NCT ID: NCT03834571 Withdrawn - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

Testing the Addition of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin Given After Standard Chemotherapy and Radiation for Cervical Cancer in HIV-positive Women

Start date: May 31, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy given with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin work in treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women with cervical cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. They may either kill the cancer cells by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy to the pelvis destroys potential cancer cells in the pelvic area and significantly reduces the risk of tumor recurrence in the pelvic area. It is not yet known if giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin afterward may work better than than just chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating HIV-positive patients with advanced cervical cancer.
