Serplulimab for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

This study is a randomized, controlled, open-label, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of serplulimab in combination with chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Eligible patients are women aged 18-75 years with FIGO 2014 (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage IB2-IIB disease with lymph node positivity or stage III-IVA disease. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups. Patients in the control group will receive serplulimab immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy, followed by maintenance serplulimab for up to 2 years. Patients in the experimental group will receive, in addition to the above treatment, two cycles of induction chemotherapy and four cycles of consolidation chemotherapy, consisting of paclitaxel and platinum-based agents. The primary endpoint of this study is progression-free survival (PFS), which will be assessed by investigators according to RECIST version 1.1.
