About this study

Official title: Second Line Therapy and Beyond With Relacorilant and Nab-Paclitaxel for Cervical Cancer With Loss of Benefit From Immune Checkpoint and Platinum Exposure

This phase II study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, if eligible.

STELLA is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study. Approximately 63 participants will receive relacorilant orally in combination with intravenous nab-paclitaxel in 28-day treatment cycles. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another protocol-defined reason for discontinuation.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate, defined as the proportion of participants with a complete or partial response as their best overall response according to RECIST version 1.1. Secondary objectives include evaluating duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the safety and tolerability of the combination.

Read the detailed description

Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer remains associated with poor outcomes after progression following platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Available subsequent treatment options are limited and are generally associated with modest clinical benefit.

Glucocorticoid receptor signaling may contribute to tumor cell survival, immune evasion, and resistance to anticancer therapy. Relacorilant is a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator that may enhance sensitivity to taxane-based chemotherapy. The combination of relacorilant and nab-paclitaxel has demonstrated antitumor activity in previous clinical studies in other tumor types.

STELLA is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase II study designed to evaluate relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer previously exposed to platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition, if eligible. Approximately 63 participants are planned to be enrolled at approximately 22 sites.

Nab-paclitaxel will be administered intravenously at 80 mg/m² on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Relacorilant will be administered orally at 150 mg once daily on the day before, the day of, and the day after each nab-paclitaxel administration, except that relacorilant will not be administered on the day before the first nab-paclitaxel dose at Cycle 1 Day 1.

The primary endpoint is objective response rate according to RECIST version 1.1, defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response or partial response as their best overall response during the study. The study will also assess duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, and exploratory translational objectives.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to RECIST v1.1

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants with a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as their best overall response according to RECIST version 1.1, based on investigator assessment. Participants with early death, clinical progression, or treatment discontinuation due to toxicity before any tumor assessment will be considered treatment failures. Tumor assessments performed after initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy will not contribute to the ORR assessment.

    Measured: From the date of first study treatment until documented disease progression, assessed up to 48 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of Response (DoR) is defined as the time from the date of first documented Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) until the date of documented disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1, as assessed by the investigator, or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of first documented CR or PR until documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 48 months.

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first study treatment until the date of documented disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1, as assessed by the investigator, or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of first study treatment until documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 48 months.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of first study treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of first study treatment until death from any cause, assessed up to 48 months.

  4. Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events

    Safety will be assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events, classified by maximum grade, System Organ Class (SOC), and Preferred Term (PT), according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 6.0.

    Measured: From the first dose of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or until initiation of alternative cancer therapy, whichever occurs first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Relacorilant and Nab-paclitaxel in people with Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer, run by ARCAGY/ GINECO GROUP at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 29 inclusion and 30 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Sidonie ADAM (+33 1 84 85 20 18, sadam@arcagy.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to RECIST v1.1 (time frame: From the date of first study treatment until documented disease progression, assessed up to 48 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Aug 2026.
