Evaluation of Hypoxia by EF5 Binding in Gynecologic Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Correlate the level of EF5 binding with pre-treatment hemoglobin level and tumor grade
and stage in patients undergoing surgery or biopsy for cervical, endometrial, or ovarian
epithelial cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Correlate pre-treatment tumor hypoxia (as measured by EF5 binding) with time to
progression and time to recurrence in these patients.
II. Correlate EF5 binding with CD-31 expression (tumor vasculature), Ki-67 expression
(cellular proliferation), and erythropoietin signaling in these patients.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive EF5 IV over 1-2½ hours on day 1. Approximately 1-2 days later, patients
undergo tumor resection or biopsy. Patients' tumor tissue samples undergo
immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry to detect EF5 binding levels. Patients' blood is
drawn immediately before and 30-60 minutes and 1-2 days after receiving EF5 to measure
systemic EF5 binding levels.
Patients are followed at 30-45 days after administration of EF5 and then every 3-6 months
thereafter.

Level of EF5 binding
The relationship between the level of EF5 binding and hemoglobin will be summarized by Pearson's correlation coefficient.
