E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Phase 2:
Female subjects over the age of 18 years with recurrent and/or metastatic cervical cancer who have relapsed after a platinum-based
treatment regimen for advanced (recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic) disease.
After the interim analyses, subsequent enrollment of subjects may be
based on biomarker enrichment (including but not limited to PD-L1
expression). In such cases, tumor tissue must be positive for the
selected entry biomarker prior to subject enrollment.
1. Voluntarily agree to participate by giving written informed consent. Participation in pharmacogenomics testing is optional.
3. Diagnosis and prior systemic treatment:
b. Phase 2:
I. Have (1) a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous-cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix, and (2) metastatic, locally advanced, and/or unresectable disease at the time of enrollment. Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required via pathology report.
Note: The following cervical tumors are not eligible: minimal deviation/adenoma malignum, gastric type adenocarcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, and mesonephric carcinoma.
II. Has cervical cancer and has relapsed after a platinum-based treatment (first line) regimen for advanced (recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic) disease; Note: Subject receiving chemotherapy concurrently with primary radiation (e.g., weekly cisplatin) or subject receiving adjuvant chemotherapy following completion of radiation therapy (e.g., paclitaxel and carboplatin for ≤ 4 cycles) and progressed within 6 months after treatment completion will be eligible as this systemic therapy will be considered as first line treatment.
4. Measurable disease – based on investigator assessment
b. Phase 2: Have measurable disease on imaging based on RECIST version 1.1.
Note: Subjects must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response, as defined by RECIST version 1.1. Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy.
Note: Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 must be confirmed by
independent central radiologic review prior to first dose. Subjects
without centrally confirmed measurable disease at baseline will not be eligible for this trial.
5. Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
6. Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values:
a. Adequate hematological function defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L, and stable hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (without transfusions within 1 week before first dose).
b. Adequate hepatic function based by a total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal (IULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≤ 2.5 x IULN, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level ≤ 2.5 x IULN, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x IULN.
c. Adequate renal function defined as creatinine ≤ 1.5 x IULN OR calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min for subjects with creatinine levels > 1.5 x IULN (if no local guideline is available, creatinine clearance should be calculated using the Cockcroft- Gault Method).
d. Adequate coagulation defined by international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time ≤ 1.5 x IULN (unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy); and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x IULN (unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy)
7. Other than the cancer for which the subject is enrolled, have no history of prior malignancy, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin, or has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for 5 years since initiation of that therapy.
8. In Phase 2, subjects must provide a sufficient and adequate formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample preferably from the most recent biopsy of a tumor lesion, collected either at the time of or after the diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease has been made AND from a site not previously irradiated. If no tumor tissue is
available, a fresh biopsy will be required. (See Section 6.4.2.1 for details.)
Note: Tissue from needle or excisional biopsy or from resection is required.
9. Female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening (within 72 hours before first dose of study drug) if of childbearing potential or be of non-child bearing potential. |

b. For Phase 2: > 1 systemic treatment regimen for the advanced (recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic) cervical cancer for which the subject is considered for the study
Note: In Phase 1, prior treatment with a CTLA-4 antibody is permissible for subjects with metastatic melanoma.
4. Has persisting toxicity related to prior therapy of NCI CTCAE Grade > 1 severity.
Note: Sensory neuropathy or alopecia of Grade ≤ 2 is acceptable.
