Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

For locally advanced cervical cancer, radical radiation with concurrent chemotherapy remains the standard treatment recommended by NCCN. However, in more than 35% of cases, tumor persistence recurrence or metastasis would occur after chemoradiation. Nimotuzumab, belongs to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, has proved to be useful in multiple solid tumors, such as NPC, colorectal cancer, etc.

In recent years, nimotuzumab was also applied in recurrence or metastasis cervical cancer. It was proved to be well tolerated and might have a role in the treatment of advanced cervical cancer. However, there is no publication about nimotuzumab used in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: control group

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 60-90 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. Patients also undergo external-beam radiation therapy once daily, 5 days a week, for approximately 5 weeks. Patients then undergo high-dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy.

Drug: Cisplatin

Radiation: External Beam Radiation Therapy

Radiation: Internal Radiation Therapy

Experimental: experimental group

Patients receive cisplatin and undergo external-beam radiation and brachytherapy as the patients in control group. Patients also receive nimotuzumab during the external radiotherapy.

Drug: Cisplatin

Radiation: External Beam Radiation Therapy

Radiation: Internal Radiation Therapy

Drug: nimotuzumab
