A Clinical Study of QL1706 Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for High-Risk Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

Official title

A Randomized, Multicenter, Phase III Study of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (QL1706) Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

Overview

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of "neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy during the radiotherapy period" versus "standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy" in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Interventions

• Radiation standard EBRT+Brachytherapy
  EBRT: 45-50.4Gy, Brachytherapy: 6Gy ×5
• Drug Cisplatin
  Cisplatin 40mg/m2, qw×5
• Drug Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy
  Neoadjuvant phase: total of 2 cycles. Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab 5mg/kg,D1,Q3W + albumin paclitaxel 90mg/m2, D1、8、15，Q3W+ Cisplatin 25mg/m2 or Carboplatin AUC = 1.5 , D1、8、15，Q3W
• Radiation Radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy
  Following neoadjuvant therapy, patients will receive EBRT + QL1706. After EBRT completion, brachytherapy dose is 600 cGy × 3 fractions for patients with clinical complete response (CCR), and 600 cGy × 5 fractions for non-CCR patients.
• Drug Immunomaintenance therapy
  Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab (QL1706) 5 mg/kg，D1,Q3W. Will be administered for up to 2 years, until disease progression, or until unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.

Biochemistry: total bilirubin <1.5×ULN; AST and ALT ≤2.5×ULN; serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min (using the standard Cockcroft-Gault formula); 12) Participants have signed informed consent and agree to comply with follow-up; 13) Women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for at least 12 months after the last dose (postmenopausal women or women not of childbearing potential are exempt).

Exclusion criteria

• 1\) Diagnosed with other malignancies within 5 years prior to first dose, excluding radically treated cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, radically excised carcinoma in situ, and/or papillary thyroid carcinoma; 2) Histologically confirmed small cell (neuroendocrine) cervical carcinoma, cervical carcinosarcoma, or gastric-type cervical adenocarcinoma; 3) FIGO 2018 Stage IVB disease; 4) Prior total hysterectomy (defined as removal of the entire uterus) or planned hysterectomy as part of initial cervical cancer treatment; 5) Bilateral hydronephrosis, unless at least one side has been stented or resolved by nephrostomy, or considered mild and not clinically significant by the investigator; 6) Anatomical or tumor geometric contraindications to intracavitary brachytherapy or combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy, or any other contraindications; 7) Live vaccine administration within 30 days prior to first dose of study treatment; 8) Systemic immunostimulatory agents, colony-stimulating factors, interferons, interleukins, or vaccine combinations within 6 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1; 9) Prior treatment with anti-programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1), anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), or anti-programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) agents, or agents targeting other stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptors (e.g., CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137); 10) Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to randomization, including investigational drugs; 11) Currently participating in or previously participated in a study with an investigational drug; 12) Contraindications to cisplatin use; 13) Diagnosed with immunodeficiency or receiving chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy (>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to first study treatment; 14) Hypersensitivity to any study drug; 15) Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within the past 2 years; 16) History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease requiring corticosteroids, or current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease; 17) Active infection requiring systemic treatment; 18) Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 19) Known history of hepatitis B or known active hepatitis C viral infection; 20) Any condition, treatment, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that may increase risk associated with study participation or administration of study treatment, or may interfere with interpretation of study results, and judged by the investigator or sponsor to render the participant unsuitable for this study; 21) Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements; 22) Prior allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplantation; 23) Evidence of metastatic disease per RECIST 1.1, including lymph nodes in the inguinal region or above the level of the L1 vertebral body; 24) Women with pregnancy desire, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women.
