ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment approach for women with early-stage cervical cancer who want to preserve their ability to have children. The study combines standard chemotherapy with a medication called Camrelizumab that helps the immune system fight cancer. Researchers want to see how effective this combination is in completely removing the cancer, as well as how it affects pregnancy outcomes like rates of miscarriage and live births.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be women aged 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with stage IB1 cervical cancer and have a specific marker (PD-L1) that indicates they might benefit from this treatment. They must also be in good overall health and genuinely wish to have children in the future. Those who join the study can expect regular check-ups and monitoring throughout their treatment. It’s important to note that participants will need to follow specific guidelines, including using effective contraception during the study.
