A Phase III Randomized Clinical Trial to Study the Radiosensitizing Effect of Nelfinavir in Locally Advanced Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary aim of the trial is to study the impact of nelfinavir on 3 year disease free survival in patients with advanced carcinoma of cervix receiving standard chemoradiation (Cisplatin and Radiotherapy). There will be two study groups. One group will receive standard treatment (concurrent chemoradiation and brachytherapy) \& other group will receive nelfinavir 5-7 days prior to standard treatment (chemoradiation \& brachytherapy).
