About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized,Two-Arm Clinical Study: An Investigational Arm Containing Nimotuzumab in Combination With Radiotion Therapy and Cisplatyn, and a Control Arm With Radiation Therapy and Cisplatin for the Definitive Treatment of Stage IB and IVA Uterine Cervical Carcinoma

The primary study objective will be to assess the efficacy of the combination of radiation therapy with nimotuzumab and cisplatin, as compared to the combination of radiation therapy plus cisplatin in the treatment of Uterine Cervical Carcinoma (UCC).

The secondary study objectives will be safety and tolerability evaluations, to determine treatment feasibility and the interim efficacy evaluation according to other parameters routinely used in oncology.

Read the detailed description

This will be a phase II, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter, and two-arm study. The study will be conducted in Brazil and has the purpose of determining the activity and safety of nimotuzumab in terms of overall and distant disease-free survival, radiological and clinical gynecological examinations, as well as by biopsy, if indicated, progression-free survival, local control of long-term disease, frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events, frequency of severe treatment-emergent adverse events.

All participating patients will sign a consent form before they undergo any study-related procedure.The eligible patients will have stage IB and IVA uterine cervical carcinoma and they will be randomized to one of two treatment groups.

Randomization and treatment assignment will be performed by a company specifically contracted for such purpose and will be per research site and disease stage (IB2 to IIIA versus IIIB to IVA), 1:1.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nimotuzumab, Cisplatin and Brachytherapy in people with Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma, run by Eurofarma Laboratorios S.A. at 7 sites in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Local control of disease (time frame: 1 year). 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 14 Jul 2014.
