Immunotherapy added to chemo aims to boost cervical cancer remission

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 75 years. * Histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix; FIGO 2018 stage IB3 or IIA2, or carefully selected stage IIB or IIIC1r disease following multidisciplinary team evaluation, with a maximum primary tumor diameter ≥4 cm. For participants with stage IIB or IIIC1r disease, PET/CT or an equivalent staging examination must exclude para-aortic lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, and definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy must remain feasible if neoadjuvant treatment is ineffective. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Able to provide adequate tumor tissue for biomarker testing, defined as at least 18 qualified tissue sections. * No prior surgery for cervical cancer, except staging procedures, and no prior radiotherapy, chemotherapy, systemic anticancer therapy, investigational therapy, or immunotherapy for cervical cancer. * At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1, defined as a tumor lesion with a longest diameter ≥10 mm on CT or a lymph node with a short-axis diameter ≥15 mm on CT. * Estimated life expectancy ≥6 months. * No primary or metastatic central nervous system disease. * Adequate major organ function, meeting all of the following criteria: * No blood or blood-product transfusion within 14 days before assessment; * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 10⁹/L; * Platelet count ≥80 × 10⁹/L; * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL; * Total bilirubin \<1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN; * Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. * Positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. * Written informed consent provided and willingness to comply with protocol-required follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Considered unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator. * Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any study drug. * Any active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease, including but not limited to interstitial pneumonitis, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, arthritis, nephritis, hypophysitis, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism; vitiligo; or asthma requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators. * Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including HIV infection, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. * Prior treatment with PD-1 and/or PD-L1 inhibitors, CTLA-4 antibodies, or other agents targeting immune-regulatory receptors. * Current use of immunosuppressive agents. Patients in a stable condition who do not require systemic immunosuppressive therapy may be eligible. * Long-standing unhealed wounds or fractures; major surgery, severe traumatic injury, fracture, or ulcer within 4 weeks before initiation of study treatment. * Poorly controlled cardiac symptoms or cardiovascular disease, including New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%; abnormal coagulation function defined as INR \>1.5 or APTT \>1.5 × ULN with a bleeding tendency; or an arterial or venous thromboembolic event within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment. * Symptomatic ascites, pleural effusion, or pericardial effusion requiring therapeutic puncture or drainage. Patients whose pleural or pericardial effusion remains stable for at least 2 weeks after drainage before the first dose of study treatment may be eligible. * Central nervous system metastases. * History of another malignancy, except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * History of psychotropic drug abuse with inability to discontinue such use, or presence of a psychiatric disorder.
