About this trial
This study explores the therapeutic effect of carbon ion radiotherapy plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Female patients aged ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form.
Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of cervical cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma).
Stage IIB-IVA disease per the 2018 FIGO staging system.
Presence of measurable lesions as defined by RECIST version 1.1.
Disqualifiers
Presence of severe concomitant complications (e.g., uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, refractory infection, active peptic ulcer, uncontrolled psychiatric disorders, etc.)
Concurrent active second primary malignancy.
Tumour invasion of the rectum (Stage IVA) or peritoneal metastasis (M1).
Prior receipt of immunotherapy agents (including anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, etc.).
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Carbon ion external beam radiotherapy plus 3 courses of three-dimensional brachytherapy.
RadiationImmunotherapy: Anti-PD-1 therapy administered once every 3 weeks starting at radiotherapy initiation, with a total maintenance duration of 2 years. Chemotherapy: Weekly concurrent single-agent cisplatin (dose: 40 mg/m² per week) or carboplatin (target AUC = 2) is given simultaneously with carbon ion external beam radiotherapy for a total of 4 cycles.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS)
This endpoint is determined based on investigators' assessments per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). If disease progression cannot be confirmed by imaging according to RECIST 1.1, progressive disease (PD) histopathologically verified following carbon ion radiotherapy combined with three-dimensional brachytherapy, concurrent chemotherapy and immunotherapy shall serve as the criterion for progression determination.
Secondary outcomes
Overall survival (OS)
To evaluate the 2-year overall survival rate of patients treated with carbon ion radiotherapy plus three-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Death from any cause is defined as the endpoint event. Subjects who remain alive or are lost to follow-up at the data cut-off date will be treated as censored data.
Acute and late toxicities
To evaluate acute and late toxicities of carbon ion radiotherapy plus three-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy and immunotherapy, graded per RTOG and CTCAE criteria.
