Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

the rate of PFS at 5 years

The curves of PFS at 5 years will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The logrank test will be used to test the above hypothesis, the 5-year PFS rate difference and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the comparison between the two groups will be estimated.

Time frame: 5 years from surgery

Secondary Outcomes

the rate of OS at 5 years

Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% CI for the effect of treatment on the 5-year OS rate.

Time frame: 5 years from surgery

A multicenter non-inferior randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of laparoscopic versus abdominal radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (stages IB1, IB2, and IIA1): study protocol of the LAUNCH 2 trial

Abstract Background A retrospective study and a randomized controlled trial published in late 2018 have shown that laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (RH) was associated with worse survival than abdominal RH among patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer has been a classic landmark surgery in gynecology; therefore, this conclusion is pivotal. The current trial is designed to reconfirm whether there is a difference between laparoscopic RH and abdominal RH in cervical cancer (stages IB1, IB2, and IIA1) patient survival under stringent operation standards and consistent surgical oncologic principles. Methods/design This is an investigator-initiated, Prospective, Randomized, Open, Blinded End-point (PROBE)-controlled non-inferiority trial. A total of 780 patients with stage IB1, IB2, and IIA1 cervical cancer will be enrolled over a period of 3 years. Patients are randomized (1:1) to either the laparoscopic RH or the abdominal RH group. Patients will then be followed up for at least 5 years. The primary endpoint will be 5-year progression-free survival, and secondary endpoints include 5-year overall survival, recurrence, and quality of life measurements. Discussion The debate on laparoscopic versus abdominal RH is still ongoing, and high-quality evidences are needed to guide clinical practice. The study results will provide more convincing evidence-based information for early-stage cervical cancer patients and their gynecologic cancer surgeons in their choice of surgical method.
