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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants with advanced cervical cancer (metastatic, recurrent or persistent) who have received treatment with bevacizumab from 01 January 2015 to 01 January 2016 will be observed.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18 or older
  • Diagnosis of primary stage IVB, recurrent or persistent squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix which is not amenable to curative treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy
  • Retrospective clinical decision made to initiate therapy with bevacizumab (Avastin®) combined with standard chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin or topotecan and paclitaxel) between 01 January 2015 and 01 January 2016
  • All participants must have received at least one dose of bevacizumab combined with standard chemotherapy between 01 January 2015 and 01 January 2016 AND have at least 12 months of documented follow up, from treatment start, unless died or lost to follow up within the minimum study entry follow up period
  • Availability of documentation of for advanced cervical cancer (including prior treatment as applicable) and follow up in the participant's medical records

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participation during the study period in an interventional clinical trial or any other interventional study that may impact advanced cervical cancer outcome
  • Participants who have received prior therapy with any anti-VEGF drug, including bevacizumab

Other: No Intervention
This was an observational study.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Gastrointestinal (GI) and Genitourinary (GU) Fistulas and GI Perforations
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Participants with GI and GU fistulas and GI perforation events will be reported according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V4.0).
Up to 12 months

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants who Received Radiotherapy Prior to GI and GU Fistulas and GI Perforation Events
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Participants who received radiotherapy prior to GI and GU fistulas and GI perforation events will be reported.
Up to 12 months
Percentage of Participants who Received Internal, External and Other Radiotherapy
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Participants who received internal, external and other radiotherapy will be reported. External radiotherapy will include "Non Precision Orientated" that includes classic cobalt or "Precision Orientated" that includes Linear accelerator.
Up to 12 months
Number of Doses of Prior Radiotherapy
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Doses of prior radiotherapy will be reported.
Up to 12 months
Percentage of Participants With Selected Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Adverse events of special interest (AESI) for this study included: hypertension, proteinuria, wound healing complication, bleeding /haemorrrhage (including pulmonary haemorrhage and CNS bleeding), arterial and venous thromboembolic events (ATES; VTES), congestive heart failure (CHF), posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), fistula/abscess (other than genitourinary and gastrointestinal), gastrointestinal perforations and gallbladder perforation.
Up to 12 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD. There can be no unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions. In the case where the only target lesion is a solitary pelvic mass measured by physical exam, which is not radiographically measurable, a 50% decrease in the LD is required.
Up to 12 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of treatment to the first occurrence of progression, or death from any cause as assessed by the investigator. Progressive disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since study entry.
Up to 12 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
OS is defined as the time from the first dose of treatment to death from any cause.
Up to 12 months
