Curcumin in Advanced Cervical Cancer

December 5, 2022 updated by: Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia, Columbia

Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial of Oral Turmeric Supplementation in Patients With Advanced Cervical Cancer

Determine the efficacy and safety of turmeric in the treatment of patients with advanced cervical cancer. Efficacy will be determined through radiological and histopathological criteria through the rate of response to treatment, duration of response, the rate of objective response and disease control, as well as overall survival and disease-free survival. The safety of therapy will be evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) classification

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

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

A placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial will be developed in patients with advanced cervical cancer who have an indication for radiotherapy. Those who accept to participate will receive the standard treatment with established chemo-radiation and will be randomized in two arms, the experimental will receive 500mg of the commercial presentation (curcugreen) c / 6h VO x 16 weeks and the control arm will receive placebo. The operative hypotheses are: the addition of curcumin to the treatment improves the cumulative probability of 3-year overall survival by 20% and improves the treatment response rate. The statistical analysis will include a Cox proportional hazards model and the results of the groups will be compared with the Student's T-test or ANOVA. This research hopes to collect tissue samples for future research that allows the identification of predictive biomarkers and disease prognoses.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.
  • Phase 2

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 to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Curcumin
Chemotherapy (cisplatin) plus concomitant radiation therapy (teletherapy + high or low rate brachytherapy) + Curcugreen (BCM95) 2000mg daily (each 6h)
Drug: Curcumin
BCM-95® (CURCUGREEN®) is a 100 percent pure extract of turmeric with enhanced bio-availability and bio-efficacy. Its powerful health-promoting benefits are derived from the colorful and aromatic qualities of the Indian spice

Chemotherapy (cisplatin) plus concomitant radiation therapy (teletherapy + high or low rate brachytherapy) + Placebo Capsules 500mg 2000mg daily (each 6h)
Drug: Placebo oral tablet

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
Compare overall survival and progression free survival
Time Frame: 3 yr
Global survival
3 yr
Compare the objective response rate using RECIST radiological criteria
Time Frame: 1 yr
Objective response by RECIST criteria

Compare the disease control rate
Time Frame: 1 yr
Disease control rate
1 yr

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.
