Study of Weekly Paclitaxel and Cisplatin in FIGO IB2 and IIA2 Cervical Cancer Followed by Radical Hysterectomy

October 27, 2017 updated by: Huei-Jean Huang, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Phase II Study of Weekly Paclitaxel and Cisplatin in FIGO IB2 and IIA2 Cervical Cancer Followed by Radical Hysterectomy

The purpose was to establish a quick (7-day) cycle schedule of paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) combining with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) NAC regimen could be tolerated without interfering the following surgical treatment and a favorable overall survival rate for stages IB2 and IIA2 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, open-label, Simon's 2-stage, phase II study of paclitaxel and cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with FIGO IB2 or IIA2, squamous cell cervical carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

Primary Objectives:

• Overall survival

Secondary Objectives:

  • Safety
  • Progression-free survival
  • Response rate
  • Postoperative RT/CRT rate
  • To assess Quality-of-life

An estimate of 64 evaluable patients will be enrolled in this phase II investigation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
overall survivial
Time Frame: January 31, 2023 (5 years)
The primary objective is to determinate the difference in 5-year survival rate of subjects with NAC+RH-PLND compared with standard CCRT. Based on the pilot research, the 5-year survival rate of NAC+RH-PLND is expected to be around 87.5%. Thus, a sample size of 64 subjects in NAC+RH-PLND group is required for correctly detecting a 12.5% difference between 5-year OS rate of NAC+RH-PLND group and a reference value 75% of standard CCRT in order to achieving an 80% power at a significance level 0.05.
