A Trial Comparing Adjuvant Chemotherapy With Observation After Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy of Cervical Cancer (With Pelvic or Para-aortic Node Involvement)

March 22, 2018 updated by: Wei-jun Ye, Sun Yat-sen University

Adjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Observation After Radiation With Concurrent Cisplatin of Cervical Cancer (With Pelvic or Para-aortic Node Involvement) :A Phase 3 Prospective Multi-institutional Randomised Controlled Trial

Cervical cancer with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement has a poor prognosis. Despite low-quality data, the routine practice to treat these patients is radiation with concurrent cisplatin. The aim of this study is to compare systemic chemotherapy with observation after radiation with concurrent cisplatin of cervical cancer ( with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement) for incidence of adverse events and local recurrence rate.

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

Detailed Description

  1. Background Cervical Cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of Chinese females. Women with evidence of para-aortic node involvement have a poor prognosis with a five-year survival rate of approximately 40 percent. Despite low-quality data, the routine practice to treat these patients is radiation with concurrent cisplatin. It is not clear whether systemic chemotherapy delivered following RT will obtain survival benefit.
  2. Objective The aim of this study is to compare systemic chemotherapy with observation after radiation with concurrent cisplatin of cervical cancer ( with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement) for incidence of adverse events, 3y-PFS and 5y-OS, .
  3. Patients

A patient will be enrolled when patient have:

  1. Pathologically diagnosed cervical cancer;

  2. pelvic or para-aortic lymph metastases, at least match one of following

    • CT or MRI scan shows pelvic or para-aortic node with a minimal axial diameter diameter ≥ 7mm in the largest plane
    • pelvic or para-aortic lymph node shows necrosis or extra capsular spread
    • PET/CT scan finds positive pelvic or para-aortic node lymph node
    • biopsy confirms lymph metastase
  3. Stage IB1-IVA diseases (FIGO system ver. 2014) without treatment before;
  4. Karnofsky Performance Scores ≥ 70;

4.Method

  1. Randomization is performed to divide the patients into the control group (Group A) and the experimental group (Group B). In Group A, observation is given after radiation with concurrent cisplatin. But in Group B, three cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy ( Paclitaxel plus Cisplatin) are administered after radiation with concurrent cisplatin. The regimen of adjuvant chemotherapy following radiation is Paclitaxel 135mg/m2 plus Cisplatin 60mg/m2 once 3 weeks.The Grade 3/4 adverse events (CTCAE criteria ver. 4.03), the 3-year progression-free survival of the 2 groups, the 5-year overall survival of the 2 groups are compared.
  2. In Group A and Group B, both the radiation method and the regimen of concurrent chemotherapy are the same.The gross tumor volume (GTVnd) is the lymph node lesion and given a dose of 60Gy. The clinical target volume (CTV) is according to the lymph drainage pathway and given a dose of 45Gy. The regimen of concurrent chemotherapy is Cisplatin 80mg/m2 once three weeks.

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
3-year progression-free survival (3y-PFS)
Time Frame: 3 years after the date of adjuvant chemotherapy completion
Percentage of patients in a treatment group who are alive without disease get worse for a 3-year period of follow-up after the date of adjuvant chemotherapy completion
3 years after the date of adjuvant chemotherapy completion

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

Incidence of grade 3/4 adverse event
Time Frame: Once a week during therapy, up to 5 years after the date of adjuvant chemotherapy completion
Incidence of patients in a treatment group who manifest a specific adverse event (such as myelosuppression) of grade 3/4. Incidence is calculated for each adverse event respectively and severity is evaluated on basis of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria ver. 4.03.
Once a week during therapy, up to 5 years after the date of adjuvant chemotherapy completion

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
