Can adding chemo to radiation keep cervical cancer from coming back?
NCT ID NCT05277688
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether adding chemotherapy to radiation therapy after surgery helps prevent cervical cancer from returning in patients with certain intermediate-risk factors. Participants are adults aged 18 to 80 with early-stage cervical cancer who have had a hysterectomy. Half will receive radiation alone, and half will receive radiation plus weekly cisplatin. The study will compare recurrence-free survival over five years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cisplatin (chemotherapy) given alongside radiation therapy
- What this could lead to
- If adding chemo to radiation works, it could lower the chance of cervical cancer returning after surgery, potentially improving long-term survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase III trial, but results are not yet known. Adding chemo may increase side effects without improving outcomes, and the benefit may only apply to certain patients.
