A clinical study exploring whether an oral medication called sodium copper chlorophyllin, can activate bodys natural protective system NRF2 and can help women with locally advanced cervical cancer experience fewer long term side effects after undergoing radiotherapy

A Phase III trial to assess the effectiveness of NRF2 activator (oral sodium-copper- chlorophyllin ) in locally advanced cervical cancer to reduce late radiotherapy toxicity. - CHOC-LATE

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of patients with cumulative late grade 2 or higher RT-related gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity incidence reported using the time-to-event method taken from the date of random assignment to the occurrence of late toxicity or death because of late toxicity at 24 months after completion of RT by addition of sodium-copper-chlorophyllin for 3 months post RT (starting within 2 weeks of treatment completion) as compared to standard-of-care follow-up.Timepoint: Patients will be assessed at 3-month intervals for 24 month. for late grade 2 or higher RT-related gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities and any other changes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Local Control, Pelvic Control Nodal Relapse Disease-Free Survival and Overall Survival (Patients not experiencing any event or patients who are alive up to the time of analysis will be censored on the date of the last follow-up)Timepoint: At 24 month;To Assess Proportion of patients with any acute toxicity At treatment completionTimepoint: For 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment completion.;To Assess Proportion of patients with any haematological abnormalities (anaemia neutropenia thrombocytopenia)Timepoint: At 3 months and 6 months after completion of RT;To Assess Proportion of patients with pre-diabetes diabetes mellitus and hypertensionTimepoint: At baseline and follow up;To Assess Proportion of patients with poor bone health as measured by DEXA scan vitamin B12 deficiency and vitamin D deficiencyTimepoint: At baseline and annually;To Assess Proportion of patients with RT-related urinary stress incontinence as measured by the Oxford scale at treatment completionTimepoint: For 3 months 6 months and 9 months after completion of RT;Calculated cumulative time and severity incidence of toxicity scores(C-MOSES)Timepoint: At the end of the study and during interim analysis;Patient-reported quality of life using EORTC-QLQ-C30 at baseline and all follow-upsTimepoint: At 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months after RT completion;Cost (in INR) of management of treatment-related toxicity in both armsTimepoint: At the end of the study and during interim analysis;Levels and profiles of cytokines and NRF2 in all patientsTimepoint: At baseline, after CHL tablet completion,3 months after CHL tablet completion
