Summary

"This trial is looking at patients with advanced cervical cancer that is positive for certain markers. They will be trying out a new treatment called VB10.16 alone or with atezolizumab,

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced cervical cancer that's HPV16-positive and PD-L1 positive. They must have seen their cancer progress after first-line treatment including pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, possibly with bevacizumab, and should not have had more than one prior treatment regimen for recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer.
What is being tested?
The study tests VB10.16 alone or combined with atezolizumab in patients whose cervical cancer has worsened despite previous treatments. It has two parts: the first compares VB10.16 + placebo to VB10.16 + atezolizumab in about 30 patients each; the second extends the better-performing treatment to an additional 70 patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical immune therapy reactions like fatigue, skin issues, inflammation of organs (like lungs or intestines), hormonal imbalances, infusion-related reactions, and increased risk of infections.
