About this trial

ICK-Gyn is a prospective, multicentric, non-interventional investigator-initiated trial (IIT) that aims to investigate the prognostic value of CRP kinetics in advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies under immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy on the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

women ≥ 18 years of age

histologically proven metastatic gynecological malignancies irrespective of therapy line

patients with advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies must fulfill treatment requirements for ICI therapy in the experimental group

planned ICI therapy in combination with palliative chemotherapy in the experimental group

Disqualifiers

missing indication for ICI therapy in the experimental group

any ICI therapy before inclusion into the trial

patients with advanced or metastatic endometrial or cervical cancer in the second or higher therapy line without indication to ICI therapy

pregnant or lactating patients

Trial population

120 patients will be included in the study after written informed consent. Of 60 patients in the control group, which will undergo chemotherapy of physician's choice, 25 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic cervical cancer, 25 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer and 10 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic ovarian or vulvar cancer. Of 60 patients in the experimental group, which will undergo palliative chemotherapy in combination with ICIs, 25 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic cervical cancer, 25 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer and 10 patients will be diagnosed with advanced or metastatic ovarian or vulvar cancer.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Prognostic value of CRP kinetics under ICI therapy on progression-free survival (PFS)

Evaluation of CRP kinetics to predict progression-free survival in advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies treated with ICIs in combination with chemotherapy. The CRP value is determined from blood samples.

Time frame
duration of therapy and follow-up data (10 years)

Secondary outcomes

1

Prognostic value of CRP kinetics in advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies under ICI therapy on the objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS).

* evaluation of CRP kinetics to predict objective response in patients with advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies receiving ICIs in combination with chemotherapy * evaluation of CRP kinetics to predict overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies receiving ICI in combination with chemotherapy * Exploratory analysis of further biomarkers related to immune response The respective values are determined from blood samples.
