Vitamin D Status and Outcomes in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy
Official title: Pretreatment Vitamin D Status and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Undergoing Definitive Chemoradiotherapy
Run by University of Kragujevac · NCT07743918 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether pretreatment vitamin D levels can predict how well women with locally advanced cervical cancer respond to standard chemoradiotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18-80 with histologically confirmed locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO 2018 IIB-IVA) planned for definitive chemoradiotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with concurrent conditions or treatments that affect vitamin D metabolism or those not receiving standard chemoradiotherapy may not experience the potential predictive benefits.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective observational cohort study enrolling women with locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO IIB-IVA) who will receive standard definitive chemoradiotherapy. Pretreatment vitamin D is measured in serum and cervical lavage, and patients are followed to assess treatment response with pelvic MRI about five months after therapy and to monitor acute toxicity during treatment. The goal is to identify whether vitamin D status is associated with treatment response or toxicity, which could help tailor future care. All participants receive the same standard treatment including external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and weekly cisplatin. The study is conducted at the University Clinical Center Kragujevac and led by the University of Kragujevac.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If vitamin D status proves predictive, it could guide personalized treatment planning and supportive care for better outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research suggests biochemical markers can relate to radiotherapy response, but the predictive value of pretreatment vitamin D in this setting is not well established, making this investigation relatively novel.
