New combo aims to outsmart Drug-Resistant cervical cancer

NCT ID NCT06157151

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 study is testing whether adding an experimental therapy called PRGN-2009 to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can help shrink tumors in people with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer that has stopped responding to pembrolizumab alone. About 24 adults with HPV-positive cervical cancer will receive injections of PRGN-2009 plus pembrolizumab every few weeks. The main goal is to see how many patients experience tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

PRGN-2009 (a vaccine-like therapy) combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in patients whose cervical cancer has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the combination could be serious, and the treatment may not work for everyone.
