Study of NP137 with carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab combination therapy for patients with advanced endometrial or cervical cancer who had prior chemotherapy

2 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on treating patients with endometrial carcinoma or cervical carcinoma that has spread locally or to other parts of the body (advanced/metastatic) and has gotten worse after previous treatment. The study tests a new combination of medications including a new drug called NP137 (a human antibody that targets a specific protein) together with established cancer drugs carboplatin, paclitaxel, and/or Keytruda (pembrolizumab).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective these drug combinations are for treating these types of cancer. The study is divided into two parts – first checking the safety of the treatment combinations, and then examining how well they work in fighting the cancer.

During the study, participants will receive their assigned treatment combination through intravenous infusion. The treatments will be given in cycles, and patients will be monitored regularly to check their response to the treatment. Doctors will use imaging scans to measure if tumors are shrinking and will track any side effects that may occur. The total treatment period may last up to 24 months, depending on how well patients respond to the treatment.

1 Initial evaluation

Your medical tests must be completed within 7 days before starting treatment to confirm adequate organ function

A pregnancy test will be conducted if applicable (within 72 hours before starting treatment)

Your tumor tissue sample will be collected for analysis

2 Treatment administration

You will receive four medications through intravenous infusion:

Carboplatin

Paclitaxel

NP137 (antibody medication)

Keytruda (pembrolizumab)

Regular monitoring of your heart function will be performed, including blood pressure checks and heart tests

Blood samples will be collected to monitor your response to treatment

3 Response monitoring

Your response to treatment will be evaluated after 3 months

Regular imaging scans will be performed to assess how your tumor responds to treatment

Your doctor will monitor any side effects using standardized criteria

Additional blood tests will be performed to check your organ function and overall health

4 Follow-up period

You will need to continue using effective contraception for 6 months after completing treatment if applicable

Regular check-ups will continue to monitor your health status

Your survival and disease status will be tracked throughout the study period until September 2026

Trial locations

NP137 (Netrin-1 antibody) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets Netrin-1. It is an experimental medication being tested for treating advanced endometrial and cervical cancer. This antibody works by targeting specific proteins involved in cancer growth.

Carboplatin is a chemotherapy medication commonly used to treat various types of cancer. It works by interfering with cancer cell DNA, which helps stop cancer cells from growing and dividing.

Paclitaxel is a chemotherapy medication that works by stopping cancer cells from dividing. It is commonly used in combination with other cancer treatments and is effective against various types of cancer.

Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy medication that helps the body’s immune system detect and fight cancer cells. It works by blocking a protein that prevents T-cells (immune cells) from attacking cancer cells, allowing the immune system to work more effectively against the cancer.

Endometrial Carcinoma – A cancer that develops in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It begins when cells in the endometrium start growing abnormally and multiply without control. The cancer can grow locally within the uterus and may spread to nearby tissues. In advanced stages, it can spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream.

Cervical Carcinoma – A cancer that forms in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It develops gradually, starting as abnormal cell growth in the cervical tissue. These abnormal cells multiply and can spread to surrounding tissues. In advanced stages, the cancer can extend beyond the cervix to nearby organs and may spread to distant parts of the body.
