NCT ID NCT07167069
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 180 women in India with cervical cancer who are receiving standard chemoradiation. Half are HIV-positive and half are HIV-negative. Researchers want to see if HIV affects how often patients complete treatment and how severe side effects are. The goal is to learn whether HIV status changes treatment outcomes, which could help tailor care for these patients.
