Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

NCT04712851

Description:

This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Purpose

This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. Proportion of subjects with pathologic complete response (no evidence of dysplasia).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab in subjects with cervical intraepithelial
      neoplasia (CIN).

      II. Proportion of subjects with pathologic partial response (regression to a lower grade of
      dysplasia).

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Evaluation of Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in CIN lesions as a biomarker
      of response to therapy.

      II. Evaluation of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) status as a biomarker of response to therapy.

      III. Evaluation of HPV clearance as a surrogate endpoint.

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats
      every 6 weeks for 4 cycles (24 weeks).

          -  Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1

          -  Have normal organ function (with all baseline laboratory assessments in the normal
             range). Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of study
