Abstract

In order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemoradiotherapy using nedaplatin for locally advanced uterine cervical carcinoma in Japanese patients, we have started a single-institute phase II trial. Eligibility criteria include: (i) pathologically proven squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, (ii) clinical FIGO stage Ib, IIa, or IIb with bulky tumor (> 40 mm) or pelvic lymph node swelling, or (iii) clinical FIGO stage IIIa, IIIb and IVa, (iv) no para-aortic lymph node swelling. A combination of external beam radiation and high dose rate intracavitary irradiation is given. Nedaplatin (30 mg/m2) is intravenously infused on a weekly basis for five times. The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival, and the secondary endpoints are tumor response, 2-year overall survival, 3-year progression-free survival, acute adverse events, protocol treatment compliance, and late adverse events. We plan to recruit 45 patients within 3 years.
