Radiation Therapy and Cisplatin With or Without Amifostine for Patients With Stage IIIB or IVA Cervical Cancer

Registration Number
NCT00012012
Lead Sponsor
Radiation Therapy Oncology Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, 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. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiati...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the feasibility and tolerability of external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and cisplatin in patients with para-aortic or high common iliac lymph node-positive carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

* Determine the feasibility and tolerability of this regimen with the addition of amifostine in these patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Acute Grade 3/4 Toxicity (Excluding Grade 3 Leukopenia)From start of treatment to 90 days

To determine the feasibility and tolerance of extended-field external radiotherapy to the pelvis and para-aortic region and intracavitary irradiation combined with weekly cisplatin using the rate of acute grade 3/4 toxicity rate (excluding grade 3 leukopenia). The first part of this study was designed to determine the acute grade 3/4 toxicity rate (excluding...

Number of Patients With Acute Grade 3/4 Toxicity (Excluding Grade 3 Leukopenia)From start of treatment to 90 days

The second part of this study (second arm) was designed to detect a 40% relative reduction (absolute from 77% to 46%) in the acute grade 3/4 toxicity (excluding grade 3 leukopenia) rate, with the addition of amifostine. A one-sided alpha of 0.05 and 80% power required 16 evaluable patients to detect the hypothesized difference. If ≤ 8 had the toxicity, it wo...

Secondary Outcome Measures
