International Penile Advanced Cancer Trial (International Rare Cancers Initiative Study)

Join our study on advanced penile cancer treatment options.

Phase 3

This study examines advanced penile cancer treatments. Patients are split into groups based on the size and spread of their cancer. There are three initial treatments: A. standard surgery (called ILND - removing lymph nodes in the groin), B. chemotherapy and then ILND, or C. chemoradiotherapy (chemotherapy plus radiation) followed by ILND. After surgery, doctors check if cancer might come back. Patients at high risk may get more treatment, called PLND, which removes more lymph nodes.

  • Eligibility: Patients must have a specific type of penile cancer, no cancer spread to other organs (M0 stage), and be in good health.
  • Exclusion: Patients with other cancers or who had past treatments like chemotherapy can't join.
  • Study Details: The study is international, involves random assignments, and helps doctors decide the best treatment sequence.

Participation involves multiple steps and treatments, but it aims to find the best way to treat advanced penile cancer and help future patients.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
