About this study

Official title: Weekly Cisplatin or Weekly Liposome Paclitaxel Concurrent Radiation Therapy in Treating Elderly People With Cervical Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of weekly Cisplatin /Liposome paclitaxel concurrent chemoradiothrapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer in elderly women.

Read the detailed description

Concurrent radiotherapy is the standard treatment of inoperable cervical cancer .Due to the physical conditions, elderly patients usually associated with medical complications, so generally just receive radiotherapy alone. Recently, some retrospective studies have shown that the impact of chemotherapy did not cause an increase in the complication rate among elderly patients as compared to younger patients with cervical cancer, and may improve the survival when concurrent with radiotherapy. Cisplatin and paclitaxel are two effective drug in treating cervical cancer, but whether they are safe enough for elderly when concurrent with radiotherapy, there are no clearly reports. In this study ,we replace the conventional dose chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin or lipsome paclitaxel , to compare the efficiency and safety of weekly cisplatin / liposome paclitaxel concurrent chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy alone in the treatment of cervical cancer in elderly patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate: Complete response (CR)+ Partial response (PR) rates base on RECIST evaluation system.

    Measured: 1 month after the treatment completed

  2. Adverse Events

    Record the Number of participants with adverse events and the Grades of the AE according to CTCAE v3.0

    Measured: Participants will be followed from the treatment begin to 1 month after the treatment end.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Local Control Rate

    Measured: Participants will be followed every year for the duration of 5 years

  2. Tumor Free Survival Rate

    Measured: From date of randomization until tumor recurrence or metastasis,assessed up to 5 years

  3. Overall Survival Rate

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing irradiation, Cisplatin and liposome paclitaxel in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Xi'an Jiaotong University.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 1 month after the treatment completed). 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 8 May 2012.
