Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

the rate of OS at 5 years

Compare between groups(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

Secondary 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

A multicenter noninferior randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of laparoscopic versus abdominal radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (stage IB3 and IIA2): study protocol of the LAUNCH 3 trial

Abstract Background Cervical cancer is and will remain to be an important health problem in China, especially with an increasing proportion of younger patients who has more specific needs. In China, surgery to remove tumor burden followed by postoperative treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy based on clinicopathologic factors may be the best choice for stages IB3 and IIA2 patients. Radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer has been a classic landmark surgery in gynecology. The current trial is designed to evaluate whether there is a difference between laparoscopic RH and abdominal RH in cervical cancer (stages IB3 and IIA2) patient survival under stringent operation standards and consistent surgical oncologic principles. This paper reports the rationale, design, and implementation of the trial. Methods/design This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial. A total of 1104 patients with stage IB3 and IIA2 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 end point will be 5-year overall survival, and secondary endpoints include 5-year progression-free survival, recurrence, and quality of life measurements. Discussion The study results will provide more convincing evidence-based information for stages IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer patients and their gynecologic cancer surgeons in their choice of surgical method.
