ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment approach for women with locally advanced cervical cancer, which means the cancer has grown but is still considered removable by surgery. The study is testing how well a combination of a medicine called Cadonilimab and a common chemotherapy drug called Cisplatin works when given before surgery, to see if it can help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes. Researchers also want to make sure this combination is safe for patients.

Women aged 18 or older with certain stages of cervical cancer who have not had any previous treatment for their current cancer may be eligible to join. To participate, patients need to be healthy enough for surgery and have good blood and organ function. During the trial, participants will receive 2 to 4 cycles of Cadonilimab and Cisplatin through an IV every three weeks before having surgery to remove the cancer. The study is currently recruiting patients and aims to better understand if this treatment can offer benefits with manageable side effects.
