Study Summary

This phase II clinical study plan to recruit 100 subjects, 1:1 divide them into experimental group and control group, and the cumulative D2cc dose for rectum during brachytherapy will be recorded and compared.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • • Patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer who must be scheduled toundergo radical radiotherapy by means of intensity-modulated radiotherapy combinedwith 3D brachytherapy.
  • Karnofsky score ≥ 70.
  • Subjects aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years.
  • Subjects must be able to cooperate in completing the entire study.
  • The subjects' pelvic and abdominal cavity and joints are free of metal implantsand can tolerate MRI.
  • No contraindications to CT scanning.
  • Subjects must be able to understand the purpose of the trial, voluntarilyparticipate and sign an informed consent form

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • •Subjects who have received prior pelvic radiotherapy.
  • Subjects whose target tumors have been previously treated (chemotherapy,immunotherapy, surgical treatment, etc.)
  • Subjects with other primary malignancies
  • Subjects with contraindications to radiotherapy, as determined by theinvestigators
  • Subjects with injection site infections.
  • Subjects who are allergic to the ingredients of the device.
  • Subjects whose tumors invade the injection site and affect the injection processand injection safety, as determined by the investigators
  • Persons with severe mental illness, cognitive impairment and thinking disorders.
  • Participants in other drug clinical trials or medical device clinical trials 1month prior to screening

Study Description

This phase II prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, superiority clinical study will select more than three hospitals with national clinical trial institution qualifications as clinical trial centers, plan to recruit 100 subjects, 50 in experimental group and 50 in control. The patients in expermental group will receive brachytherapy after the hydrogel injection while patients in control group will receive brachytherapy without hydrogel. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the use of ReSpace™ hydrogel results in a reduction of radiation exposure to the anterior rectum, and to assess its safety.
