ABSTRACT
BackgroundConcurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with programmed blockade of the cell death-1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 pathway may promote a more immunogenic environment through increased phagocytosis, cell death, and antigen presentation, leading to enhanced immune-mediated tumor surveillance. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
The CALLA trial is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of the programmed cell death-ligand 1 blocking antibody, durvalumab, with and following concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone in women with locally advanced cervical cancer. STUDYHYPOTHESIS:
Durvalumab concurrent with and following concurrent chemoradiotherapy will improve progression-free survival in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage IB2 to IVA cervical cancer compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone. TRIALDESIGN:
CALLA is a phase III, randomized, multicenter, international, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients will be randomized 11 to receive either durvalumab (1500 mg intravenously (IV)) or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 cycles. All patients will receive external beam radiotherapy with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) IV or carboplatin (area under the curve 2) IV once a week for 5 weeks, followed by image-guided brachytherapy. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA The study will enroll immunotherapy-naïve adult patients with histologically confirmed cervical adenocarcinoma, cervical squamous, or adenosquamous carcinoma FIGO 2009 stages IB2-IIB node positive and stage IIIA-IVA with any node stage. Patients will have had no prior definitive surgical, radiation, or systemic therapy for cervical cancer. PRIMARY ENDPOINT The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1, histopathological confirmation of local tumor progression or death). SAMPLE SIZE Approximately 714 patients will be randomized 11 to receive either durvalumab + concurrent chemoradiotherapy or placebo + concurrent chemoradiotherapy. ESTIMATED DATES FOR COMPLETING ACCRUAL AND PRESENTINGRESULTS:
Patient enrollment is continuing globally with an estimated completion date of April 2024. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03830866.Key words
