Study Description

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the sentinel node policy in early stage endometrial carcinomas at intermediate and high risk of recurrence (by comparing the sentinel node policy to current initial staging protocols).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Endometrial Carcinoma	Drug: Pre-operative SN mapping with radionucleide; Drug: Intra-operative SN mapping with patent V blue dye; Drug: Intra-operative SN mapping with indocyanin green; Procedure: Full bilateral laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and Hysterectomy; Procedure: Current initial staging protocols	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

1. Routine exams required for diagnosis:

   • Endometrioid biopsy or product of a dilatation-curettage under hysteroscopy for diagnosis of histologic typing
   • Tumor assessment: Lombopelvic MRI (1.5 or 3T) with gadolinium injection, studied by steady and dynamic sequences. US and CT-Scan in case of intolerance to MRI should be discussed. FDG-PET may be an option.
2. Tumor board: The completed chart will be reviewed to confirm the risk group and indication.
3. Complete physical and gynecological examination by surgical oncologist followed by a consultation of anesthesiology to confirm the operability of patient.
4. Informed and signed consent form.

5. Study baseline assessment.

   Then,

6. Surgery should be performed within a maximum of 4 weeks from the first consultation, according arm allocated:

   Arm A: Sentinel node policy*

   Arm B:

   • Bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy (intermediate risk endometrioid)
   • Or Ilio-infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy (high risk endometrioid)

   • Or Pelvic + paraaortic lymphadenectomies (high risk non endometrioid)*

     • along with a peritoneal staging for each arm (cytology, random biopsies, infracolic omentectomy)
7. Second tumor board: after definitive pathological results of the hysterectomy-annexectomy and node (sentinel or not) specimens.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Pre-operative SN mapping with radionucleide; 1 Pre-operative Sentinel Node (SN) mapping with Nanocis or Nanocoll or Rotop-nanoHSA 2- Intra-operative SN mapping with patent V blue dye, or Intra-operative SN mapping with indocyanin green for patients with known hypersensitivity, allergy to patent V blue dye 3- Full bilateral laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and Hysterectomy: If bilateral SN are detected, all positive SN are removed, then the surgeon proceeds to a total hysterectomy. If unilateral SN are detected, surgeon will complete intervention with pelvic LN dissection on the opposite side, in accordance with risk group definition (ex: omentectomy for high-risk non endometrioid carcinomas). If non SN are detected, surgeon will proceed to a total hysterectomy, a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, a complete and bilateral pelvic LND with more enlarged dissection regardless the pathology	Drug: Pre-operative SN mapping with radionucleide; Preparation : four 1ml syringe (Nanocis, or Nanocoll, or Rotop-nanoHSA) are prepared per patient, each containing a total activity 10 MBq if the injection is planned the same day of surgery and in the operative theater OR each containing a total activity 30MBq if the injection is performed the day before the surgery.; Intracervical injection is performed by the surgeon, no more than 3-24 hours before surgery : 4 submucous injections with the filtered radiocolloid at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions. Each injection if performed at 2 mm of depth for a total activity of 40 MBq or a total activity of 120 MBq is the surgery is planned the day after the injection.; Sentinel Node detection by planar scintigraphy at 1 and 3h (if no detection at 1 hour), or by SPECT-CT imaging if available.; Other Name: Pre-operative Sentinel Node; Drug: Intra-operative SN mapping with patent V blue dye; Patent blue V dye are diluted with saline sterile solution to obtain 4ml of 50%. Four 1ml syringe, each containing a 50% patent blue dye solution, are prepared per patient.; Intracervical injection is performed by the surgeon. after anesthesis induction and incising the skin,under laparoscopic / laparotomy control to detect intraperitoneal injection of the tracer. Sub-mucous injections are performed with 50% diluted dye at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. At each positions : 1ml is injected deep into the stroma of the cervix (1cm), another 1ml is injected superficially (at 2mm depth). The time between the injection of the dye and the search for the SN must be as shortest as possible.; SN are detected by direct visualization of blue colored lymphatics and node; Other Name: Intra-operative SN mapping; Drug: Intra-operative SN mapping with indocyanin green; 1: Infracyanine powder is diluted in aqueous sterile water to obtain 4ml with a concentration of 1.25 mg/mL. Four 1ml syringe, each containing a 1.25 mg/mL Infracyanine dye solution, are prepared per patient. 2- Intracervical injection is performed by the surgeon, after anesthesis induction and incising the skin,under laparoscopic / laparotomy control to detect intraperitoneal injection of the tracer. Sub-mucous injections are performed with 50% diluted dye at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. At each positions : 1ml is injected deep into the stroma of the cervix (1cm), another 1ml is injected superficially (at 2mm depth). The time between the injection of the dye and the search for the SN must be as shortest as possible 3- SN detection by near-infrared fluorescence imaging; Other Name: Intra-operative Sentinel Node (SN) mapping with Infracyanine; Procedure: Full bilateral laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and Hysterectomy; Bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy (intermediate risk endometrioid); Or Ilio-infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy (high risk endometrioid); Or Pelvic + paraaortic lymphadenectomies (high risk non endometrioid); Other Name: Full bilateral lymphadenectomy
B : Current initial staging protocols; Current initial staging protocols	Procedure: Current initial staging protocols; Current French initial staging protocols

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Morbidity [ Time Frame: Up to 3 after surgery ]

   Per-operative morbidity will be assessed during surgery according to the Oslo classification of intraoperative unfavourable incidents.

   Early post-operative morbidity will be assessed up to 30 days and scored according to Clavien-Dindo scale. Distant complications, beyond day 30 for patients with no indication of a secondary surgical staging (e.g. secondary paraaortic dissection for pelvic pN1) will be evaluated in accordance with the NCI-CTCAE scale v4.03

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Rate of detected sentinel node [ Time Frame: During surgery ]
   number of patients with ≥ 1 Sentinel Node (SN) / total number of explored patients, and bilaterality
2. Rate of pN1 [ Time Frame: an average of 1 month after surgery ]
   n pN1 / total N
3. Disease free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years after surgery ]
   Time from the date of randomization to the first documentation of local, regional or distant disease or death, whichever occurs first.
4. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years after surgery ]
   Time from the date of randomization to the date of death (indicate if the death is due to disease progression or not).
5. Pronostic value of L1CAM on the risk of reccurrence [ Time Frame: an average of 1 month after surgery ]
   A standard staining with HES is carried out in a systematic manner as well as immunohistochemistry with polyclonal anti-L1CAM. If 10% or more of the tumor cells showed L1CAM staining, the sample is rated positive. The rate of L1CAM positive sample will be further correlated with the node involvement and disease recurrence.
6. Proteomic signature of positive SN [ Time Frame: an average of 1 year after surgery ]
   Detection of SN involvement with proteomics
