Triage of Advanced Cervical Cancer Through Immunotherapy Induction (TRACTION)

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria will be assessed within 28 days of starting study treatment: 1. Ability to provide signed informed consent 2. Age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry 3. Willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up 4. Biopsy or CT scan confirmed recurrent, metastatic, or persistent cervical cancer 5. One of the following histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous, or adenocarcinoma 6. Not amenable to curative treatment (e.g. surgery and/or radiation) 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 - 1 8. Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 9. Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below. 1. Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL. 2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1000/mm3 . 3. Platelet count ≥100 x 109 /L (\>75,000/mm3 ). 4. Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN. This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician. 5. AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤5x ULN. 6. International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants. 7. Measured creatinine clearance (CL) \>40 mL/min or Calculated creatinine CL\>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) x 0.85 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) 10. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: 1. Women \<50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). 2. Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiationinduced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy). 11. If vaccinated against COVID-19, the last vaccine dose must be 14 days or greater from the first investigational product administration. 12. If a participant received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting study treatment. Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy, alopecia, or other non-relevant AEs may be deemed eligible at the discretion of the PI
