BEATcc Trial Summary

This trial is a randomized, open label phase III trial that will investigate the impact of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab and cisplatin or carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy on overall survival in women with metastatic, persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with advanced cervical cancer that can't be cured by surgery or radiation. They should not have had previous systemic therapy for their condition, must be able to follow the study plan, and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months. Participants need good organ function and blood counts, no serious allergies to the drugs being tested, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if adding Atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) improves survival when combined with standard chemotherapy (Cisplatin/Carboplatin and Paclitaxel) plus Bevacizumab in stage IVB cervical cancer. It's an open-label phase III study where patients are randomly assigned to two groups without selection based on PD-L1 expression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components, risk of infection due to immune system suppression, potential lung issues like pneumonitis, bleeding risks associated with Bevacizumab, liver or kidney function changes from chemotherapy agents.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the goals that researchers hope to achieve with this experiment?

"The primary goal for this 4-year study is to observe the progression-free survival rate for patients. Additionally, we will be measuring the objective response rate, incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, and duration of response."

Answered by AI

For what purpose is Atezolizumab commonly prescribed?

"Atezolizumab is most frequently used to treat metastatic ureter urothelial carcinoma. However, it has also been shown to be an effective intervention for other diseases such as lymphoma, non-hodgkin, recurrent cervical cancer, and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer."

Answered by AI

Are patients being accepted into this clinical trial at this time?

"This clinical trial is not currently seeking new patients. The study was first made public on September 25th, 2018 and the most recent update occurred on February 8th, 2022. If you are interested in finding other similar trials, there are 2085 studies enrolling patients with carcinoma and 2550 for Atezolizumab."

Answered by AI

Is Atezolizumab something that patients can take without fear?

"Atezolizumab is a phase 3 medication, meaning that while there is data supporting its efficacy, multiple rounds of testing have also shown it to be safe."

Answered by AI

Has Atezolizumab been used in any other research studies?

"At the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, atezolizumab was first studied in 1997. To date, 3102 completed studies exist with 2085 live trials currently underway. A large concentration of these ongoing studies are situated in Richmond, Virginia."

Answered by AI

How many people are being included in this clinical trial?

"Unfortunately, this particular clinical trial is not recruiting right now. It was first posted on September 25th, 2018 and updated February 8th, 2022. However, there are currently 2550 studies actively searching for participants with carcinoma and 2085 trials for Atezolizumab admitting new patients."
