Study Summary

This trial will study how well atezolizumab, given before and/or with standard of care chemoradiotherapy, works in immune system activation in patients with cervical cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced cervical cancer (stages IB2, II, IIIB, or IVA) that has spread to lymph nodes. Participants must have adequate blood counts and organ function, no severe allergies to cisplatin or immunotherapy drugs like atezolizumab, not be breastfeeding, and able to consent. HIV-positive patients can join if well-managed. Exclusions include prior pelvic radiation or systemic anticancer therapy within 3 years and certain health conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of atezolizumab when given before and/or alongside standard chemoradiotherapy in activating the immune system against cervical cancer. Atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody designed to help the body's immune system detect and fight tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause side effects such as inflammation in organs like lungs (pneumonitis), infusion reactions during administration, fatigue, liver issues indicated by enzyme changes in blood tests, potential infections due to immune suppression caused by medication.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B (atezolizumab, standard cisplatin and radiation therapy)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on days 0, 21, and 42 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive standard of care cisplatin chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and image guided brachytherapy as in Arm A.
Group II: Arm A (atezolizumab, standard cisplatin and radiation therapy)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on days -21, 0, and 21 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive standard of care cisplatin chemotherapy IV over 90 minutes on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35. Beginning on day 0, patients also receive standard of care radiation therapy once daily (Monday-Friday) for a total of 25 fractions with image guided brachytherapy beginning in week 4, 5, or at the end of radiation therapy.

Nonetheless, 2754 trials are currently recruiting patients with stage ib2 cervical cancer ajcc v8 while 1064 studies require participants for Atezolizumab research."

Answered by AI

How many locations are currently administering this experiment?

"The trial is being administered through 16 medical centres in Iowa City, Augusta, Columbus and other localities. To limit the distance traveled for treatments it's best to look into clinics located nearby your residence."

Answered by AI

How many participants are being welcomed into this research endeavor?

"This trial has concluded its recruitment process. The research was initially posted on October 26th 2018 and most recently updated on November 26th 2022. If you are interested in other clinical studies, there are presently 2754 trials seeking participants with stage ib2 cervical cancer (AJCC v8) and 1064 involving Atezolizumab that remain active."
