Trial summary

This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin followed by surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the vulva. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Radiation Therapy and Weekly Cisplatin Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally-Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva

This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin followed by surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the vulva. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed during surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the efficacy of radiotherapy and cisplatin, in terms of achieving a complete clinical and pathological response, in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva that is not amenable to standard radical vulvectomy.

II. Determine the toxicity of this regimen followed by surgery in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo radiotherapy daily on days 1-5 and receive concurrent cisplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats weekly for approximately 6.5 weeks (a total of 32 fractions of radiotherapy) in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Six to eight weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients with a complete clinical response may undergo incisional biopsy of the primary tumor and bilateral inguinal/femoral nodes (if the groin nodes were initially unresectable). Patients with microscopic or gross resectable residual disease may then undergo radical resection of the residual tumor. Patients with unresectable disease after the completion of chemoradiotherapy receive additional radiotherapy with 1-2 courses of concurrent cisplatin.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Receives: Radiation: 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy; Drug: Cisplatin; Procedure: Conventional Surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete Clinical and Pathologic Response

    Complete clinical and pathologic response is defined as the disappearance of all gross tumor during chemoradiation with no residual tumor present in the surgical specimen.

    Measured: Seven weeks after initiating treatment for clinical response and up to fifteen weeks for assessment of pathologic response.

  2. Treatment-Related Adverse Effects (Grade 3 or Higher) During Study Treatment Period

    Number of participants with a maximum grade of 3 or higher during the treatment period. Adverse events are graded and categorized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 2.0

    Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment, 30 days after the last cycle of treatment. Up to eleven weeks from the start of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy, Cisplatin and Conventional Surgery in people with Stage III Vulvar Cancer and Stage IVB Vulvar Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 103 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?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 20 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 103 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Oct 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete Clinical and Pathologic Response (time frame: Seven weeks after initiating treatment for clinical response and up to fifteen weeks for assessment of pathologic response.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 20 Nov 2017.
