Virus therapy takes on cervical and endometrial cancer
NCT ID NCT06552598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a modified virus (KD01) that targets and kills cancer cells, given alone or with an immunotherapy drug (AK104). It includes 97 women with cervical or endometrial cancer, some of whom have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the virus is safe and can shrink tumors, especially in younger women who want to preserve fertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KD01 (a modified virus that targets and kills cancer cells) combined with AK104 (an immunotherapy drug) and other agents
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for gynecologic cancers, potentially preserving fertility in younger women.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase I/II trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The virus and immunotherapy may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.

Inclusion Criteria -1.Phase I: Patients with gynecologic malignancies who have failed systemic therapy. Specifically, histologically or cytologically confirmed gynecologic malignancies that have progressed after adequate treatment and for which no effective therapy is available, or no standard therapy exists.Age: 18 to 75 years old (inclusive). Phase II: Reproductive-aged women with a strong desire to preserve fertility, who understand and accept potential risks (recommended age ≤ 40 years old).Cohort A (Cervical Cancer Cohort): Histologically confirmed cervical squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma, staged as IB1 (tumor size ≥ 1 cm), IB2, IB3 (tumor size ≤ 5 cm), or IIA1 (FIGO 2018 ). Baseline MRI confirms no involvement of the lower uterine segment; vaginal involvement length \< 2 cm for Stage II patients.Cohort B (Endometrial Cancer Cohort): Histologically confirmed endometrial atypical hyperplasia or endometrial adenocarcinoma (FIGO Grade 1-Grade 2, FIGO 2023 Stage IA1 and IA2), with mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) or no response to progestogen therapy. Baseline MRI combined with chest CT or PET/CT confirms lesions are limited to the endometrial layer or superficial myometrium, with no obvious involvement of the deep myometrium, cervix, or extrauterine sites. * 2.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status: 0 or 1. * 3.Expected Survival: ≥ 3 months. * 4.No major organ dysfunction, including but not limited to hematopoietic, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, and renal function.

Platelet Count (PLT)≥ 75 × 10⁹/L 3. Hemoglobin (Hb)≥ 90 g/L Hepatic System: a.Total Bilirubin (TBIL)≤ 1.5 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) b.Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)≤ 3 × ULN; ≤ 5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases or primary liver cancer c.Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)≤ 3 × ULN; ≤ 5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases or primary liver cancer Renal System: 1. Creatinine (Cr)≤ 1.5 × ULN 2. Creatinine Clearance (Ccr) (calculated only if Cr \> 1.5 × ULN)\> 50 mL/min (per Cockcroft-Gault formula) Coagulation System: 1. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)≤ 1.5 × ULN 2. International Normalized Ratio (INR)≤ 1.5 × ULN * 5.Premenopausal female subjects must have a negative pregnancy test at screening.All subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a reliable contraceptive method (barrier contraception or abstinence) with their partners from screening until at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. * 6.Informed Consent: Voluntarily signs a written informed consent form prior to study participation, with a full understanding of the trial. Exclusion Criteria * 1.History of Severe Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases, including but not limited to: 1. Severe cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities requiring clinical intervention (e.g., symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias, Grade II-III atrioventricular block); 2.

Acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other Grade ≥ 3 cardiovascular events within 6 months prior to the first dose; 4.
