About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Hypoxia by EF5 (NSC#684681) Binding in Cervix Cancer

RATIONALE: Knowing the level of oxygen in tumor tissue may help predict the effectiveness of anticancer therapy. EF5 may be effective in measuring oxygen in tumor tissue and helping to predict the effectiveness of anticancer therapy.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of EF5 in detecting tumor hypoxia in patients who have stage IIB, stage IIIB, or stage IVA cervical cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the relationship between the level of EF5 binding and pretreatment hemoglobin level, tumor size, and stage of disease in patients with stage IIB, IIIB, or IVA cervical cancer.
  • Determine whether pretreatment tumor hypoxia (measured by EF5 binding) is associated with overall survival, progression-free interval, and local control in these patients.
  • Determine the relationship between EF5 binding and CD-31 labeling (tumor vasculature) and Ki-67 labeling (cellular proliferation) in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive EF5 IV over 1-2.5 hours on day 1. Tumor hypoxia is measured using immunohistochemical techniques. Biopsies are collected 1-2 days later. Blood is collected before EF5 is administered and again at the time of surgery.

Patients are followed approximately 1 month after surgery.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EF5, immunohistochemistry staining method and biopsy in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2013.
