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

Because of the apparent heterogeneity of stage IVB cervical cancer, at present there is no standard treatment.

This is a Phase II, single-center, single-arm, study of systemic chemotherapy plus lesion radiotherapy for primary stage IVB cervical cancer.

The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that primary lesion radiotherapy leads to an improvement in progression-free survival time (PFS)for stage IVB cervical cancer.

For those patients under the clinical management of the recruiting investigator, the investigator will review the patient's medical records and determine if they would be a candidate for the study.

Upon confirmation of all eligibility criteria, the subject will be enrolled.Patients with beyond abdominal pelvic lymph node metastasis will first undergo 2 cycle systemic chemotherapy（TP/TC），then to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy, and for patients with chemotherapy effective（CR+PR+SD) followed by the primary lesion of regional radiotherapy (external irradiation plus brachytherapy)，concurrent chemotherapy （TP/TC） may be given according to the patients tolerant，finally, the patient will complete a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy（TP/TC）.Distant metastasis of lymph node areas (e.g., supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinum, etc.) will be radiation after radiotherapy at the primary site according to patients tolerant.Patients with stage IVB cervical cancer with hematogenous metastasiswill first undergo 4 cycle systemic chemotherapy（TP/TC），then to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy, and for patients with chemotherapy effective（CR+PR+SD) followed by the primary lesion of regional radiotherapy (external irradiation plus brachytherapy)，concurrent chemotherapy （TP/TC） may be given according to the patients tolerant，finally, the patient will complete a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy（TP/TC），after the primary radiotherapy, the treatment regimen for distant metastasis will be determined by MDT discuss or consultation.Quality of life will be evaluated before and after treatment. During therapy, the patient will have a weekly physical exam, vital signs collected, evaluation for pain, and review any side effects.

Subjects will undergo a post treatment follow-up period after completion of their radiation therapy. During this follow-up period, subjects will return for a medical and history review with a complete physical examination, review of any side effects, evaluation for outcomes and toxicity, and QoL.

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
