  3. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 guideline
  4. Patients are intolerant to or refuse chemotherapy.
  5. No serious hematopoietic dysfunction, nor abnormal heart, lung, liver and kidney function, nor immunity deficiency. And the results of lab test meet the following criteria:

    Hemoglobin ≥90g/L Absolute count of neutrophils≥2×109/L orwhite blood cell count≥4.0×109/L; Platelet count≥100×109/L; AST≤2.5×ULN ALT≤2.5×ULN TBIL≤1.5×ULN;

  6. ECOG score 0-2
  7. Expectancy of life is at least 3 months.
  8. Eligible for pelvic MRI examination.
  9. The patients voluntarily received nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy.
  10. Patients can comply with the protocol and are willing to sign informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who have received treatment for cervical cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy
  2. Patients who have bilateral ureteral obstruction, who cannot be placed ureteral stents or perform pyelostomy.
  3. Patients with rectovaginal fistula/vaginovesical fistula/uncontrolled vaginal bleeding or with fistula risk.

.4)Patients infected with HIV. 5)Active hepatitis B (HBV DNA quantitative test results exceed the detection threshold), or HCV infection (HCV RNA quantitative test results exceed the detection threshold) 6)Patients with severe underlying disease that makes it possible to safely receive the treatment. And the severe underlying disease include but not limited to active infections requiring systemic medication, decompensated heart failure (NYHA grade III and IV), unstable angina pectoris, and acute myocardial infarction occurred within the first 3 months of enrollment.

7)Patients with a history of prior malignancy other than cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

8)Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. 9)Patients are allergic to Nimotuzumab or its compounds. 10)Patients with neurological or psychiatric abnormalities that affect cognitive ability.

11)Intracavitary brachytherapy cannot be performed that was assessed by the investigator.

12)Other factors were assessed by investigators to be unsuitable to this study.

Groups and cohorts

  • observation group

    All patients will be treated with Nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy.

    Drug: Nimotuzumab · Radiation: EBRT combined with brachytherapy

Interventions

  • DrugNimotuzumab

    Patients receive Nimotuzumab: 200mg, intravenous infusion, weekly for 6 weeks.

  • RadiationEBRT combined with brachytherapy

    IMRT/VMAT are adopted. A total dose of 45-50.4 Gy, 1.8\~2.0Gy/f, 25\~ 28F in pelvic and/or extension filed. For patients with metastasis in pelvic lymph node and abdominal para-aortic lymph node, the dose of radiation in local lesion will be increased to 60\~66Gy. For patients at stage IIIB, concurrent radiation will be given in parametrial extension or in the late course the dose will be increased to 60Gy. Brachytherapy: Three dimensional high dose rate brachytherapy is used with HR-CTV D90 cumulative dose of 80\~85Gy (EQD2); If the tumor diameter is ≥4cm, HR-CTV D90 cumulative dose is ≥87Gy (EQD2). Brachytherapy combined with external beam radiotherapy will be completed within 8 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 3-year disease-free survival(DFS)

    The rate of patient without disease in 3 years after treatment

    Time frame: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete response rate(CRR)

    The percentage of subjects who achieve complete response by imaging assessment from the end of the treatment to disease progression

    Time frame: 3 months later after treatment

  2. Objective response rate(ORR)

    The percentage of patients who experienced complete or partial cancer shrinkage or disappearance after treatment

    Time frame: 3 months later treatment

  3. 3-year overall survival(OS)

    The rate of patient alive in 3 years after treatment

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  4. The change of tumor related markers

    the correlation of the value of SCC,Cyfra 21-1 and therapeutic effect \[The changes of serum tumor markers (such as SCC-Ag and CYFRA21-1) were observed before and after treatment\]

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  5. The change of cervical tumor

    the change of the volume of the cervical tumor at diagnosis and before brachytherapy

    Time frame: At diagnosis and before brachytherapy

  6. QUALITY OF LIFE(QoL)

    Quality of life assessed by EORTC QLQ-CX 24 \[EORTC QLQ-CX 24 is a specific quality of life assessment scale based on EORTC QLQ-C 30, with 24 items\]

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  7. SAFETY

    Including severity of adverse events, the incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events. Adverse events should be reported and graded according to CTCAE version 5.0

    Time frame: up to 3 years
