Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Cervical cancer, Radical hysterectomy, Neoadjuvant
Brief summary
The purpose was to establish a quick (7-day) cycle schedule of paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) combining with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) NAC regimen could be tolerated without interfering the following surgical treatment and a favorable overall survival rate for stages IB2 and IIA2 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Detailed description
This is a multi-center, open-label, Simon's 2-stage, phase II study of paclitaxel and cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with FIGO IB2 or IIA2, squamous cell cervical carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Primary Objectives: • Overall survival Secondary Objectives: * Safety * Progression-free survival * Response rate * Postoperative RT/CRT rate * To assess Quality-of-life An estimate of 64 evaluable patients will be enrolled in this phase II investigation.
Interventions
7-day cycle schedule of paclitaxel (60 mg/m2)
7-day cycle schedule of cisplatin (40 mg/m2)
2 weeks after last course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1 8. had written informed consent to participate in the study 9. Appropriate organ and marrow function : leukocytes \>=3,000/μL absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/μL platelets \>= 100,000/μL (not platelet transfusion dependent) hemoglobin \>= 10 g/dL total bilirubin within normal range AST/ALT \<= 2.5 X upper limit of normal range (ULN) BUN \<= 20 mg/dL serum creatinine \<=1.5 mg/dL or clearance \> 60 mL/min 10. a negative urinary pregnancy test in a patient with child-bearing potential
Exclusion criteria
Patients will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria: 1. adenocarcinoma , adenosquamous carcinoma, or small cell carcinoma 2. concurrent or history of malignant tumor(s) other than treated nonmelanoma skin cancer 3. had received surgical procedure other than cervical biopsy or cytotoxic procedure including chemotherapy, radiotherapy or therapy with biologic response modifier(s) for the cervical tumor 4. enlarged pelvic lymph node with positive aspiration cytologic or histologic study 5. participate in investigational treatment or another clinical trial for cervical cancer 6. history of allergic reaction to platinum or paclitaxel 7. uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements 8. pregnant or breast feeding women
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall survivial | January 31, 2023 (5 years) | The primary objective is to determinate the difference in 5-year survival rate of subjects with NAC+RH-PLND compared with standard CCRT. Based on the pilot research, the 5-year survival rate of NAC+RH-PLND is expected to be around 87.5%. Thus, a sample size of 64 subjects in NAC+RH-PLND group is required for correctly detecting a 12.5% difference between 5-year OS rate of NAC+RH-PLND group and a reference value 75% of standard CCRT in order to achieving an 80% power at a significance level 0.05. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety (If > 6 significant G3/4 AEs occur) | January 31, 2023 (up to 5 years) | If \> 6 significant G3/4 AEs occur |
| Response rate (Pathological response) | Post-operative 1 month | Pathological response will be calculated |
| Postoperative RT/CRT rate | Post-operative 6 months | Postoperative RT/CCRT will be given to defined high-risk group |
| Quality-of-life | at completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy | using EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC-QLQ-CX24 |
| Progression-free survival | January 31, 2023 (up to 5 years) | PFS will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method |
