HPVDNA02 Trial Summary

This trial will test how well the FDG-PET scan and blood tests for HPV can detect leftover cervical cancer cells after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with cervical cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous) at stages IB-IVA who are about to start standard treatment with radiotherapy and cisplatin chemotherapy. It's not open to those who've had previous cancer treatments, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have conditions that rule out PET-CT scans or radiotherapy like severe Crohn's disease, non-reversible kidney issues, other invasive cancers within the last 5 years (except certain skin cancers), or evidence of distant metastases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well an FDG-PET Scan and blood tests for HPV can detect remaining cervical cancer cells after standard treatment. The FDG-PET Scan is a special imaging test that shows active areas of cancer by tracking a sugar molecule in the body. Blood tests will check for HPV presence as an indicator of treatment effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves diagnostic procedures rather than new treatments, side effects may include discomfort from the PET-CT scan process such as reactions to contrast materials used during imaging. There might also be typical risks associated with drawing blood.
