Combination treatment for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer

A Multicenter Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of PRGN-2009 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer.

Phase 2 Interventional Precigen, Inc · NCT06157151

This study is testing if adding a new treatment called PRGN-2009 to pembrolizumab can help people with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who haven't responded to pembrolizumab alone.

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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

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.

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