Abstract

Introduction BVAC-C, a novel B cell- and monocyte-based immunotherapeutic vaccine transfected with recombinant HPV E6/E7, exhibited favorable tolerability in the phase I study of recurrent cervical carcinoma. This ongoing clinical trial aims to assess the potential synergistic effect of BVAC-C and durvalumab (MEDI4736) in enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. The trial focuses on patients with HPV 16 or 18 positive cervical cancer that is recurrent after or refractory to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab.

Methods The trial is divided into two phases. In Part A, a 3+3 dose-escalation design investigates BVAC-C combined with 1500 mg durvalumab to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose. After determining the phase 2 dose, Part B proceeds with a phase 2 expansion involving up to 25 patients. The evaluation in Part B centers on both safety and clinical efficacy, as gauged by the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Tumor response evaluation adheres to RECIST 1.1 criteria and iRECIST. Exploratory study: In addition to evaluating clinical outcomes, an exploratory study is ongoing to identify potential biomarkers, including PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and HLA typing. These assessments are conducted using tumor samples and blood specimens.

Current Trial Status Enrolment for Part A commenced in September 2021 across six Korean centers. Part A, encompassing 9 patients, concluded in June 2022. Currently, Part B is actively enrolling patients with 15 participants enrolled so far.
