Anemia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Maintaining Hemoglobin Levels Above 120 g/l With Erythropoietin Versus Above 100 g/l Without Erythropoietin in Anemic Patients Receiving Concurrent Radiation and Cisplatin for Cervical Cancer
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production to treat anemia in patients who have received chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in treating anemia in patients who have cervical cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
Assess the efficacy of raising and maintaining hemoglobin (Hgb) levels above 12.0 g/dL with
epoetin alfa vs maintaining Hgb levels above 10.0 g/dL without epoetin alfa on
progression-free survival, overall survival, and local control in anemic patients with
cervical cancer receiving concurrent radiotherapy and cisplatin. Compare the quality of life
of patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE:
This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to stage (IIB vs IIIB vs IVA),
method of brachytherapy (low-dose vs high-dose), and surgical staging of para-aortic nodes
(yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients undergo radiotherapy comprising pelvic external beam radiotherapy daily five
days a week for 5 weeks, followed by either 1 or 2 implants of low-dose rate intracavitary
brachytherapy or 5 fractions of high-dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy, followed by 3-5
days of parametrial boost radiotherapy. Patients receive cisplatin IV concurrently with
pelvic external beam radiotherapy on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and once during the week of
parametrial boost radiotherapy.
Arm II: Patients undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy as in arm I. Additionally, patients
receive epoetin alfa subcutaneously once weekly concurrently with radiotherapy and
chemotherapy. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, during weeks 3 and 6, within 1 week of
last brachytherapy, and every 3 months for 2 years. Patients are followed every 3 months for
2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 460 patients will be accrued for this study within 3.5 years.
