Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this phase III clinical trial, is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concomitant chemo-radiotherapy with Cisplatin vs Gemcitabine as the first line of treatment in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, with comorbidities and preserved renal function.
Detailed Description
This is a phase III clinical trial, open, randomized 1: 1, controlled, noninferiority, in a single hospital center. This study will include 564 patients with the diagnosis of malignant tumors of epithelial origin of the cervix. Patients will be randomized 1: 1, arm "A" (experimental) to receive concomitant chemotherapy based on gemcitabine at 300 mg / m2 weekly and Arm "B" (control) to receive cisplatin 40 mg / m2 weekly, both arms with RT 50.4 Gy in 5 weeks plus 30Gy brachytherapy at the end of the concomitance. These patients will be treated in the gynecology-oncology service, candidates for chemo-radiotherapy, it is intended that the recruitment of patients be done in the first 48 months, with a follow-up of 3 years. It is intended to include 3 patients per month, until the total sample is completed in four years. The study is divided into three phases, the first of QT / RT concomitant with gemcitabine or cisplatin depending on the randomized arm; with an approximate duration of 1.5 months with a weekly visit, the second phase is brachytherapy in both arms which lasts from 2 to 7 days, and finally the follow-up phase which lasts for 3 years with a visit every 3 months. In each of the visits we will evaluate the safety of the medication; evaluating adverse events, including laboratory abnormalities as well as acute and chronic toxicity, with the classification according to the common toxicity criteria (CTCAE v4.03) and the efficacy will obtain proportions of clinical and imaging response (TC and / or PET-CT) with the criteria of RECIST v1.1 and / or PERCIST 1.0. Patient numbers to include. This study will include 140 patients. Test drug, dosage, mode of administration: Gemcitabine at 300 mg / m2 weekly intravenous administration. Duration of the study 9 years.

Arms & Interventions
A (Gemcitanine)

Intervention: Gemcitabine
B (Cisplatin)
To receive concomitant chemotherapy based on cisplatin 40 mg / m2 weekly
Intervention: Cisplatin
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To assess the efficacy of concomitant chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine versus cisplatin in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (stages IB2-IVA), who have comorbidities and preserved renal function, with progression-free survival rate.
Time Frame: 3 year
Efficacy will be estimated with progression-free survival: this is defined as the period from the randomization to the first progression documented by imaging studies by RECIST criteria.
Secondary Outcomes
- Determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) defined as the percentage of people in the study with partial or complete response to treatment in a given period of time, assessed by RECIST v1.1 and PERCIST criteria.(1 year)
- Document the prevalence of comorbidities in this group of patients(Through the study completion, an average of 6 years.)
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of concomitant QT-RT with gemcitabine vs cisplatin in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with stages IB2-IVA with comorbidities and preserved renal function.(1 year)
- To evaluate the quality of life of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with stages IB2-IVA, with comorbidities and preserved renal function with the EORTC QLQ CX-24 questionnaires.(1.5 years.)
- To determine the objective response rate after the treatment of concomitant QT-RT with Gemcitabine vs cisplatin in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with stages IB2-IVA, with comorbidities and preserved renal function.(8 weeks at the end of treatment)
- To evaluate the quality of life of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with stages IB2-IVA, with comorbidities and preserved renal function with the EORTC QLQ-30.(1.5 years.)
