About this study

Official title: An Open Label Randomized Phase 2, Pilot Study to Investigate the Effectiveness of Palliative Chemotherapy in Stage IVB, Recurrent or Persistent Carcinoma Cervix

Experience with substituting carboplatin for cisplatin is limited in advanced and recurrent cervix cancer and there has been no counterpart to GOG 158, which documented therapeutic equivalency of cisplatin/paclitaxel and carboplatin/paclitaxel for treatment of ovarian cancer, performed in a cervix cancer population.

Read the detailed description

This trial will be a prospective, randomized phase II pilot study. Consecutive patients of metastatic, recurrent or refractory carcinoma cervix enrolled in gynecology clinic at IRCH, AIIMS will be taken into study after taking informed consent. Patients will be randomized into two arms. Each arm shall contain 20 patients. The patients shall receive paclitaxel and carboplatin q3wk in first arm and paclitaxel and carboplatin q1 wk in second arm.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Paclitaxel and carboplatin in people with Metastatic Carcinoma to the Uterine Cervix and Recurrent Carcinoma Cervix, run by All India Institute of Medical Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Time to progression (length of time from start of chemotherapy to evidence of cancer progression. (time frame: 6 months). 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 Jul 2015.
