Summary

This trial is testing the anti-cancer drug triapine in women with uterine cancer. It will use markers from tissue samples to see if the drug stops the growth of tumor cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with specific types of uterine cancer who are planning to have a hysterectomy and haven't had previous cancer treatment. They must be in good health overall, with proper kidney, liver, and blood cell function. People with certain heart conditions or infections like hepatitis B or C need to have them under control. Pregnant women can't join, and participants should understand the study well enough to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Triapine's effectiveness when added to standard surgery followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy for uterine cancers. Researchers will look at tissue markers from samples collected during surgery to see how the tumor cells respond.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Triapine may cause side effects such as blocking enzymes needed for cell growth which could affect normal cells too leading to potential fatigue, digestive issues, changes in blood counts affecting immunity and healing, as well as possible allergic reactions.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (triapine, surgical resection)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive triapine IV over 2 hours on day 1. Patients then undergo surgical resection and tissue collection 6-8 hours after the initiation of the triapine infusion. Patients also undergo biopsy and collection of blood samples on study.
