Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

This is a phase II single-arm study of low-dose pembrolizumab (100mg, fixed-dose) plus chemotherapy in women aged 18 years or older with histologically confirmed persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer who are ineligible for curative-intent treatment (surgery and/or radiation therapy) and who have not been previously treated with systemic chemotherapy, with the exception of chemotherapeutic agents used as radiosensitizers (cisplatin or carboplatin concurrent with radiation therapy).

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: Female
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• ) Female participants aged 18 years and older

• ) Patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cervical cancer, with PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1 expression, who have not received prior chemotherapy and are ineligible for curative surgery and/ or radiotherapy. Prior chemotherapy used as a radiosensitizer and completed at least 2 weeks before the scheduled date for C1D1 with resolution of all treatment-related toxicities is allowed. Adverse events due to prior treatments must be resolved to ≤ grade 1 or the participant's baseline. Neuropathy ≤ grade 2 or alopecia of grade ≤ 2 are eligible.

• ) Not pregnant or breastfeeding a ) Fertile-age women with the potential to become pregnant must agree to follow contraceptive guidance during treatment and for at least 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab and 210 days after the last dose of chemotherapy. Abstinence is acceptable if it is the participant's usual lifestyle and preferred contraception.

• ) The participant (or legal representative, if applicable) must provide written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for future biomarker research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomarker research.

• ) Have measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, as assessed by the local investigator/radiologist. Lesions located in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable only if progression has been demonstrated.

• ) Have an archived tumor tissue sample (recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer) no older than 4 years or provide a biopsy of a previously unirradiated tumor lesion for prospective PD-L1 status determination, since only participants with PD-L1 expression CPS ≥ 1 will be included in the study.

• ) Performance Status/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) of 0 to 1 within 7 days prior to C1D1

• ) Have adequate organ function, as indicated by the following laboratory values within 7 days prior to C1D1: a ) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcL; b ) Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL; c ) Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL - The criterion must be met without erythropoietin dependence and without transfusion in the last 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1; d ) Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min for participants with creatinine levels \> 1.5 x upper limit of normal - creatinine clearance (CrCl) should be calculated according to institutional standard using the Cockcroft-Gault formula; d ) Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal; e ) AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal or ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal for participants with hepatic metastases; f ) International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) or Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal, unless the participant is receiving anticoagulant, provided that PT or aPTT is within the therapeutic range for the intended use of anticoagulants.
