Effectiveness of Chemotherapy in Metastatic or Recurrent Carcinoma Cervix

July 7, 2015 updated by: Harish P, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

An Open Label Randomized Phase 2, Pilot Study to Investigate the Effectiveness of Palliative Chemotherapy in Stage IVB, Recurrent or Persistent Carcinoma Cervix

Experience with substituting carboplatin for cisplatin is limited in advanced and recurrent cervix cancer and there has been no counterpart to GOG 158, which documented therapeutic equivalency of cisplatin/paclitaxel and carboplatin/paclitaxel for treatment of ovarian cancer, performed in a cervix cancer population.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This trial will be a prospective, randomized phase II pilot study. Consecutive patients of metastatic, recurrent or refractory carcinoma cervix enrolled in gynecology clinic at IRCH, AIIMS will be taken into study after taking informed consent. Patients will be randomized into two arms. Each arm shall contain 20 patients. The patients shall receive paclitaxel and carboplatin q3wk in first arm and paclitaxel and carboplatin q1 wk in second arm.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
