This is a prospective, single arm, phase II trail to assess the effect of primary lesion radiotherapy in the treatment of stage IVB cervical cancer on the basis of systemic chemotherapy.

Because of the apparent heterogeneity of stage IVB cervical cancer, at present there is no standard treatment.

This is a Phase II, single-center, single-arm, study of systemic chemotherapy plus lesion radiotherapy for primary stage IVB cervical cancer.

The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that primary lesion radiotherapy leads to an improvement in progression-free survival time (PFS)for stage IVB cervical cancer.

For those patients under the clinical management of the recruiting investigator, the investigator will review the patient's medical records and determine if they would be a candidate for the study.

Upon confirmation of all eligibility criteria, the subject will be enrolled.Patients with beyond abdominal pelvic lymph node metastasis will first undergo 2 cycle systemic chemotherapy（TP/TC），then to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy, and for patients with chemotherapy effective（CR+PR+SD) followed by the primary lesion of regional radiotherapy (external irradiation plus brachytherapy)，concurrent chemotherapy （TP/TC） may be given according to the patients tolerant，finally, the patient will complete a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy（TP/TC）.Distant metastasis of lymph node areas (e.g., supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinum, etc.) will be radiation after radiotherapy at the primary site according to patients tolerant.Patients with stage IVB cervical cancer with hematogenous metastasiswill first undergo 4 cycle systemic chemotherapy（TP/TC），then to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy, and for patients with chemotherapy effective（CR+PR+SD) followed by the primary lesion of regional radiotherapy (external irradiation plus brachytherapy)，concurrent chemotherapy （TP/TC） may be given according to the patients tolerant，finally, the patient will complete a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy（TP/TC），after the primary radiotherapy, the treatment regimen for distant metastasis will be determined by MDT discuss or consultation.Quality of life will be evaluated before and after treatment. During therapy, the patient will have a weekly physical exam, vital signs collected, evaluation for pain, and review any side effects.

Subjects will undergo a post treatment follow-up period after completion of their radiation therapy. During this follow-up period, subjects will return for a medical and history review with a complete physical examination, review of any side effects, evaluation for outcomes and toxicity, and QoL.

Participants randomized to the intervention will receive the Strong Together serious game program on a tablet computer. The goal of this serious game is to teach the participant how to advocate for her needs relate to her cancer and treatment. The research team will send participants weekly notifications for 12 weeks to alert them that a new serious game session is available and encourage them to complete one session per week.

If randomized to the enhanced care as usual arm, the research team will give participants a paper-based self-advocacy patient brochure published by the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. This guide is not a part of usual care, but is freely available on the Internet.

The Strong Together serious game program is an interactive, immersive education program in which participants quickly learn the behaviors of self-advocacy and the potential consequences of self-advocating or not. Participants will receive weekly game sessions to play at home for three months.

Strong Together serious game

Teresa H Thomas, PhD, RN

Self-advocacy, defined as the ability of a patient to get her needs and priorities met in the face of a challenge, is an essential skill but not all women with advanced cancer are able to do it. We want to instruct women with advanced cancer who have low self-advocacy to self-advocate for their health and well-being. We will test a new "serious game" or video program that teaches self-advocacy skills through interactive, situation-based activities. The goal of the Strong Together serious game is to engage participants in challenges commonly experienced by women with advanced cancer, offer them choices to self-advocate or not, and directly show them the health and social benefits of self-advocating and the negative consequences of not self-advocating. Through engaging in the Strong Together program, participants vicariously learn the essential skills of self-advocacy, understand the downstream effects of using or not using these skills, and learn distinct behaviors that they can then use to address their own challenges.

Background: When faced with the challenges of advanced cancer, women must advocate (or stand up) for their needs and priorities. However, there are no interventions to promote self-advocacy among female patients with advanced cancer. Preliminary work has developed a theoretically-based, psychometrically-strong measure of self-advocacy (the Female Self-Advocacy in Cancer Survivorship (FSACS) Scale) and demonstrated correlations with symptom burden and healthcare utilization. Serious games offer a novel mechanism by which to deliver interactive, engaging health education that links users' choices to consequences so that users learn a desired skill. The fully-automated Strong Together self-advocacy serious game may allow women with advanced cancer to learn self-advocacy skills and therefore improve their health outcomes.

Objective/Hypothesis: The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptably, and preliminary efficacy of the Strong Together serious game.

Specific Aims:

Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the 3-month Strong Together intervention.

* Benchmark 1: At least 75% of participants will engage in at least 8 out of the 12 serious game sessions.
* Benchmark 2: At least 80% of participants will find the intervention acceptable based on ratings of perceived satisfaction and ease of use, as well as feedback from qualitative exit interviews.

Specific Aim 2: To explore the differences in self-advocacy and symptom burden between groups over time.

• Research Question: Do patients who receive the intervention report improved self-advocacy and lower symptom burden compared to those assigned to enhanced care as usual?

