Interventions

hydrogel spacer

Conditions

Uterine Cervical Neoplasms

Eligibility

Age Range

18 Years – 75 Years

Sex

FEMALE

Inclusion Criteria:

* Karnofsky score ≥ 70. Subjects aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years. Subjects must be able to cooperate in completing the entire study. The subjects' pelvic and abdominal cavity and joints are free of metal implants and can tolerate MRI.

No contraindications to CT scanning. Subjects must be able to understand the purpose of the trial, voluntarily participate and sign an informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects whose target tumors have been previously treated (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgical treatment, etc.) Subjects with other primary malignancies Subjects with contraindications to radiotherapy, as determined by the investigators Subjects with injection site infections. Subjects who are allergic to the ingredients of the device. Subjects whose tumors invade the injection site and affect the injection process and injection safety, as determined by the investigators Persons with severe mental illness, cognitive impairment and thinking disorders.

Participants in other drug clinical trials or medical device clinical trials 1 month prior to screening Pregnant or lactating women or those who plan to get pregnant within the last six months Subjects who cannot be followed up as prescribed by the doctor Other conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, make the subject unsuitable for enrollmen

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

The stability of the hydrogel spacer

In order to verify the stability of the hydrogel spacer, this test will be based on MRI T2-weighed images.

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 12 months

Scores from Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 Rating (QLQ-C30)

European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 is a comprehensive survey instrument designed to assesses the disease-specific aspects of cervical cancer and its therapies. The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale represents a high / healthy level of functioning, a high score for the global health status / QoL represents a high QoL, but a high score for a symptom scale / item represents a high level of symptomatology / problems.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 12 months

Scores from Quality of Life Core Questionnaire Cervix Cancer Module 24 (QLQ-CX24)

European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-CX24 will be used to assess subjects' quality of life. EORTC QLQ-CX24 score from 0 to 100, higher scores indicate better quality of life or more symptoms.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 12 months

Percentage of subjects with ≥2 grade chronic radiation rectal injury

The percentage of subjects in the treatment and control groups who had ≥ grade 2 chronic radiation rectal injury after radiation therapy will be calculated and compared between the groups.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 12 months

Adverse events requiring special attention

The number of cases of adverse events requiring special attention related to radiation intestinal injury and the number of subjects having the above adverse events will be recorded in both the treatment and control groups.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 12 months

The number of (serious) adverse events, (serious) device-related adverse events

The frequency (number of events) of occurrence of (serious) adverse events and device-related (serious) adverse events will be recorded for the entire study period.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 12 months
