Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult women (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed, resectable cervical cancer (FIGO IB3, IIA2, IIB, IIIC), ECOG 0–1, no prior systemic treatment for the current disease, sufficient organ function, and willing to undergo radical surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients with unresectable disease, prior systemic therapy for this cancer, poor performance status, or significant organ dysfunction are unlikely to be eligible or benefit from this approach.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, single-arm Phase 2 trial enrolling 29 patients with resectable FIGO IB3–IIIC cervical cancer to receive cadonilimab (10 mg/kg IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2 IV on day 2 of each 3-week cycle) for 2–4 cycles prior to planned radical surgery. The primary measurements include pathological complete response (pCR) and radiologic response rate, with secondary endpoints covering safety, major pathological response, downstaging, DFS, PFS, ORR, DCR and five-year overall survival. The trial will also explore biomarker correlations including PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, immune cell subsets and tumor microenvironment features with treatment outcomes. Adverse events and perioperative complications will be monitored closely during the neoadjuvant period and around surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could raise preoperative tumor response rates and improve long-term outcomes after surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase studies combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy or as neoadjuvant therapy in cervical cancer have shown encouraging response signals, but neoadjuvant data specific to cadonilimab remain limited.
