Plain-language summary
Cervical cancer is the second-most common cancer in the world and is a leading cause of cancer death among women in developing countries. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab have been recommended as the first-line treatment for patients who present with metastatic (e.g. stage IVB), persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer. However, patients in this setting are rarely curable. The immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), programmed death-1 (PD-1), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, has revolutionized the treatment of several cancers. The investigator previously reported the promising antitumor efficacy of camrelizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) combined with apatinib (VEGFR2 inhibitor) as second-line, or later, therapy in patients with advanced cervical cancer. This randomized study is to assess the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with camrelizumab plus apatinib compared to the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel and cisplatin/carboplatin plus bevacizumab in patients with stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF)
* Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years
* Patients must have primary stage IVB, recurrent or persistent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix which has not been treated with systemic chemotherapy and is not amenable to curative treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy NOTE: Prior adjuvant therapy is NOT counted as a systemic chemotherapeutic regimen for management of recurrent, persistent or metastatic carcinoma of the cervix; adjuvant therapy includes cisplatin given concurrent with primary radiation therapy (CCRT) and adjuvant chemotherapy given following the completion of concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy
* Patients must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1; measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded as ≥ 10 mm with computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); a lymph node must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis. Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy.
* Life expectancy exceeds 12 weeks.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
* Has the ability to swallow pills
* Provide cervical cancer tissue (archival or fresh biopsy specimen) prior to randomization for PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) t…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
