Intervention/exposure
Study type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
STATEC is testing the use of a surgical procedure called lymphadenectomy (or lymph gland removal) to help guide further treatment in women with endometrial (womb) cancer. In patients who undergo lymph gland removal, the results of the lymph gland removal (e.g. node negative or node positive) will be used to select further (adjuvant) treatment.
Patients will be randomised to one of the following two arms, either prior to surgery or following hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO):
Group 1: Randomised treatment will be hysterectomy and BSO, plus lymphadenectomy. Patients randomised prior to hysterectomy and BSO will receive the lymphadenectomy as part of the same operation as the hysterectomy and BSO. Patients randomised after hysterectomy and BSO will receive the lymphadenectomy as a separate operation. Adjuvant treatment will then be determined by lymph node status. Node positive patients will receive adjuvant treatment to include chemotherapy with or without external radiotherapy, while node negative patients will receive brachytherapy (internal radiotherapy) only.
Group 2: Randomised treatment will be a hysterectomy and BSO without lymphadenectomy. Patients randomised after hysterectomy and BSO will receive no further surgery. Patients will then receive adjuvant treatment to include chemotherapy with or without external radiotherapy.
The chemotherapy, external radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy for patients in both Group 1 and Group 2 will be given as per standard practice at the treating hospital.

Statistical methods / analysis
The study plans to enrol 2000 participants internationally (including 240 in Australia/New Zealand).
The overall non-inferiority margin of 5 percentage points was agreed by the investigators to be clinically acceptable to patients and surgeons.
Using the exponential parameter of 0.0040, allowable hazard ratio of 1.272, and assuming 48 months accrual then a further 48 months study follow up (i.e. a maximum length of follow up of 96 months), requires 2000 patients to be recruited (500 deaths), with 85% power, and 5% two-sided statistical significance. With 80% power, the sample size is 1720 patients (430 deaths), and this would be the minimum target.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is testing the use of a surgical procedure called lymphadenectomy (or lymph gland removal) to help guide further treatment in women with endometrial (womb) cancer.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are a woman aged 16 years or above, have histologically confirmed high risk apparent International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I endometrial cancer.

Study details
Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups, Group 1 or Group 2.

Patients in Group 1 will have surgery with lymph glands removed. The results of the lymph glands will be used to decide on the further treatment. Women with cancer in their lymph nodes (‘node positive’) will receive chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. Women with no cancer in their lymph nodes (‘node negative’) will only receive an internal form of radiotherapy called brachytherapy and will not be given chemotherapy or external radiotherapy.

Patients in Group 2 will have surgery with no lymph glands removed. After surgery, all women in this group will then receive chemotherapy with or without external radiotherapy.

Specifics of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy will vary depending on the specific institution and individual doctor conducting the study.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is any difference in clinical response between patients in Group 1 and those in Group 2 and to determine whether lymph gland removal improves quality of life in some patients.
