Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms"

This study will determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) for oral bosutinib when used in combination with pemetrexed. The MTD is the highest dose of bosutinib with pemetrexed that can be given without causing severe side effects. This study will also test the safety of this combination and see what effects (good or bad) it has on participants and their cancer.

BVAC-C is an immunotherapeutic vaccine using B-Cell and Monocytes as antigen-presenting cells. This study is consists of 2 parts. Phase I is for safety evaluation, and Phase IIa is for efficacy assessment.

Cervical cancer is the most common reproductive malignancy in developing country. Due to local invasion, radical hysterectomy cannot be performed in advanced cervical cancer (FIGO IIB - IVA) , so that radiation combined with chemoradiation (RCTX) is a traditional treatment nowadays. Lack of precise treatment strategies, recurrent ratesand metastasisis high ,and the 5-year survival rate is less than 50%. Therefore, it needs to explore a new strategy for improving the prognosis of advanced cervical cancer. The prognosis of cervical cancer is closely related to its stages ,while the current FIGO clinical stage is too subjective , for example different gynecologic oncologists may give different diagnosis to the same patient. MRI, CT, PET/CT imaging examinations are commonly used as a referrence for clinical staging, but the sensitivity and specificity are not satisfied. In addition, lymph node metastasis significantly impacts the prognosis of cervical cancer . However, the lymph node invasion is not in current staging criteria. Precision treatment after surgical staging is recommended by NCCN recently .Surgical staging in patients with advancedcervical cancer is safe and does not delay primary RCTX in few randomized study.Whether overall survival benefit the long-term clinical follow-up surgical staging is unknown.Blocking bilateral uterine artery can effectively reduce the tumor size and increase the operability , which has been conformed in locally advanced cervical cancer. Furthermore, ovarian dysfunction caused by RCTX could be avoided by ovarian transposition via surgical staging . Based on this, we suggesta new surgical stagingfor patients with advanced cervical cancer , which includinglaparoscopic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy , uterine blood vessel blocking and ovarian transportation, in order to perform individualized postoperative RCTX, reduce tumor load , preserve ovarian function and improve life quality.

The aim of this prospective randomized pilot study is to verify if the operative time of a Radical abdominal hysterectomy (LRH) with pelvic lymphadenectomy for early stage cervical cancer (FIGO stages IA2-IB1-IIA<2cm) and for advanced stage cervical cancer (FIGO stages IB2-IIA>2cm-IIB) submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with complete clinical response could be further reduced using 3D Laparoscopy (Olympus Medical Systems Corp) versus standard laparoscopy

The following is an open label, non comparative, pilot study of palliative treatment as a second, third line or more of treatment in patients with recurrent, persistent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer; it has a limited sample of 15 patients with the primary goal of evaluating the response (defined as: Complete, partial or stable disease) to treatment with a Monoclonal Antibody, Nimotuzumab, on a weekly basis + CDDP 50mg/m2/BSA as a single agent every 3 weeks for patients with good renal function (Creatinine clearance => 60) or Gemcitabine 800 mg/m2/BSA in patients with renal failure (Creatinine clearance <60). Secondary objectives consist of evaluating disease-free survival, overall survival and assess patient tolerance to treatment with Nimotuzumab.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and the HPV-specific immune responses of different doses of ISA101 vaccine with or without pegylated IFNα as combination therapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. To qualitatively assess the safety profile and the HPV-specific immune responses of ISA101b vaccine compared to ISA101 at the same dose levels. To assess the safety and the HPV-specific immune responses of ISA101b vaccine with carboplatin, paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of integrated boost radiation therapy when given with concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin).

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different methods of radiation and their side effects and comparing how well they work in treating endometrial and cervical cancer after surgery.

[F-18] Fluorothymidine PET imaging will be used to create a radiation therapy treatment plan to avoid active bone marrow in the pelvis. This will be done to evaluate if sparing bone marrow will help maintain blood counts. This would impact chemotherapy administration.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance and usability of the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System and Cervical Applicator as incorporated into the physician's current standard treatment practice and in replacement of high-dose-rate after-loaders using Iridium-192 or low-dose-rate Cesium treatments. Data will be collected on treatment delivery, safety, and acute toxicity. Our hypothesis is that the treatment is safe as incorporated into the physician's current standard of practice.
