Study Design

Total Participants: 198
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: Doxorubicin
Phase: 2
Study Start date:
January 27, 2025
Estimated Completion Date:
December 31, 2030

Study Description

This is a biological driven study comprising:

  • a multicenter, randomized and comparative phase II trial designed to demonstrate whether adding 4 cycles of post-operative chemotherapy improves relapse-free survival as compared with follow-up (standard management) in patients with resected FIGO stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma, considered at high-risk according to CINSARC NanoCind® signature.

  • a prospective cohort for patients with resected FIGO stage I uterine leiomyosarcoma, considered at low-risk according to CINSARC NanoCind® signature.

HIGH-RISK (HR) CINSARC patients will be randomized post-operatively between the two arms of treatment, i.e. standard treatment (active post-surgical surveillance) or chemotherapy, with a 1:1 randomization on one factor: morcellation versus no morcellation of uterine tumor.

LOW-RISK (LR) CINSARC patients' data will be prospectively collected
