WCC# 44: A Pilot Study of CerviPrep, a Novel Drug Delivery Device for the Cervix, in the Local Administration of Gemcitabine, a Radiation Sensitizer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating topical gemcitabine hydrochloride and therapeutic conventional surgery for Cervical Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Using the CerviPrep™ drug delivery device to apply topical gemcitabine to the cervix may be an effective way to kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well CerviPrep™ works in applying topical gemcitabine to the cervix in treating patients with primary endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, or ovarian epithelial cancer.
