New drug cocktail aims to fight cervical cancer without chemo
NCT ID NCT04906993
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, camrelizumab and famitinib, works better than standard chemotherapy for women with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. About 443 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug combo or chemo. The study measures how long the cancer stays under control and overall survival.
