About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial To Evaluate The Efficiency And Safety Of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy In Locally Advanced Cancer Cervix

  1. This strategy might suggest a therapeutic option to preserve ovarian function in young patients among which locally advanced cancer cervix is common. Based on previous studies, neoadjuvant irinotecan and cisplatin followed by radical hysterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy has the potential to improve the prognosis compared the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy(CCRT).
  2. To offer an alternative effective treatment line replacing concurrent chemo-radiotherapy to avoid dramatic radiotherapy induced complications which might impede a safe successful surgery.

2- To reduce the proportion of patients who will go for radiotherapy, consequently those patients will still have a chance of probable less complicated surgery in case of local recurrence.

3- This study will involve neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in treating patients with stage II-III cervical cancer for reducing tumor size, minimizing blood loss during surgery and eradication of possible micro-metastasis.

4- To Improve the likelihood of achieving complete tumor resection after NACT. 5- Investigators will further follow-up those patients for more detailed assessments to confirm whether NACT can improve patients' prognoses, survival, quality of life, and the standard of care.

Read the detailed description

Treatments for locally advanced cervical cancer, defined as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ib2-III include primary surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT). In many countries, CCRT is accepted as the standard therapy for such tumors. However, each of these therapies has both advantages and disadvantages, however, more recently it has been given using neoadjuvant chemotherapy with intravenous irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) and cisplatin. DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that regulate and control DNA topology. Topoisomerase 1 catalyzes the transient cutting of a single DNA strand, the passage of another DNA strand through the break and then resealing of the DNA break. Camptothecin (CPT), an antitumor alkaloid isolated from Camptotheca acuminata, interferes with DNA topoisomerase 1 function. Cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinums II) is a first generation platinum compound. Platinum-based NACT followed by radical hysterectomy has been proposed as an alternative approach to radiotherapy or CCRT in locally advanced cervical cancer, especially of squamous cell histology, with objective response rates ranging from 69.4% to 90.2%, pathological optimal response rates ranging from 21.3% to 48.3%, 5-year disease free survival (DFS) rates ranging from 55.4% to 71% and 5-year overall survival(OS) rates ranging from 58.9% to 81%, respectively.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cis Platinum + IrinotecanDrug

    Also called No other interventions, investigators are trying only one intervention to test if it could be an alternative effective line for treating the patients with locally advanced cancer cervix.

    Studying the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant cisplatin and irinotecan use in treatment of locally advanced cancer cervix.

Study groups in NCT04789941
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single arm of patients with locally advanced cancer cervixExperimentalSingle arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of use of neoadjuvant cisplatin and irinotecan in treatment of patients with locally advanced cancer cervix. A combined regimen of intravenous infusion of cisplatin 80mg/m2 on day 1 with irinotecan 60mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8 of every 21- day cycle for 3 cycles. Then, MRI pelvis will be used for assessment of disease response. According to RECIST criteria, patients who will develop at least stable disease, will be sent for radical hysterectomy. Afterwards, 6 weeks after the surgery, another 3 cycles of the same regimen will be given to the participants as adjuvant treatment.
Receives: Drug: Cis Platinum + Irinotecan

What is being measured

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

  1. Respectability of the tumor

    Evaluation of the effect of use of neoadjuvant cisplatin and irinotecan on the tumor size when assessed by MRI pelvis cancer

    Evaluation of the tumor size by MRI pelvis after giving 3 cycles of cisplatin and irinotecan. So, baseline( prechemotherapy) MRI pelvis and another re-evaluation MRI pelvis will be used for proper assessment.

    Measured: Evaluation will be done by MRI pelvis after 3 cycles( of the 21- day cycle) of chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 2- year relapse free survival(RFS)

    Evaluation of the effect of use of neoadjuvant cisplatin and irinotecan on the 2- year RFS of patients with locally advanced cancer cervix

    Measured: 2 years

  2. 2- year overall survival(OS)

    Evaluation of the effect of use of neoadjuvant cisplatin and irinotecan on the 2- year OS of patients with locally advanced cancer cervix

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Toxicity profile

    Investigators will assess the incidence of treatment related adverse events ( e.g neutropenia,mucositis,renal insufficiency, neuropathy, nausea and vomiting)and its severity on the CTCAE scale of 5 grades ( mild,moderate,severe,life- threatening, and death related to AE. )

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cis Platinum + Irinotecan in people with Locally Advanced Cervical Carcinoma, run by Assiut 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 10 Mar 2021. 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?

Contact Mai ABDELGELIL, Oncologist (00201026556852, maihemmat86@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respectability of the tumor (time frame: Evaluation will be done by MRI pelvis after 3 cycles( of the 21- day cycle) of chemotherapy). 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 NCT04789941, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 10 Mar 2021.
