Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, parallel-cohort Phase II clinical study, which is planned to enroll 220 subjects with advanced cervical cancer who have failed or cannot tolerate first-line or above platinum-based chemotherapy
The para-aortic lymph node involvement in the advanced stage of cervical cancer is a poor prognostic factor for overall survival. Concomitant chemo-radiotherapy has become the standard treatment for advanced cervical cancer. In case of para-aortic lymph node involvement, an extension of radiotherapy fields is recommended. A prospective multicentre study shown that the survival rate of patients with node ≤ 5 mm and which benefited from the expansion of radiotherapy fields was identical to the survival of pN0 patients. However, due to a specific disease, this technique should not be performed in all patients. It is necessary to reliably select patients with retroperitoneal lymph node involvement. For this, it is recommended that prior to the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy, nodal staging surgery with a definitive histological analysis. So we propose to use molecular diagnostic test OSNA (One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification) to improve lymph node metastasis detection sensitivity to achieve ultra-staging compared to conventional histology.
Chemoradiotherapy has become the standard of care for women with locally advanced cervical cancer. The available data support a 30 to 50% reduction in the risk of death from cervical cancer for women with locally advanced disease undergoing radiotherapy (RT) and concomitant cisplatin-based chemotherapy compared to RT alone. Despite the fact that this is currently the best treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, 5-year overall survival is still only 52%. The fully human, agonist monoclonal antibody mapatumumab binds to the Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptor 1 (TRAIL-R1, DR4) and induces cytotoxicity in multiple tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo. In multiple phase I and phase II studies, mapatumumab appeared to be safe both as single agent and in combination with chemotherapy, including cisplatin. In cervical cancer cell lines, mapatumumab induced apoptosis in 51% of the cells. Mapatumumab in combination with irradiation increased apoptosis to 83%. In this phase 1b/2 study, the investigators will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of mapatumumab in combination with cisplatin and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
