About this study

Official title: Effect of Compound Kushen Injection Combined With Pabolizumab in the Treatment of Cervical Adenocarcinoma: A Phase II Single-arm Clinical Study

In the past few decades, the incidence of endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) has been on the rise both in absolute numbers and overall proportion in cervical cancers. ECAs remain a significant public health problem despite advances in treatment options. Patients with ECA have a poorer survival rate than patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), especially in patients with metastatic tumors. In the newly published 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Female Genital Tumors, ECAs are subclassified into human papillomavirus-associated (HPVA) and human papillomavirus-independent (HPVI) groups. Meanwhile, PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy has been approved for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer, but there are still many deficiencies. Therefore, the investigators plan to use the new classification of female genital tumors and conduct a clinical trial to explore the safety and effectiveness of compound kushen injection combined with pabolizumab in the treatment of metastatic, recurrent, persistent cervical adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

In this study, PD-1 inhibitors (pabolizumab) combined with compound kushen injection were used to treat metastatic, recurrent, persistent cervical adenocarcinoma, and the efficacy and safety of the two drugs were evaluated.

Participants who meet the requirements will sign the informed consent and be enrolled voluntarily. This project is a single-arm study without a control group. Forty-two patients are expected to be enrolled.

Two scoring systems, the combined positive score (CPS) and the tumor proportion score (TPS), are used for evaluation of PD-L1 expression of solid tumors. Through the measurable changes in the size of the lesions, the investigators can understand the changes of the disease. The primary endpoints were PFS and ORR. Whenever, for whatever reason, the subject does not complete the clinical trial observation, is considered to be an abscission case. When the subject falls off, the investigators must fill in the reason for the fall off in the CRF, and contact the subject as much as possible, complete the items that can be evaluated, and record the time of the last medication to prepare for the analysis of its efficacy and safety. The CRF should be kept for future reference.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 34 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lili Chen, MD (8657187061501, 5197004@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ORR (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05259540, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2022.
