What this study is testing

To assess the feasibility of preserving fertility in women with node negative, 2018 FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer with lesions measuring >2 cm - ≤4 cm by administering neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by fertility sparing surgery (FSS) and no adjuvant therapy

  • Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Eligibility Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients must have histologically confirmed invasive cervical cancer with adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous or squamous histology and FIGO 2018 IB2 measuring >2 cm - ≤4 cm by radiological imaging (T2 sequence MRI). Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is allowed
  • Eligibility Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients must agree to use effective contraceptive methods prior to study entry, during study participation, and for at least one year after the FSS procedure. A serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study registration is required.
  • Eligibility Criteria for Fertility Sparing Surgery (FSS) Completed 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) with reduction of the largest dimension of the lesion to <2 cm on physical examination and T2 sequence on MRI. For minimal MRI requirements: see Appendix F.
  • Eligibility Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients must be ≥18 years of age, and ≤40 years of age
  • Eligibility Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients must be premenopausal and wish to preserve fertility
  • Eligibility Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: At time of registration, patient may not have had any prior therapy to treat their cancer lesion, patients with diagnostic cone or LEEP are allowed but a measurable tumor of >2 cm - ≤4 cm is mandatory

You likely can't join if

  • Exclusion Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy or surgery for their cancer. Patients with diagnostic cone or LEEP are allowed
  • Exclusion Criteria for Fertility Sparing Surgery: Suboptimal response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to local investigator
  • Exclusion Criteria for Fertility Sparing Surgery: Residual lesion > 2cm or disease progression while on chemotherapy
  • Exclusion Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Exclusion Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients with other cancers requiring ongoing treatment. Patients with malignancies unrelated to their cervical cancer can be included if they have not required treatment for 2 years. Patient with baso cellular skin cancer are allowed.
  • Exclusion Criteria for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Patients with known / evidence of brain metastases are excluded from participation in this clinical trial.
