Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a single arm, open-lable Phase I clinical trial. Eligible patients will have Histologically proven stage IB2-IVA cervical cancer. We hypothesize that Nab-paclitaxel in combination with cisplatin and radiotherapy may have anti-tumor activity in patients with cervical cancer. Nab-paclitaxel has not previously been combined with conventional RT-CT to treat cervical cancer.

Full description

During the phase I study, patients will receive radiation therapy to pelvis (50.4 Gy in 28fractions), and followed by HDR intracavitary (30Gy in 5 fractions) brachytherapy. Concurrent chemotherapy was administered with weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m^2) and an escalating dose of weekly Nab-paclitaxel starting at 10 mg/m^2 up to 70 mg/m^2. Chemotherapy agents were administered in escalating doses to cohorts of three patients at each dose level.

• Patients previously undergoing abdominal or pelvic radiotherapy；
• Patients with CNS diseases or brain metastases；
• Other malignant tumors other than cervical cancer occurred in the past 5 years；
• Patients who had Grade 2 or above Peripheral neuropathy；
• Patients had uncontrolled serious medical condition that the investigator considered may affect the subject's to receive treatment under the study program, For example, patients with severe medical diseases, including severe heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled infection, active peptic ulcer, etc；
• Dementia, changing of mental state or any mental illness which could hinder understanding or informed consent or fill out questionnaires；
• History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any therapeutic ingredient；
• Combined with other malignant tumors excepted pancreatic cancer within the first 5 years of randomization, excepted well-treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, localized prostate cancer after radical resection, and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast after radical resection；

• Subjects had hepatitis b surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive and HBV- DNA titer in peripheral blood greater than or equal to 1000 copy number /L; If HBsAg is positive and the peripheral blood HBV-DNA <1000 copy number /L, the subjects will be eligible for inclusion if the investigator considers that chronic hepatitis b is stable and does not increase the risk of subjects；

Trial design

15 participants in 1 patient group

Chemotherapy+ Radiation therapy

Experimental group

Description:

Chemotherapy: Patients firstly receive an escalating dose of weekly Nab-paclitaxel starting at 10 mg/m\^2 up to 70 mg/m\^2, Patients secondly receive weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m\^2). Treatment repeats every week until the disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity, death or begin a novel therapeutic. Concurrent chemotherapy is a weekly regimen during radiotherapy. Patients will complete at least 4 cycles of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, until the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) appeared. Radiation therapy: Patients also receive pelvic radiation therapy once daily (Monday-Friday) for a total of 28 fractions and intracavitary brachytherapy twice a week for a total 5 fractions. Complete radiotherapy within 55 days.

Treatment:

Drug: Drug: Cisplatin; nab-paclitaxel
