Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer that is resistant to pembrolizumab and meets specific eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have not been treated with pembrolizumab or those with other types of cervical cancer not meeting the study criteria may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This randomized trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of PRGN-2009 in combination with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who are resistant to pembrolizumab. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination treatment or pembrolizumab alone. The study aims to determine if the addition of PRGN-2009 can improve outcomes for patients who have already shown resistance to standard pembrolizumab therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have not responded to existing therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in combining immunotherapies with therapeutic vaccines, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
