Clinical summary

Summary

The ADELE clinical trial seeks to improve outcomes for people with high-risk endometrial cancer, who have a significant risk of relapsed after standard post-operative treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 or older, have been diagnosed with high-risk endometrial cancer, have completed prior surgical treatment with total hysterectomy, have not received any prior chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy, and are planned for adjuvant chemoradiation treatment.

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated (by chance)  to one of two groups.

One group (experimental group) will receive sequential adjuvant treatment of pelvic chemoradiation, followed by 4 cycles of the new combination therapy with Tislelizumab and carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy, followed by Tislelizumab for another 8 cycles.

The other group (control group) will receive the same treatment (standard treatment) without the addition of tTslelizumab. Participants will be followed up for 12 months to assess for relapse of endometrial cancer and symptoms of treatment.

It is hoped that this study may improve relapse rates in high-risk endometrial cancer by adding Tislelizumab immunotherapy to standard treatment.
