Daily Adaptive External Beam Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Carcinoma of the Cervix: A Prospective Trial of an Individualized Approach for Intestinal Toxicity Reduction (ARTIA-Cervix) - Clinical Trial

Jeremy G. Price, MD, PhD

Study Summary

This is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer will translate into a decreased rate of acute gastrointestinal toxicity compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The timepoint for this assessment will be at week 5 of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and will use the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE).

Protocol: 23-1025 / IRB23-1025

Investigator: Jeremy G. Price, MD, PhD

Disease(s): Cervix

Location(s): Fox Chase Cancer Center at Cottman Ave