Study Design: This pilot RCT will recruit (N=84) women from cancer clinics at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Eligibility criteria include: female; age ≥ 18 years; diagnosis of Stage III or IV gynecological or Stage IV breast cancer within the past 3 months; 6-month prognosis; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0-1; and ability to read and write in English. Measures will be collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Randomization (2:1) will occur to the 3-month Strong Together intervention group or the enhanced care as usual group. Feasibility will be assessed by calculating percentages of the intervention's dosage, engagement, recruitment, retention, and data completion. Acceptability will be assessed through exit interviews and an acceptability scale. Preliminary efficacy will be measured by exploring differences in self-advocacy and symptom burden scores and calculating point and interval estimates between the groups at 3 and 6 months.

Cancer Relevance: This study represents a unique opportunity to address the lack of self-advocacy interventions, reduce the risks of women with low self-advocacy, and guide an adequately-powered RCT to educate women with advanced cancer to self-advocate.

Inclusion criteria are based on cancer diagnoses which primarily occur in women (gynecological and breast cancer).

Self-Advocacy Serious Game in Advanced Cancer

Piloting a Serious Game to Improve Self-Advocacy Among Women With Advanced Cancer

We will calculate the number of participants in the intervention group who complete two-thirds (66.7%) of the intervention sessions as a measure of intervention feasibility. We will accept that we achieved adequate feasibility if at least 75% of participants engage in at least eight out of the twelve serious game sessions.

We will accept that we achieved adequate acceptability if at least 80% of participants find the intervention acceptable based on the Post Study System Usability Questionnaire scores and if no issues are raised during the qualitative interviews and feedback that cannot be revised prior to the future trial.

We anticipate that self-advocacy scores will increase (improve) among participants in the intervention group compared to the enhanced care as usual group.

We anticipate that symptom burden scores will decrease (improve) among participants in the intervention group compared to the enhanced care as usual group.

We anticipate that the frequency of healthcare utilization will decrease (improve) among participants in the intervention group compared to the enhanced care as usual group.

We anticipate that quality of life will increase (improve) among participants in the intervention group compared to the enhanced care as usual group.

The patient will receive Whole Pelvis Radiation Therapy 40 - 50.4 Gy in 1.8 - 2.0 Gy daily fractions over 4.5 - 5.5 weeks followed by Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy 5.5 - 8.0 Gy per fraction x 5 fractions using arc therapy.

Whole pelvis radiation therapy will be delivered according to institutional standard of care.

SBRT is delivered with 5 fractions of 5.5-8 Gy prescribed to the high-risk CTV, with dose constraints identical to those for high dose rate, volume-directed brachytherapy. The patient will undergo arc therapy with a minimum of two arcs. On-line kV CBCT will be used to verify the isocenter prior to each arc delivery. Patients will be resimulated for SBRT boost planning.

Radiation Therapy

Loren Mell, MD

The purpose of this study is to find out whether patients with cervical cancer treated with about a new radiation technique called "stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) have less stress and anxiety compared to standard brachytherapy radiation. With standard brachytherapy radiation, metal hardware is placed through the vagina and into the uterus, which can cause pain and discomfort. SBRT is a new radiation technique that is non-invasive and does not require the insertion of any metal hardware.

This is a Phase II, single-center, single-arm, study of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy boost for stage IB-IVB cervical cancer.

The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) leads to an improvement in treatment-related symptoms of post traumatic stress compared to brachytherapy (historical control) according to the Impact of Event Scale-Revision (IES-R).

Study participants will be recruited within the UCSD Health System. For those patients under the clinical management of the recruiting investigator, the investigator will review the patient's medical records and determine if they would be a candidate for the study. The investigator will approach the subject and offer participation in the trial. If the patient chooses to participate, they will undergo pretreatment evaluations to determine if they are a good candidate to participate further in the study. Depending on when the patient last had these tests and procedures performed, some of them may not need to be repeated.

Upon confirmation of all eligibility criteria, the subject will be enrolled. Each enrolled subject will receive radiation therapy consisting of 30 to 35 treatments. The patient will first undergo Whole Pelvis Radiation Therapy 40 - 50.4 Gy in 1.8 - 2.0 Gy daily fractions over 4.5 - 5.5 weeks, followed by Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy 5.5 - 8.0 Gy per fraction x 5 fractions using arc therapy. Concurrent chemotherapy may be given with radiation therapy according to the discretion of the treating oncology team. No chemotherapy will be given during the SBRT phase of treatment. During radiation therapy, the patient will have a weekly physical exam, vital signs collected, evaluation for pain, and review any side effects.

Subjects will undergo a post treatment follow-up period after completion of their radiation therapy. During this follow-up period, subjects will return for a medical and history review with a complete physical examination, review of any side effects, evaluation for outcomes and toxicity, and evaluations for stress, anxiety, and pain.
