Detection of Endometrial Cancer Through Risk Modelling

Non-Invasive Strategies for Early Detection of Uterine Cancer in Patients With Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The study goal is to investigate a non-invasive approach to predict endometrial cancer (EC) risk, better understand disease progression and identify opportunities for intervention. This two-part case-cohort prospective study will recruit patients whose abnormal uterine bleeding is being evaluated via endometrial biopsy. Participants will complete an online health questionnaire, and a subset will be invited to self-collect vaginal samples for sequencing. Selected sequenced participants will be invited for longitudinal monitoring (questionnaires, wearable fitness tracker) and an additional vaginal self-collection to identify persistent genetic mutations or microbiome alterations 6-8 months later.

Prior treatment

  • Started hormone therapy (HRT, birth control, IUD) in the past year (with the exception of tamoxifen)

Other illness

  • Endometrial sampling, pelvic radiation, or vaginal infection (vaginosis, yeast) in the past 3 months

Other

  • Study Part A:
  • Intercourse, vaginal product use, or douching in the past 48 hours
    • Study Part B/Longitudinal monitoring:
  • Same as Study Part A
  • EC or EIN, or anyone who is recommended a hysterectomy

Who the study is looking for

  • Study Part A:
  • 40 years and older
  • Experiencing unexplained abnormal uterine bleeding (i.e., not from IUD, etc.)
  • Have an intact uterus
  • Referred for an endometrial biopsy
    • Study Part B/Longitudinal monitoring:
  • Those selected for sequencing (from Part A) and who retained their uterus.
