Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved

Summary

This trial is testing whether a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy can be a safe and effective option for people with high-risk endometrial cancer after surgery. Instead of the usual weeks of daily radiation, the study uses just five sessions of a higher dose, guided by advanced imaging. The main goal is to see how well patients tolerate this approach, focusing on short-term side effects in the bladder and digestive system.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy (27.5 Gy in 5 fractions) delivered via image-guided IMRT/VMAT
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more convenient and potentially less toxic radiation option for endometrial cancer patients after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II safety study with a small number of participants, so results may not be definitive. The higher dose per fraction could increase side effects, and long-term outcomes are not yet known.
