Brief Summary
Current standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiation (CRT). Although recently reported meta-analysis studies also demonstrated improved local control rates and survival with cisplatin-based chemotherapy concurrent to radiation therapy (RT), the optimal cisplatin dose and dosing schedule are still undetermined. In light of the results of the previous clinical trial, weekly cisplatin 40 mg/m2 considered to be a standard regiment in cisplatin doses and dosing schedules. However, our randomized phase II trial showed that tri-weekly cisplatin 75mg/m2 has lower toxicities and a better outcome in locally advanced cervical cancer. In this randomized phase III trial, the investigators investigate that there may be a survival difference between weekly cisplatin 40 mg/m2 and tri-weekly cisplatin 75 mg/m2 administration concurrent to RT in cervical cancer.

Study Arms (2)
A: Weekly cisplatin with RT
ACTIVE COMPARATORWeekly cisplatin 40mg/m2 six cycles concurrent to radiation therapy
B: Tri-weekly cisplatin with RT
EXPERIMENTALTri-weekly cisplatin 75mg/m2 three cycles concurrent to radiation therapy
Interventions
Cisplatin 40mg/m2 IV Weekly For 6 Cycles.(The 6th cycle of cisplatin may be omitted if external beam radiation therapy has been completed) Cisplatin may be diluted and administered per established institutional guidelines. For general suggestion, 40 mg/ m2 of cisplatin may be diluted in 250 ml 0.9% sodium chloride and administered over one or two hours. Cisplatin will be given on the first day of external RT (Day 1), preferably, and must be given prior to radiation treatment on that day External beam RT will be followed by intracavitary brachytherapy. The total elapsed time for completion of external beam to the whole pelvis, intracavitary BT, and parametrial / nodal RT shall not exceed eight weeks (56 days)
Tri-weekly cisplatin 75mg/m2 three cycles concurrent to radiation therapy Cisplatin may be diluted and administered per established institutional guidelines. For general suggestion, 75 mg/m2 of cisplatin may be diluted in 500 ml 0.9% sodium chloride and administered over one or two hours (rate of 1 mg of cisplatin per minute). Cisplatin will be given on the first day of external RT (Day 1), preferably, and must be given prior to radiation treatment on that day. External beam RT will be followed by intracavitary brachytherapy. The total elapsed time for completion of external beam to the whole pelvis, intracavitary BT, and parametrial / nodal RT shall not exceed eight weeks (56 days)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- Patients must have signed an approved informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with cervix cancer who have received any previous radiation or chemotherapy
- Patients assessed at presentation as requiring interstitial brachytherapy treatment
- FIGO stage 3A disease
- Para-aortic nodal involvement above the level of the common iliac nodes or L3/L4 (if biopsy proven, PET positive or \> 15mm short axis diameter on CT)
- Previous chemotherapy for this tumor
- Evidence of distant metastases
- Prior diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
- Patients who are pregnant or lactating
- History of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and in situ melanoma, who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last 5 years
- Serious illness or medical condition that precludes the safe administration of the trial treatment including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
