AstraZeneca has launched a new clinical study titled ‘A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre, Global Study of Volrustomig in Women With High Risk Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Who Have Not Progressed Following Platinum-based, Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy (eVOLVE-Cervical).’ The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig, a biological treatment, in women with high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who have not shown disease progression after initial chemoradiation therapy. This study is significant as it targets a critical patient population with limited treatment options.
The intervention being tested is Volrustomig, administered via intravenous infusion. It is designed to enhance treatment outcomes for women with high-risk LACC, potentially offering a new therapeutic option where current treatments are insufficient.
The study is interventional with a randomized, parallel assignment model. It employs a quadruple masking approach (blinding participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors) to ensure unbiased results. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused, aiming to establish the effectiveness of Volrustomig compared to a placebo.
The study commenced on September 22, 2023, marking the start of patient recruitment. The primary completion and estimated study completion dates have not been disclosed yet, but the last update was submitted on July 28, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating when results might become available.
The announcement of this study could positively influence AstraZeneca’s stock performance, as successful outcomes may lead to a new marketable treatment for cervical cancer. This development is particularly relevant in the competitive oncology sector, where advancements can significantly impact investor sentiment and market positioning.
The eVOLVE-Cervical study is currently ongoing, with further details accessible on the ClinicalTrials portal.
