Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the value of prophylactic extended-field irradiation (EFI), we conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy and toxicity of pelvic irradiation and prophylactic EFI in selected patients with cervical cancer treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. External beam radiation therapy is delivered with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase III randomized clinical trial. Cervical cancer patients without evidence of para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) and with at least one of the following characteristics are included in the present study: (a) Number of pelvic MLNs ≥ 2; (b)Short diameter of pelvic MLNs ≥ 1.5cm; (c)Pelvic wall involvement. Patients are randomly assigned to pelvic irradiation group and prophylactic EFI group. Patients in pelvic irradiation group receive pelvic irradiation, intracavitary brachytherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. Patients in prophylactic EFI group receive irradiation for pelvis and para-aortic lymph nodes region, intracavitary brachytherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. The upper border of clinical target volume (CTV) is at the level of renal vessels for patients in prophylactic EFI group. A dose of 45-50.4 Gy is delivered to CTV with IMRT in both groups. Patients receive cisplatin based concurrent chemotherapy (single cisplatin or cisplatin plus paclitaxel). The primary endpoint is progression-free survival.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pelvic Irradiation

Patients receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The CTV includes the gross tumor, cervix, uterus, parametrium, upper part of the vagina, and pelvic lymph nodes regions. The upper border of CTV is at the level of aortic bifurcation. A dose of 45-50.4Gy is delivered to CTV with IMRT.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pelvic irradiation

Intervention Type RADIATION

CTV covers pelvis.

Intracavitary brachytherapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

The total dose delivered to point A or high-risk CTV is ≥80Gy. For patients with larger-volume cervical tumor, the total dose is ≥85Gy.

Concurrent chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Cisplatin based concurrent chemotherapy, including cisplatin as a single agent or cisplatin plus Paclitaxel.

Prophylactic EFI

Patients receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The CTV includes the gross tumor, cervix, uterus, parametrium, upper part of the vagina, pelvic lymph nodes regions and para-aortic lymph nodes region. The upper border of CTV is at the level of renal vessels. A dose of 45-50.4Gy is delivered to CTV with IMRT.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Prophylactic extended-field Irradiation

Intervention Type RADIATION

CTV covers pelvis and para-aortic lymph nodes region.

Intracavitary brachytherapy
