Overview

A total of 520 cases will be randomly divided into Kang Fu Pen (liquid dressing) enema intervention group (experimental group) and non-enema intervention group (control group), according to the ratio of 1:1.

Description

All patients are planned to receive radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) will be used for external irradiation, with a dose of 45-50.4Gy /25-28 fractions. Combined three-dimensional intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) brachytherapy was applied. The preferred dose fraction plan is 6Gy5 fractions, or 7Gy4 fractions. Whether to adopt supplement radiotherapy can be decided by the tumor regression. Cisplatin 40 mg/m2 is recommended as the first choice for concurrent chemotherapy, and TP or TC can also be considered. Single-drug weekly therapy should be completed for at least 3 cycles, and combined 3-week regimen should be completed for at least 1 cycle.

Experimental group: from three days before radiotherapy to one week after radiotherapy, Kang Fu Pen (recombinant human superoxide dismutase) retention enema, 50ml/ time, once every other day. When rectal mucosa II degree reactions (NCI-CTCAE 5.0) occur, it is changed to 1 day/time until 1 week after mucosal remission.

Control group: 3 days before radiotherapy to the end of radiotherapy, no drug retention enema was used.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient is completely voluntary and has the ability to sign the research informed consent form within 30 days before enrollment;
  2. Age ≥18 years old and ≤65 years old;
  3. Pathologically confirmed cervical cancer;
  4. Those with IB3, IIA2, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, and those with cervical tumor ≥ 4cm or involved parametrial in IIIC1 and IIIC2 (FIGO 2018 staging);
  5. ECOG score 0-2 points;
  6. The complete blood count and basal metabolic indexes in the 14 days before enrollment must meet the following requirements: NEUT≥1.510^9/L, HGB≥80g/L, PLT≥10010^9/L, blood creatinine < 1.5mg/dl (133umol/L), AST and ALT are within 2 times of the upper limit of normal;
  7. Those who have had regular bowel movements and had a negative stool routine test + occult blood before enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Those who have a history of allergy to superoxide dismutase use;
  2. Patients with skin and mucous membrane infections, patients with obvious empyema or pelvic inflammatory disease;
  3. Those who have had chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, and non-specific proctitis in the past;
  4. Those who have received cervical cancer surgery (including pelvic or retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, excluding tumor biopsy), radiotherapy or chemotherapy;
  5. Those who are expected to be unable to receive brachytherapy, or brachytherapy needs to use tumor elimination, uterine tube inserted alone in one fraction, or template plan;
  6. Those who need to use fluorouracil or capecitabine or tigio in the concurrent chemotherapy regimen;
  7. History of other malignant tumors;
  8. Pregnant or lactating women;
  9. Accompanied by active infection and fever;
  10. Other serious diseases that may significantly affect the compliance of clinical trials, such as unstable heart disease, kidney disease, chronic hepatitis, poorly controlled diabetes, and mental illness that require treatment.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
