First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—zimberelimab (an immunotherapy) and lenvatinib (a targeted therapy)—in 30 patients with advanced cervical cancer that has worsened after prior immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the combo can shrink tumors or slow disease progression. Researchers are also checking safety and the best dose of lenvatinib.
