Can a Hormone-Blocking drug boost chemo against cervical cancer?

NCT ID NCT07763496

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding relacorilant—a drug that blocks a stress-related hormone—to the chemotherapy nab-paclitaxel can shrink tumors in people with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Participants have already tried platinum-based chemo and immunotherapy without lasting benefit. The study will measure how many people respond, how long responses last, and how safe the combination is.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
relacorilant combined with nab-paclitaxel
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced cervical cancer whose disease has stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study, so the treatment may not work as hoped or may cause side effects. Results need confirmation in larger trials.
