Telaglenastat and Chemoradiotherapy for the Treatment of Advanced Cervical Cancer

Trial Status: approved

This phase II clinical trial tests whether telaglenastat and chemoradiotherapy (cisplatin and radiation therapy) works to shrink tumors in patients with cervical cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Glutaminase inhibitors, such as telaglenastat, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes, glutaminase, needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving telaglenastat with radiation therapy and cisplatin may work better in treating patients with advanced cervical cancer.
