Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Telephone counseling may help reduce depression and anxiety and improve the well-being and quality of life of cervical cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well psychosocial support works in African-American, Latina-American, or European-American cervical cancer survivors.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety the combination of TRANSKRIP ® vs placebo plus Carboplatin/Paclitaxel as first line treatment in patients with recurrent-persistent cervical cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation) for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer. Pembrolizumab, a type of immunotherapy called a checkpoint inhibitor, will be administered after or during chemoradiation.

The purpose of this phase II trial is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of nimotuzumab injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for initially inoperable locally advanced cervical cancer.

Registry participants with advanced malignancy or myelodysplasia will have a sample of their tumor or tissue analysed for genetic alterations using next generation sequencing (NGS) performed in a lab that has been certified to meet a high quality standard. Treatments and outcomes will be reported to the registry to allow further understanding of how genetic differences can lead to better diagnosis and treatments.

The purpose of this study is to define an effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy of cervical cancer patients treated by VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) based external beam radiotherapy, polyradiosensitization by cisplatin and gemcitabine and interstitial brachytherapy.

From the global burden of Cervical Cancer (CC), 85% occurs in developing countries, representing 12% of cancer in women. In Mexico CC ranks second in incidence and mortality among women. The National Institute of Cancer in Mexico (lNCAN) receives annually about 500 patients with CC, 80% of which are diagnosed with locally advanced disease. Furthermore, 10 to 20% of these present kidney deterioration. The main reason for kidney disease is ureteral obstruction, other causes include age and comorbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension. The standard treatment for locally advanced disease consists in concomitant chemo-radiotherapy based on cisplatin (QT-RT), followed by brachytherapy, with an absolute benefit of 10%. However, the use of cisplatin in patients with renal disease may be questionable, considering it is a nephrotoxic treatment. Given that renal dysfunction limits the standard treatment efficiency because of the widely known nephrotoxicity of cisplatin, in most Cancer Centers of our country, patients with renal dysfunction receive only radiation therapy, even though it has proven less effective than concomitant QT-RT, limiting disease-free and overall survival of these patients. Venook et al. used gemcitabine as a radiosensitizer in patients with cancer and renal dysfunction. Our group, has observed encouraging results using gemcitabine as an alternative to cisplatin in concomitant treatment with radiotherapy, in CC patients with renal insufficiency. 89% of patients had complete response and improvement in renal function, with an enhanced creatinine clearance after treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the safety of gemcitabine as an alternative treatment for CC patients with locally advanced disease and renal deterioration. We propose this clinical trial to assess the safety of treatment with gemcitabine and specifically on renal function in patients with renal deterioration. It is important to take into consideration that CC in advanced stages produces pain, transvaginal fetid discharge and general discomfort. It also causes side effects secondary to renal failure such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anemia, among others. These effects have a significant impact on the quality of life of these patients. Cancer treatment and its side effects, besides the implications of a nephrostomy catheter or ileostomy bag, determine the deterioration in the quality of life of the patient, during and sometimes after treatment. Thus it is of utmost importance to evaluate the factors that could help improve the quality of life of patients and explore the factors that deteriorate it. This clinical trial aims to generate scientific evidence to help make the best decisions concerning the treatment of patients with cervical cancer and renal impairment, and the impact on their quality of life.

this is a prospective clinical trial using intensity modulated radiotherapy（IMRT）for the treatment of cervical cancer patients with recurrent disease within the previously irradiated field. Sixty patients will be enrolled after careful selection to meet the including criteria and excluding criteria. A primary course of 36Gy will be prescribed to the recurrent site and a further 9-24Gy of dose escalation will be prescribed to the gross tumor volume in the second course according to the toxicities and the shrinkage of tumor. Weekly concurrent cisplatin of 30mg/m2 by five weeks will be administrated intravenously to the selected patients. Acute and late toxicities will be monitored and survival endpoints will be tracked with our follow-up protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this approach.

The APROVE study is a prospective single-center single-arm phase-II study. Patients with cervical or endometrial cancer after surgical resection who have an indication for postoperative pelvic radiotherapy will be treated with proton therapy instead of the commonly used photon radiation. A total of 25 patients will be included in this trial. Patients will receive a dose of 45-50.4 Gray in 1.8 Gray fractions 5-6 times per week using active raster-scanning pencil beam proton radiation. Platinum-based chemotherapy can be administered if indicated. The primary endpoint of the study is the evaluation of safety and treatment tolerability of pelvic radiation using protons defined as the lack of any CTC AE Grade 3 or 4 toxicity. Secondary endpoints are clinical symptoms and toxicity, quality of life and progression-free survival. The aim is to explore the potential of proton therapy as a new method for adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy to decrease the dose to the bowel, rectum and bladder thus reducing acute and chronic toxicity and improving quality of life.

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BCD-100 (JSC BIOCAD, Russia) in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy and bevacizumab as first-line treatment in patients with recurrent/persistent or metastatic cervical cancer.
