Brief summary
To explore the efficacy and safety of administrating QL1706 in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic cervical cancer who had developed resistance to prior PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapies.
Detailed description
The application of PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in cervical cancer is becoming increasingly widespread. However, monotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors demonstrates only a 10-20% response rate and a median progression-free survival of merely 2 months in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. To address the issue of resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in cervical cancer patients, we plan to conduct a clinical study. This study will administer a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody to patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who are resistant to PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, thereby evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of the bispecific antibody in this specific patient population.
Interventions
Enrolled patients will receive intravenous infusion of QL1706 once every 3 weeks at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg until disease progression, death, intolerable treatment toxicity, or withdrawal from the clinical trial for any reason.
