A Clinical Study of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) in Combination With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as First-line Maintenance Treatment of Cervical Cancer (MK-2870-036/TroFuse-036/GOG-3123/ENGOT-cx22)
- Summary
- Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is cancer in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb). Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Researchers want to learn about giving the study medicine sacituzumab tirumotecan (also called sac-TMT or MK-2870) along with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab treatments. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate, which is a type of medicine that attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of sac-TMT with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab, and if people tolerate them when given together, and * If people who receive sac-TMT and pembrolizumab, with or without bevacizumab, live longer overall or without their cancer getting worse as compared to those who receive standard treatment

Part 1 Safety Run-in: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)
Timeframe: Up to approximately 69 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Part 1 Safety Run-in: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE
Timeframe: Up to approximately 66 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Timeframe: Up to approximately 48 months
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by RECIST 1.1 as evaluated by BICR. PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Overall Survival (OS)
Timeframe: Up to approximately 60 months
OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Progression-free Survival 2 (PFS2) as Assessed by the Investigator
Timeframe: Up to approximately 60 months
PFS2 is defined as the time from randomization to the documented subsequent objective disease progression after initiation of new anticancer therapy or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS2 as assessed by the investigator will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More AEs
Timeframe: Up to approximately 64 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE
Timeframe: Up to approximately 61 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Change from Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status and Quality of Life Combined Score
Timeframe: Baseline and up to approximately 58 months
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. Participant responses to questions regarding Global Health Status (GHS; "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?") and QoL ("How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?") are scored on a 7-point scale (1 = Very poor to 7 = Excellent). The combined score of GHS and QoL is computed by averaging the raw scores of the 2 questions and then applying a linear transformation to standardize the average score, so that the combined score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better outcome. The change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS and QoL combined score will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning Combined Score
Timeframe: Baseline and up to approximately 58 months
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall QoL of cancer patients. Participant responses to 5 questions about their physical functioning are scored on a 4-point scale (1 = Not at All to 4 = Very Much). The combined score is computed by averaging the raw scores of the 5 questions and then applying a linear transformation to standardize the average score, so that the combined score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better outcome. The change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 physical functioning combined score will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Role Functioning Combined Score
Timeframe: Baseline and up to approximately 58 months
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall QoL of cancer patients. Participant responses to 2 questions about their role functioning are scored on a 4-point scale (1 = Not at All to 4 = Very Much). The combined score is computed by averaging the raw scores of the 2 items and then applying a linear transformation to standardize the average score, so that the combined score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better outcome. The change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 role functioning combined score will be presented.
Part 2 Maintenance Treatment: Change from Baseline in EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Cervical Cancer Module (QLQ-CX24) Combined Score
Timeframe: Baseline and up to approximately 58 months
EORTC QLQ-CX24 is a 24-item questionnaire that assesses symptoms common in women with cervical cancer and evaluates the impact of disease and/or its treatments. Items are rated on a 4-point scale (1 = Not at all to 4= Very Much) and are grouped into 3 multi-item scales (symptom experience, body image, and sexual/vaginal functioning) and 6 single-item scales (lymphedema, peripheral neuropathy, menopausal symptom, sexual concerns, sexual activity, and sexual enjoyment). The combined score is computed by averaging the raw scores of the items and then applying a linear transformation to standardize the average score, so that the combined scores range from 0-100. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms (lower quality of life) for symptoms scales, or better functioning for functional items. The change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-CX24 combined score will be presented.
