Clinical Trial Summary

External radiation given in 25 fractions or so together with weekly chemotherapy and followed by 5 or 6 fractions of brachytherapy is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. We hope to develop external moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy of cervical cancer based on adaptive radiotherapy.The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and treatment-related toxicity of moderately hypofractionated adaptive radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Description:

This is an investigator-initiated efficacious, single-center, open-label clinical trial study. This study hypothesizes that the use of external moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy of cervical cancer based on adaptive radiotherapy. A dose of 43.35Gy in 17 fractions is delivered to clinical target volume (CTV). Patients receive cisplatin based concurrent chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is acute toxicity.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Acute toxicity	This outcome is assessed by physicians during each follow-up appointment, and scored according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 . Clinically relevant toxicities of gastrointestinal, genitourinary, vaginal and non-specific general symptoms (i.e. fatigue, malaise and pain) will be collected. Hematological disorders will also be collected through weekly blood work checks. Acute toxicities will be collected at baseline, and then weekly during radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy and at 3 months after completion of radiation.	3 months
Secondary	Late toxicity	Late toxicities will be collected from 3 months after completion of radiation onwards until the end of follow-up.	3 years
Secondary	Response evaluation evaluated with RECIST 1.1	Evaluated with RECIST 1.1	One month after treatment
Secondary	Disease-free survival	Disease-free survival was defined as the period from the diagnosis of cervical cancer to events that included death or disease progression at local, regional, or distant sites or until the date of the last follow-up.	3 years
Secondary	Overall survival	Overall survival was defined as the period from the diagnosis of cervical cancer to the date of death or last follow-up.	3 years
Secondary	Quality of life (QoL)	QoL will be measured by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire. The EPIC questionnaire contains 32 questions measuring patient function. Each question has a response option ranging from 0 or 1 (best) to 3, 4, or 5 (worst). The responses then correlate to a scoring scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. The scores can then be added to come up with an overall quality of life score.	3 years
Secondary	Quality of life (QoL)	QoL will evaluated by the EORTC QLQ-C-30 questionnaire.QLQ-C30 questionnaire is used for all cancers and has several symptom scales, five functional scales (physical, emotional, social, role, cognitive) and a global health status scale. Response options are a four-point Likert scale from "not at all" to "very much" or a seven-point Likert scale from "very poor" to "excellent."	3 years
