy endometrial tissue samples obtained during the proliferative phase endometrium (PPE) and secretory phase endometrium (SPE), as well as pathologic samples diagnosed with benign endometrial hyperplasia (EH), endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), early stage of endometrial carcinoma (EC) (stage I/II) and advanced stage of endometrial carcinoma (stage III/IV) (n:5, each). By using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method, tissue samples that had been fixed with formalin passed through a regular paraffin follow-up protocol, and subsequently embedded in paraffin were stained indirectly with anti-CD44s and anti-HAS2 primary antibodies. Immunostaining intensity was graded as 0: negative, 1: weak, 2: moderate, 3: strong, and 4: very strong using a semiquantitative technique. The ANOVA test was used to assess the statistical significance of the findings. Statistical significance was defined as (p) values less than 0.05. While weak HAS2 and weak/moderate CD44s immunoreactivity was observed on the surface epithelium (SE)/glandular epithelium (GE) and stroma of the tissue samples acquired during PPE; weak/moderate HAS2 and moderate CD44s immunoreactivity were observed in SPE and EH groups; moderate/strong HAS2, strong CD44s immunoreactivity was observed in EIN; strong/very strong HAS2 and very strong CD44s immunoreactivity were observed in early-stage EC and advanced stage EC. It was determined that the immunoreactivity intensity increased at a statistically significant level in both early and advanced stage EC. The fact that HAS2 and CD44s, two intracellular receptors, have increased in endometrial carcinoma leads us to believe that they are likely to play a role in tumor development, invasion, migration, metastasis and that they may be useful in developing future treatment protocols targeting hyaluronan receptors.
The goal of this observational study is to identify and analyze the characteristics, treatment trends, prognostic factors and survival prognosis of Korean gynecologic cancer patients. Ultimately, the final goal is to contribute to the development of safe surgical methods and treatment for gynecologic cancer to improve survival rates.
Up to 60% of endometrial cancer cases are attributed to obesity, in part because obesity promotes development of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), and up to 40% of women with AEH go on to develop endometrial cancer. The increasing prevalence of obesity in premenopausal women has resulted in increasing rates of AEH in this age group. Hysterectomy with removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries is 100% effective in preventing endometrial cancer, but this approach results in infertility. Fertility-sparing treatments exist, such as treatment with oral or intrauterine progestin, but these treatments do not work uniformly and do not combat the underlying cause of endometrial cancer, which is obesity and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, up to 41% of women on progestin eventually experience relapse of AEH or endometrial cancer. Third, many patients have insulin resistance that may worsen with progestin therapy. Thus, to improve treatment of AEH and grade 1 endometrial cancer, prevent and reverse endometrial cancer, and allow women to preserve their fertility, the investigators must integrate an effective weight loss strategy to be given with progestin treatment. It is the hypothesis that premenopausal women with AEH desire uterine preservation will be more likely to have atypia-free uterine preservation at one year if they receive progestin in combination with a behavioral weight loss intervention versus progestin plus enhanced usual care.
This is a first-in-human phase I/II study to examine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in subjects with advanced cancers.
At present, endometrial carcinoma is one of the three most common malignant tumors in gynecology, and the incidence has been increasing year by year, causing a large health and economic burden to the society. Therefore, researchers regard the hierarchical management and precise diagnosis and treatment of endometrial carcinoma as an important direction for future research. In 2013, the American Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network proposed a molecular typing of endometrial carcinoma. In recent years, international scholars have conducted relevant research on the molecular characteristics of a large number of endometrial carcinomas and immunity, targeted therapy and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, the molecular characteristics of endometrial carcinoma and the choice of surgical route are still in a relatively lacking state. The previous research of the investigators' group was the first to propose the concept of selecting surgical routes for endometrial carcinoma based on molecular characteristics. Then, on this basis, the investigators' research group plans to carry out a prospective randomized controlled study to further analyze the impact of surgical routes on the short-term safety and long-term prognosis of endometrial carcinoma patients with different molecular characteristics, and transform it into a clinical decision-making technical index system for endometrial carcinoma surgical selection based on molecular characteristics and further promote and apply. The results of this study will make up for the shortcomings in the relevant fields of endometrial carcinoma research in the world to some extent, and become an important aspect of the decision-making system of clinical comprehensive precision diagnosis and treatment of endometrial carcinoma patients.
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to learn about TNG260, a CoREST inhibitor, in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors with a known STK11 mutation. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - the recommended dose for Phase 2 - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy - to determine the pharmacokinetics of TNG260 - to evaluate the initial antineoplastic activity Participants will receive study treatment until they experience an undesirable side effect, their disease progresses or until they withdraw consent.
In order to formulate strategies to improve adherence to best practice guidelines, as well as utilization of novel therapies, investigators must understand current practice patterns surrounding tumor genetic testing in endometrial cancer. The aim is to survey a representative sample of gynecologic oncologists who belong to the society of gynecologic oncology, via an email survey, to better understand current practices surrounding tumor genetic testing as well as determine if there have been any changes to practice since the publication of recent trials on the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in endometrial cancer.
To investigate the non-inferiority of disease-free survival in women who received hypofractionated intensity-modulated whole pelvic radiation therapy (2.5 Gy x 16 fractions) after curative surgery for stage III endometrial cancer.
Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has demonstrated to be feasible to reduce planning target volume (PTV) margins for postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer. To explore the value of reduced margins in oART for postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer, we conducted a prospective clinical trial to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of reduced margins.
