Study Summary

This trial will test if a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and drugs is safe for endometrial cancer. If safe, it would be tested for efficacy in a Phase III study.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with high-risk endometrial cancer who've had surgery. It's open to those with certain types of cancer cells, recommended for combined chemo and radiotherapy post-surgery, without prior pelvic radiation or evidence of spread beyond the pelvis. Participants must be able to perform daily activities with little to no assistance (ECOG 0-2) and give informed consent.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests how safe it is to use Carboplatin and Paclitaxel chemotherapy in sequence or at the same time as external beam radiotherapy after surgery. The main focus is on severe side effects from this treatment combination. Initially, 11 patients will be tested; if too many experience serious side effects, the study may stop early.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential serious side effects include significant non-blood related toxicities like organ damage (grade 3-4), and severe blood-related issues (grade 4). These could lead to stopping the treatment if they occur frequently among participants.
