About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Noninferior Randomized Controlled Study Comparing the Efficacy of Laparoscopic Versus Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer(Stage IB3,IIA2)

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether there is a difference between laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) in patient survival for Cervical Cancer (Stage IB3, IIA2).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare LRH (or robotic-assisted) and ARH in patients with cervical cancer (Stage IB3, IIA2), by a multicenter stratified randomized controlled study, mainly including the following aspects:

  1. To compare the differences in PFS and OS between patients receiving LRH and ARH.
  2. To investigate whether PFS and OS in LRH can be improved by more rigorous specification of surgical details (including tumor-free principles and standard surgical scopes).
  3. To assess postoperative complications and quality of survival.

What participants receive

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

  • Total Laparoscopic or Robotic Radical HysterectomyOther

    Radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is performed as standard type C RH by Q-M classification, including cardinal ligaments divided at pelvic sidewall and uterosacral ligaments divided at near the sacral origin and the upper 1/4 to 1/3 of the vagina.

  • Total Abdominal Radical HysterectomyOther

    Radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is performed as standard type C RH by Q-M classification, including cardinal ligaments divided at pelvic sidewall and uterosacral ligaments divided at near the sacral origin and the upper 1/4 to 1/3 of the vagina.

What is being measured

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

  1. the rate of OS at 5 years

    Compare between groups(Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% CI for the effect of treatment on the 5-year OS rate.)

    Measured: 5 years from surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the rate of PFS at 5 years

    The curves of PFS at 5 years will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The logrank test will be used to test the above hypothesis, the 5-year PFS rate difference and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the comparison between the two groups will be estimated.

    Measured: 5 years from surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total Laparoscopic or Robotic Radical Hysterectomy and Total Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 Nov 2021. 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 China. 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.

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 Hua Jiang, PHD ((021)33189900-6529, jianghua@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the rate of OS at 5 years (time frame: 5 years from surgery). 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 NCT04939831, 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 10 Nov 2021.
