A Study of Carilizumab Combined With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

This is a one-arm phase II clinical study. In patients with stage III-IVA cervical cancer with pelvic lymph nodes \> 2cm, positive para-aortic lymph nodes, or lymph node metastases \> 2, patients with positive PD-L1 expression (CPS score ≥1) were treated with cararizumab combined with conventional concurrent chemoradiotherapy and immunomaintenance therapy for one year. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of carilizumab in combination with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and subsequent maintenance therapy.

The patient received neoadjuvant therapy once every three weeks for a total of seventeen cycles. From the first day of treatment, the patient will undergo concurrent chemoradiation for 5 weeks.The chemotherapy drug is cisplatin or carboplatin every week for 5 weeks. After the end of concurrent chemoradiation, the patient will continue to use camrelizumab as maintenance therapy until one year.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years old
2. Understand the research procedures and content, and voluntarily sign informed consent
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or stage III-IVA cervical carcinoma with adenocarcinoma;
4. According to RECIST 1.1 criteria, subjects must have at least one of the following risk factors demonstrated by CT or MRI or PET-CT:1) Pelvic lymph nodes with short diameter ≥20mm and para-arterial lymph nodes with short diameter ≥10mm;2)The number of lymph nodes \> 2 (single lymph node with short diameter ≥10mm);
5. CT, MRI, or PET-CT showed no distant metastasis;
6. Expected survival period ≥ 3 months
7. ECOG score: 0-1
8. Subject will provide sufficient formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens or sections of tumor archived tissue or fresh tissue that meet the test criteria and will be willing to undergo tumor biopsy for PD-L1 if required. The archived tissue must be a representative tumor specimen from less than 3 years old, or a series of unstained sections (not less than 4) of FFPE tumor tissue from less than 6 months old, and the relevant pathological report of the above specimens must be provided. Fresh tissue samples can be obtained by surgical resection or biopsy. The methods of biopsy include but are not limited to core needle biopsy, endoscopic resection or clamp biopsy (ensure sufficient tumor cells \> 100); Fine needle aspiration and liquid based cytology (TCT) samples are not accepted (i.e. samples that lack complete tissue structure and provide only cell suspension and/or cell smear); Demineralized specimens of bone metastases were not accepted. For patients with pD-L1 negative initial archived tumor tissue samples, biopsies may be performed at screening, subject to patient consent, to provide fresh tissue prepared wax blocks or slices for retesting for PD-L1 status.
9. Investigator-assessed suitability for concurrent chemoradiotherapy;
10. The values of laboratory tests performed for screening must meet the following criteria:

    Blood test 1) Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥90 g/L; 2) Absolute count of neutrophils (ANC) ≥1.5×109 /L; 3) Platelet (PLT) ≥100×109 /L; Biochemical examination 1) Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×ULN (Gilbert syndrome allowed ≤5×ULN); 2) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN (if liver metastasis exists, ALT and AST≤5×ULN); 3) Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN or endogenous creatinine clearance ≥50mL/min (Cockcroft Gault formula);
11. Thyroid function indicators: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroid hormone (FT3/FT4) were in the normal range; If TSH is not in the normal range, FT3 and FT4 can be grouped if they are in the normal range.
12. The subjects can be followed up regularly, have good communication with the researchers, and complete the study in accordance with the provisions of the study.
