Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled phase II/III clinical trial in which patients with PD-L1-positive FIGO stage IB3, IIA2 and IIB(tumors \>4 cm in diameter)will be enrolled and randomly divided into the neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy plus surgery group and the CCRT group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in China, with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) accounting for approximately 37% of cases. Currently, the recommended standard of care for LACC according to international guidelines is concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, the impacts of radiation therapy on patients' quality of life are increasingly being recognized. Additionally, 23.3% to 34.4% of patients still face recurrence or metastasis after treatment, and the 5-year overall survival rate remains around 75%.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a chemotherapy regimen used prior to surgery for LACC. NACT followed by radical surgery has a similar overall survival compared to CCRT, but the disease-free survival is relatively lower with NACT. Moreover, 9.8% to 30.6% of patients show poor response to NACT, and over 30% of patients require postoperative adjuvant therapy. These issues significantly limit the application of NACT in LACC.

In recent years, immunotherapy has made significant progress in advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. A phase II clinical trial of combination of PD-1 inhibitors and neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed significant anti-tumor activity and safety. Therefore, based on the preliminary results, this project aims to conduct a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial to further confirm the value of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with surgery in LACC. It will be compared with the standard CCRT regimen to explore the differences in clinical efficacy and adverse events between the two groups, providing high-level evidence for the application of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in cervical cancer.

Study Groups

Camrelizumab combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus radical surgery

Patients receive 1 cycle of cisplatin and nab paclitaxel combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent 2 cycles of camrelizumab combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Based on the tumor size as indicated by MRI, patients who achieve complete response or partial response (CR/PR,RECIST v1.1) will undergo open radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Patients who show stable disease or progression (SD/PD,v1.1) will proceed directly to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
