Study summary

This was a multicenter, open-label, 2-part randomized study of MEDI4736 administered as monotherapy or in combination with ADXS11-001 to participants with recurrent/persistent or metastatic squamous or non-squamous carcinoma of the cervix or metastatic human papillomaviruses (HPV)+ squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted in 2 parts Part A (dose-escalation and expansion) and Part B (expansion).

Part A:

Part A of the study was a Phase 1 dose escalation evaluation of the combination treatment of ADXS11-001 at a fixed dose of 1×10\^9 colony-forming units (CFU) administered intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks (Q4W) and escalating doses of MEDI4736 (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) administered IV every 2 weeks (Q2W) to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part A also included an expansion cohort of participants with metastatic SCCHN only. Once the RP2D was identified, the expansion cohort of Part A of the study were to commence.

Part B:

Part B of the study was a Phase 2 design in which participants who had failed at least 1 prior systemic treatment for their recurrent, persistent or metastatic cervical cancer were enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive either MEDI4736 10 mg/kg alone or MEDI4736 10 mg/kg in combination with ADXS11-001 1×10\^9 CFU.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) in Part A and Part B

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also considered an AE. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any AE that: results in death; life threatening; resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; a new cancer; associated with an overdose; another important medical event. Treatment emergent was defined as events with onset dates on or after the first dose of study medication and within 30 days following the last dose of study medication.

    Time frame: From first dose until 30 days after last dose (maximum duration: 98 weeks)

  2. Progression Free Survival (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 or death. The progressive disease is defined at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started, the appearance of one or more new lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who had not experienced disease progression or who were still alive at the time of evaluation were censored for the analysis. The PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  3. Progression Free Survival (Part A): Human Papillomavirus (HPV)+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression based on RECIST version 1.1 or death.

Limitations and caveats
Based on a discussion with the FDA, a 1-year duration of the Listeria monocytogenes surveillance period was considered sufficient (instead of protocol specified 3-years period) to monitor and characterize any potential risk associated with delayed listeremia, and therefore, the study was terminated early.

Participant flow

Participants were enrolled at study centers in the United States.

Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. The PR is defined as \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. The SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the study treatment started. The PD is defined as at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 20, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
