E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective of the trial is to evaluate if adjuvant (chemo)radiation is associated with disease free survival benefit after radical surgery in patients with intermediate-risk cervical cancer. The intermediate-risk group is defined as lymph-node negative patients (N0) with a combination of tumour-related negative prognostic risk factors |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The key secondary objective is to compare the overall survival benefit between both trial ARMs. Further secondary objectives are assessment of pelvic disease-free survival, health-related quality of life assessed by patients reported outcome questionnaires, and differences between both arms in prevalence and severity of treatment-related adverse events assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Disease-free survival (DFS)– Calculated as an interval from the day of randomisation until diagnosis of recurrence: (a) unequivocal finding on imaging by subjective radiological assessment; b) suspicious recurrence on imaging or by physical examination either confirmed by biopsy or supported by other signs (disease progression on imaging or progression of symptoms); (c) death caused by disease or death of unknown cause. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Expected 3 years after the last patient is randomised. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
a) Overall survival (OS) b) Pelvic disease-free survival (PDFS) c) Health-related quality of life (QoL) d) Treatment-related adverse events
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Secondary endpoints´ analyses are expected 6 years after randomisation of the last patient. |
