Summary

This trial found that adding the drug telaglenastat to standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cervical cancer improved progression-free survival compared to historical rates.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with newly diagnosed advanced cervical cancer (stages III-IVA). They must have a certain level of blood cells, liver and kidney function, not be breastfeeding, and able to consent. Excluded are those with severe illnesses, prior treatments for this cancer or pelvic radiation, uncontrolled diabetes or HIV, pregnancy/breastfeeding women, and known allergies to the drugs used.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding telaglenastat (a glutaminase inhibitor) to standard chemoradiation therapy improves progression-free survival in advanced cervical cancer patients compared to historical data of chemoradiation alone. Participants will receive cisplatin chemotherapy alongside radiation treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to cisplatin like nausea and kidney issues; telaglenastat may cause fatigue or upset stomach; radiation could lead to skin irritation or fatigue. Each patient's experience can vary.
