About

This study is a prospective, single arm II clinical trial. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (SKB264) and QL1706 in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

Full description

Cervical cancer (CC) is a major global health concern. Current second-line options, including single-agent chemotherapy or PD-1/L1 inhibitors, provide limited benefit, with objective response rates (ORR) of only 5-29%. Patients with cervical adenocarcinoma, which constitutes 20-25% of cases, often have a poorer prognosis, and no specific treatments are recommended for this subtype.

QL1706, a novel dual anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody, has been approved in China for the second-line treatment of CC. Separately, TROP2 is highly expressed in 88.7% of CC and is associated with poor prognosis. Sac-TMT, a TROP2-directed ADC, combined with an anti-PD-1 agent showed a promising ORR of 57.9% in a phase II study, without new safety signals.

Based on the unique mechanisms of action of Sac-TMT and QL1706, as well as the existing research data, their combination is expected to provide a better second-line treatment option for recurrent or metastatic CC. Therefore, we are applying to conduct this Phase II, multicenter, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sac-TMT in combination with QL1706 for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic CC, in order to improve clinical benefits for patients.

Inclusion criteria

Female, aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form;
Diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer [pathological types include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma (excluding mucinous adenocarcinoma), and adenosquamous carcinoma, etc., with pathological report provided], and not suitable for radical treatments such as surgery or radiotherapy. Patients will be divided into the following two cohorts based on pathological type:
- Cohort 1: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma;
- Cohort 2: Cervical non-squamous carcinoma (including adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma, and other types of cervical cancer)
Have experienced failure of at least one prior line of platinum-based standard therapy or intolerance to platinum-based drugs in the recurrent or metastatic setting, or have experienced radiologically confirmed disease progression during or within 6 months after completion (≥4 cycles) of platinum-based neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Specific requirements are as follows:

(a) Failure of first-line platinum-based standard therapy: meeting any one of the following criteria: i. Radiologically confirmed disease progression during treatment; ii. Radiologically confirmed disease progression after completion of treatment, provided the patient had a response (Complete Response (CR)/Partial Response (PR)/Stable Disease (SD)) and received ≥4 cycles of treatment; (b) Investigator's judgment that the subject is intolerant to platinum-based drugs; (c) Radiologically confirmed disease progression during or within 6 months after completion (≥4 cycles) of platinum-based neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Weekly chemotherapy administered concurrently with radiotherapy for sensitization purposes should not be counted as chemotherapy cycles;
According to RECIST (v1.1) criteria, at least one measurable lesion (non-lymph node lesion with longest diameter ≥10 mm, or lymph node lesion with short diameter ≥15 mm). Lesions previously irradiated should not be selected as target lesions; unless there are no other measurable lesions available, in which case a previously irradiated measurable lesion that has shown confirmed progression radiologically may be selected as a target lesion. Subjects with only skin lesions or bone lesions are not eligible;
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1 within 7 days prior to dosing;
Expected survival period ≥12 weeks;
Subjects must have recovered from all toxicities resulting from prior therapy (i.e., improved to Grade 0 or 1, or to the level specified in the eligibility criteria), except for toxicities not considered a safety risk (such as alopecia, vitiligo, and other asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities). Subjects with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the investigator;
Adequate organ and bone marrow function (without transfusion, recombinant human thrombopoietin, or colony-stimulating factor therapy within 2 weeks prior to dosing), defined as follows:
1. Neutrophil count (NEUT#) ≥1.5×10⁹/L; Platelets (PLT) ≥100×10⁹/L; Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L;
2. Liver function: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN; for subjects with baseline liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN; Albumin ≥30 g/L; Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5 × ULN;
3. Renal function: Creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥50 ml/min (calculated using the standard Cockcroft-Gault formula); Urine protein ≤1+; if urine protein ≥2+, then 24-hour urine protein quantification must be ≤1.0 g;
4. Coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 × ULN;
5. Cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%.
For female subjects of childbearing potential, must agree to use effective medical contraception measures from the time of signing the informed consent form until 6 months after the last dose;
The subject voluntarily joins this study, signs the informed consent form, and is able to comply with the visits and related procedures stipulated in the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Subjects who have had a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, etc., that has undergone potentially curative therapy.
Subjects with known leptomeningeal metastasis, brainstem metastasis, spinal cord metastasis and/or compression, or other active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Subjects with brain metastases treated with local therapy may be enrolled if they meet the following criteria: clinically stable for at least 4 weeks, and no requirement for steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
