About this trial

A total of 112 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer will be randomized 1:1 to standard therapy with cisplatin-based chemoradiation or nivolumab-ipilimumab induction followed by cisplatin-based chemoradiation. The primary outcome will be 3-year disease-free survival.

To evaluate health related quality of life (HRQoL): defined as the change from baseline of disease-related symptoms and quality of life of patients undergoing treatment Nivolumab-ipilimumab and Chemoradiation for Cervical Cancer

Evaluate health related quality of life using the instrument EORTC QLQ-C30 v3 based on European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). The EORTC QLQ-C30 v3 questionnaire, consisting of 30 questions covering 15 domains, divided into three distinct scales: state scale global health and quality of life (it has only one domain, global health measure); functional scale (physical function, role performance, emotional function, cognitive function and social function domains); and symptom scale (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties). The scores on each scale range from 0 - 100. The global and functional health scales indicate better quality of life as their score approaches 100. For the symptoms scale, the analysis is inverse, with better performance for quality of life when the scores approach the score minimum (zero).

Time frame
Baseline (time from screening - before starting treatment) and at the end of treatment (56 days after the last dose of radiotherapy).
