About this study

Official title: Influence of Radiation Patterns Following Circadian Rhythm Upon Response of Radiotherapy of Uterine Cervical Cancer : Melatonin as a Radiosensitivity and Biological Marker

The study was a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) or clinical trial comparing the results of radiation treatment of 2 treatment groups, i.e. subject groups irradiated in the morning and in the afternoon, to check melatonin levels in cervical cancer patients. Since it is known that the function of melatonin is as an antiproliferation substance or hormone, induces apoptosis, inhibits invasion and metastasis.

Being tested
Afternoon Radiation
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Afternoon RadiationRadiation

    Melatonin, a hormone of the pineal gland, which levels are characteristic of circadian patterns, regulated with low levels of excretion in the afternoon, rises gradually during the night, peaks at dawn, and falls back in the afternoon and late afternoon. Many studies prove the function and potential of melatonin as circadian biomarkers and well correlated with the development of cancer.The function of melatonin is as an antiproliferation substance or hormone, induces apoptosis, inhibits invasion and metastasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation response

    We assessed the change in tumor size between the initial examination and the fourth week after the completion of irradiation, to classify the tumor response based on the modified WHO criteria which categorized as good response or poor response.

    Measured: Four weeks after the completion of radiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Afternoon Radiation in people with Cervical Cancer and Radiotherapy Side Effect, run by Universitas Indonesia.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 23 Aug 2022. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Radiation response (time frame: Four weeks after the completion of radiation). 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 NCT05511740, which also lists 4 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 23 Aug 2022.
