A phase III trial of adjuvant chemotherapy following chemoradiation as primary treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer compared to chemoradiation alone: Outback (ANZGOG0902/GOG0274/RTOG1174).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
TPS5632 Background: Cervical cancer is a global health problem and the most common cause of cancer-related death among women in developing nations. Despite the recently developed cervical cancer vaccine, many women will continue to die from cervical cancer for many decades unless existing treatments can be improved. Unscreened women often present with locally-advanced disease that has a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 60% or less following standard chemo-radiation. Although some evidence suggests that adjuvant chemotherapy following chemo-radiation may be of value, its role remains controversial. Methods: OUTBACK is a randomised phase III Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup (GCIG) trial designed and led by the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG) in collaboration with the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre. Participating countries (groups) include Australia & New Zealand (ANZGOG), the USA (GOG, RTOG), Saudi Arabia, and Canada (RTOG). OUTBACK is suitable for women with locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO stage IB1 & node positive, IB2, II, IIIB or IVA). The primary objective is to determine if the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy to standard cisplatin-based chemo-radiation improves OS. Women are randomized to either (A) standard cisplatin-based chemo-radiation or (B) standard cisplatin-based chemo-radiation followed by 4 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. Secondary objectives are to compare progression-free survival, treatment-related toxicity, patterns of disease recurrence, quality of life and psycho-sexual health, and the association between radiation protocol compliance and outcomes. Blood and tumour samples are collected from consenting patients for future translational studies. 780 women will be enrolled to determine if the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy can improve the 5-year OS rate by ≥ 10%. OUTBACK opened in Australia & New Zealand in 2011 and in early 2012 the trial opened in the USA. 285 patients have been recruited from 145 active sites. The IDMC last reviewed the trial in September 2013 and recommended that the trial continue as planned. Clinical trial information: ACTRN12610000732088.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
