bat1308 combined with platinum-based chemotherapy± bevacizumab for pdl1-positive (cps ≥1) cervical cancer

Conditions: Cervical Cancer

Summary: phase ii study: a study to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of bat1308 combined with platinum-based chemotherapy ± bevacizumab phase iii study: a confirmatory study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bat1308 combined with platinum-based chemotherapy ± bevacizumab as first-line therapy for pd-l1-positive (cps ≥ 1) persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer

the single-arm phase ii exploratory study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug will include 20-50 subjects to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of bat1308 combined with platinum-based chemotherapy ± bevacizumab. dynamic analysis will be conducted after the inclusion of 20 subject. if the safety of this combination regimen is manageable and the efficacy meets expectations, the enrollment in the phase ii study will be stopped and the phase iii study will be entered. the phase iii study is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical study of bat1308 combined with platinum-based chemotherapy ± bevacizumab versus placebo plus platinum-based chemotherapy ± bevacizumab as first-line therapy for pd-l1-positive (cps ≥ 1) persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. pfs and os will be used as the combined endpoints, and a superiority design will be adopted with a total sample size of 476 subjects. stratified block randomization will be performed based on the following random factors: patients will be stratified based on the presence of metastatic diseases at the time of diagnosis (yes vs. no), pd-l1 cps (1-10 vs. ≥ 10) and planned use of bevacizumab (yes vs. no).

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria： 1. female patients, aged ≥18 years to ≤70 years, who voluntarily sign the informed consent form; 2. with persistent, recurrent or metastatic (the federation international of gynecology and obstetrics \[figo\] stage ivb) cervical cancer confirmed histologically (pathological reports required), including pathological types of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous cell carcinoma and clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma, not amenable to radical surgery and/or radical radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy, with no prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer; 3. subjects should be positive for pd-l1 expression (cps ≥ 1) in tumor specimens by the central laboratory. subjects should provide sufficient formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (ffpe) specimens or sections (6 sections recommended, not less than 3 sections), and be willing to undergo a tumor tissue biopsy for pd-l1 testing when necessary. the archival tissues must be representative tumor specimens collected within three years or unstained continuous sections of ffpe tumor tissues freshly resected within six months, and relevant pathological reports of the aforementioned specimens must also be provided. both surgical resection and biopsy are acceptable methods for acquiring fresh tissue specimens; fine-needle aspiration and liquid-based cytology (tct) samples (i.e., samples lacking complete tissue structures and providing only cell suspension and/or cell smears) are not acceptable; decalcified bone metastasis tumor tissue specimens are not acceptable; 4. at least one measurable tumor lesion per recist v1.1; lesions at sites previously treated with radiotherapy or other loco-regional therapies can only be considered as non-target lesions, unless unequivocal progression of the lesion occurs or the tumor activity of the lesion is confirmed by biopsy and the lesion is measurable 5. life expectancy ≥12 weeks as evaluated by the investigator; 6. eastern cooperative oncology group (ecog) performance status score 0 or 1; 7. female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before the first dose and are willing to take effective birth control/contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy during the study until 6 months after the last dose of the study drug. postmenopausal women must have amenorrhea for at least 12 months before they are considered as women of non-childbearing potential. 9. able to understand trial requirements, willing and able to comply with the trial and follow-up procedures. exclusion criteria： 1. subjects with other pathological types of cervical cancer, such as small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, etc.; 2. pregnant or lactating women; 3. prior radiotherapy within 14 days before the first dose. except for palliative area radiotherapy for bone metastases for which pain cannot be effectively controlled by systemic therapy or local pain relief (radiotherapy area \< 5% of bone marrow area); prior chemotherapeutic agents for increasing the sensitization to radiotherapy within 14 days before the first dose; prior use of traditional chinese patent medicines or treatment with anti-tumor related functions as specified in the nmpa-approved package inserts within 14 days before the first dose, or chinese herbal medicines for anti-tumor purposes clearly documented in the medical record ; 4. patients who received live/attenuated vaccines and mrna vaccines within 4 weeks prior to screening or scheduled to receive those vaccines during the study period; 5. any prior treatments targeting the mechanism of tumor immunity, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-pd-1 antibodies, anti-pd-l1 antibodies, anti-ctla-4 antibodies, etc.) or therapies that target immune co-stimulatory molecules (e.g., antibodies targeting icos, cd40, cd137, gitr, ox40, etc.); 6. aes caused by prior anti-tumor therapy that are still \> grade 1 (as per ctcae v5.0) before the first dose of the study drug (except for aes, such as alopecia, fatigue, etc., that cannot be recovered to ≤ grade 1 and will remain stable for a long time as judged by the investigator based on actual clinical situations, except for grade 2 peripheral neurotoxicity, and hypothyroidism stabilized by hormone replacement therapy); patients who previously experienced ≥ grade 3 iraes or discontinued immunotherapy due to iraes of any grade; 7. active leptomeningeal disease or poorly controlled brain metastases. patients with suspected or confirmed brain metastases are allowed to be enrolled if they have no obvious symptoms and the results of imaging examinations performed at least 28 days before the first dose of the study drug showed stable disease and no treatment (e.g., radiotherapy, surgery, or corticosteroid treatment) is required to control the symptoms of brain metastases within 28 days before the first dose of the study drug; 8. patients who underwent major organ surgery (excluding aspiration biopsy) or experienced significant trauma within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug, or those who require elective surgery during the trial period;
