Purpose/Objective(s): Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in women, the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) in stage IB3~?A is 24%~76.1%. Nimotuzumab is a highly humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, which has a good effect on the treatment of LACC. In the primary analysis of the phase 3 CC3 study, after a median follow-up of 12 months, nimotuzumab combination with CCRT in LACC patients showed improved ORR, prolonged PFS and good safety. Here, we report updated analyses.

Materials/Methods: CC3 (NCT04678791) is an ongoing phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab in combination with CCRT in LACC patients. Patients with aged 18-75 years, histologically confirmed LASCC, staged IB3-IVA according to FIGO 2018, measurable primary tumor according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. The primary endpoint was 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) . Secondary endpoints were 3-year overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), complete response rate (CR) , and safety (CTCAE v5.0). All patients were randomly allocated to Nimo group and control group. The regimens had released at 2024 ASCO .

Results: As of the data cutoff (February 19, 2025), median (range) follow-up was 37.75 vs. 37.36 months. The baseline characteristics were balanced between two groups. Compared to control group, Nimo group exhibited better ORR (90.14% vs. 81.25%, p=0.03). The mPFS and mOS were not reached in two groups, but with significant better PFS in Nimo group (p=0.04) as shown in Kaplan-Meier curves. The 2-year PFS rate was 90% vs. 88%, respectively. The 2-year OS rate was 95.0% vs. 95.5%. Univariate cox regression of PFS showed patients aged <65 years benefited more from this combination regimen (p=0.02).There was no difference in SAE between the two groups (P>0.05) and no new AEs occurred.

Conclusion: Nimotuzumab combined with CCRT in the treatment of LACC patients showed significant best of response improvement, better PFS, and safety was manageable.
