Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give radiation and chemotherapy to women with endometrial cancer. They want to see if it is as good as the standard way of giving these treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced endometrial cancer who've had a hysterectomy and possibly other related surgeries. It's open to those with certain stages of cancer, including stage IVA or IA-III if it's clear cell, serous papillary carcinoma, or carcinosarcoma. Participants need normal organ function and no history of heart issues in the past 3 months. They can't have had prior chemotherapy for any cancer.
What is being tested?
The UPPROACH study tests whether combining Intensity Modulated Proton Beam Therapy (IMPT) with chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) after surgery is as good at keeping patients on treatment as previous methods were. This phase 2 trial focuses on compliance rates compared to historical data from the GOG 258 study.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to carboplatin and paclitaxel such as nausea, hair loss, numbness in fingers or toes; IMPT may cause skin irritation or fatigue. Organ function will be monitored due to potential impact from both treatments.
