What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause at 3 Years

    Original outcome was Progression-Free Survival (PFS) probability at 3 years. PFS=time from baseline to progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. Probability is not an accepted "Measure Type", so number of progression-free patients still at risk and cumulative number of patients that had an event (PD or death of any cause) are presented.

    Measured: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Progressive Disease or Death Due to Disease Under Study at Various Time Points

    Original outcome was Time to Progressive Disease (TTPD), which is the time from baseline to event (progressive disease or death due to study disease). The median TTPD was not achieved and therefore the cumulative number of participants with event (and those still at risk) at various time points are presented.

    Measured: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively

  2. Local Failure Rate

    Local failure rate (LFR) was defined as the the proportion of per-protocol participants who had progressive disease (PD) in the cervix or pelvis. LFR = The number of (a) participants who progressed in the cervix or pelvis divided by (b) the number of participants in each arm. (LFR=a/b).

    Measured: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively

  3. Tumor Response

    Tumor response rate (TRR) defined as number of qualified responder patients with confirmed complete or partial response.

    Measured: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively

  4. Number of Participants Who Died From Any Cause at Various Time Points

    Original outcome was Overall Survival, which was defined as time from baseline to death from any cause.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause (includes 60 month follow-up period)

  5. Number of Participants With Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause at Various Time Points

    Original outome was Progression-Free Survival, which was defined as time from baseline to progressive disease or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Brachytherapy in people with Cancer of Cervix, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 7 sites in 7 countries.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, India, Mexico, Pakistan and 2 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 25 May 2009). 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?

Number of Participants With Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause at 3 Years (time frame: Tumor assessments at baseline, weekly during chemoradiation & brachytherapy, on Day 1 of adjuvant Cycles 1&2 for Arm A, at the 30-day post-study visit, every 4/6 months for 12/48 months of the short/long post-study follow-up periods respectively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00191100, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Aug 2009.
