- Registration Number
- NCT06288360
- Lead Sponsor
- Tongji Hospital
- Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the NACI (neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus Camrelizumab) for PD-L1-negative locally advanced cervical cancer.
- Detailed Description
This multicenter, prospective, single-arm clinical trial is designed to enroll patients with PD-L1-negative, locally advanced cervical cancer. Patients will receive an initial course of priming neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by two courses of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate the effects of combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor on tumor remission rates, surgical complications, positive margin rates, and patient survival. Additionally, the trial will investigate changes in local immune-related factors and tumor cells during treatment, as well as identify biomarkers that may influence the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.

Group Intervention Description Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus camrelizumab (NACI) Camrelizumab Patients first received one cycle of platinum-based doublet priming chemotherapy. After 3 weeks, participants received two cycles of the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy every 3 weeks. Patients with stable disease or progressive disease received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and patients with a complete response or partial response proceeded to radical surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus camrelizumab (NACI) Paclitaxel-albumin Patients first received one cycle of platinum-based doublet priming chemotherapy. After 3 weeks, participants received two cycles of the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy every 3 weeks. Patients with stable disease or progressive disease received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and patients with a complete response or partial response proceeded to radical surgery.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus camrelizumab (NACI) radical surgery Patients first received one cycle of platinum-based doublet priming chemotherapy. After 3 weeks, participants received two cycles of the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy every 3 weeks. Patients with stable disease or progressive disease received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and patients with a complete response or partial response proceeded to radical surgery.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pathologic complete response undergoing surgery; up to 2 years. Pathologic complete response (pCR) refers to the absence of invasive/in situ cancer in the uterine cervix and/or lymph nodes
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Surgical Complications during and after surgery; an average of 3 years. Intraoperative bleeding, vascular injuries, bladder injuries, rectal injuries, and ureteral injuries were measured by the need for suture repair; occlusive nerve injuries were measured by complete severance, and vascular injuries required documentation of the site of injury. Postoperative complications included: cervical stenosis, cervical insufficiency, ureteral/bladder/rectal/vaginal fistula, internal hemorrhage, pelvic infection, lymphocyst, lymphatic fistula, lower extremity edema, lower extremity venous thrombosis, urinary retention, nerve injury, and bowel obstruction.
Objective response rate measured 3 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment and before surgery; up to 2 years. the proportion of patients who had either complete response or partial response, assessed by independent central reviewers according to RECIST, version 1.1.
Positive surgical margin rate undergoing surgery; 2 years A positive surgical margin means that cancer cells are present at the edge of the resection specimen.
event-free survival 7 years Event-free survival (EFS) refers to the possibility of experiencing a defined set of events (including progression such as metastasis, death, etc.) following NACI treatment.
overall survival 7 years the time from enrollment to death
adverse event 7 years an event that emerges during treatment having been absent pre-treatment, or worsens relative to the pre-treatment state.
Patient Reported Outcomes 7 years including global quality of life and measures of sexual health
