About this trial
This study is a multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority, randomized controlled, investigator-initiated clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of open radical hysterectomy versus minimally invasive radical hysterectomy using an endoscopic stapler as surgical treatments for early cervical cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
2018 FIGO stage IB2 or IIA1 cervical cancer (tumor maximum diameter ≥2 cm and <4 cm)
Histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma
Planned for Type B or C radical hysterectomy
With adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function
Disqualifiers
Histological types other than squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma
Tumor size less than 2 cm classified as 2018 FIGO stage IA1, IA2, or IB1 disease
The following are observed on preoperative CT or MRI
Tumor size ≥4 cm
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Open radical hysterectomy
DeviceRadical hysterectomy is performed via open surgery, and Wertheim clamp is used for preventing tumor spillage during colpotomy
Minimally invasive radical hysterectomy
DeviceRadical hysterectomy is performed via minimally invasive surgery, and an endoscopic stapler is used for preventing tumor spillage during colpotomy
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
4.5-year progression-free survival rate
Proportion of patients alive without disease progression or death at 4.5 years after enrollment, as assessed by radiographic imaging and/or clinical criteria
Secondary outcomes
Intraoperative complcation rate
Proportion of patients experiencing intraoperative complications, including anesthesia-related adverse events, bleeding, organ injury, or other unexpected intraoperative events
Postoperative acute complication rate within 4 weeks
Proportion of patients experiencing acute postoperative complications within 4 weeks after surgery, including urinary tract infection, cardiopulmonary complications, thromboembolic events, bleeding or organ dysfunction
Postoperative complication rate after 4 weeks
Proportion of patients experiencing acute postoperative complications after 4 weeks after surgery, including lymphedema, incisional hernia and dehiscence
Operation time
The total duration of a surgical procedure, specifically measured from the initial surgical incision to the final closure of the wound
