Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is an national, prospective, multicenter and randomized clinical study designed to determine if patients with stage IIICr of cervical cancer have longer PFS and/or OS with lymph node dissection before CCRT when compared to CCRT.

Detailed Description

All eligible patients will be equally randomized between the 2 following treatment groups (stratified factors: whether para-aortic lymph nodes were image-positive):

Standard treatment group: standard chemoradiation (Pelvic EBRT/Extended-field EBRT + concurrent platinum-containing chemotherapy+brachytherapy ±pembrolizumab).

Experimental group: open/minimally invasive pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection followed by chemoradiation±pembrolizumab. (Level of lymph node dissection: At least the inferior mesenteric artery. Chemoradiation ±pembrolizumab will be performed postoperatively within 28 days.)

  • History of immune deficiency, including HIV positive or suffering from other immunodeficiency disease
  • Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (e.g., use of disease-modifying medications, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive medications). Replacement therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroid replacement for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) were not counted as systemic therapies, and subjects were permitted to use these therapies

  • A history of immunotherapy or undergoing immunotherapy
  • A history of severe allergic reactions to platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, pembrolizumab and/or any excipients
  • During the treatment for complications, the drugs which lead to serious liver and/or kidney function impairment need to be used, such as tuberculosis
