ACT-LACC: Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Data of survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) are still limited and inconsistent. We will investigate if ACT has survival benefit over CCRT alone.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) is the standard treatment for cervical cancer of FIGO stage IIB-IVA or so called locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). However, failure rate after treatment is still as high as 30% to 40%.
This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial which evaluates whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after CCRT will improve treatment outcome comparing to CCRT alone.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival [3 years]
3-year progression free survival
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival [3 years]
3-year overall survival
Other Outcome Measures
- Response rate [4 months after completion of CCRT]
Response rate will be assessed at 4 months after completion of CCRT (expected to be at 4 months after CCRT in the control arm or at 1 month after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy in the study arm)
- Cost-utility analysis [Cost of treatment and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, completion of CCRT, q month for 3 months after CCRT, after each cycle of ACT, 2 years after completion of treatment, and when there are tumor persistence, progression or recurrence]
Cost and quality of life
- Adverse event [up to 6 months after treatment]
Adverse events occurred during and after treatment
