Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of a drug called adavosertib when given with external beam radiation therapy and cisplatin to treat patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer who have a life expectancy over 3 months and good performance status. They must not have had previous pelvic radiotherapy but should be planned to receive it along with chemotherapy. Eligible participants need adequate blood counts and organ function, can swallow capsules, agree to use birth control if of childbearing potential, and haven't received prior treatment for their current cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of adavosertib with external beam radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating gynecological cancers. It aims to find the best dose of adavosertib that's effective yet has manageable side effects when used alongside standard treatments like radiation and cisplatin chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those related to adavosertib such as nausea, fatigue, blood cell count changes; from radiation therapy like skin irritation or discomfort at the treatment site; and from cisplatin including kidney issues, hearing loss, nerve damage.
