Abstract
5520 Background: Carboplatin (C) plus paclitaxel (P) is among standard options for treatment of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer (ARCC) patients (pts). Cervical cancer cells often express Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR). Cetuximab (CET), an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, can be safely combined with CP. MITO-CERV 2 is a comparative randomized phase 2 study, testing the addition of CET to CP. Methods: ARCC pts, < 2 previous chemotherapy, ECOG PS≤1, were randomized to CP (C AUC5 + P 175 mg/m², d1q21) for 6 cycles +/- CET (400 mg/m² one week before starting CP, then 250 mg/m² weekly) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS), i.e. time from randomization to progression, death, definitive discontinuation of the whole treatment or loss to follow-up, whichever occurred first. With a 4.5 mos expected median EFS and a 6.4 mos auspicated EFS (HR 0.70), 0.20 one-tailed α and 80% power, 89 events were required for the final intent-to-treat analysis...
