Tisotumab vedotin plus carboplatin or pembrolizumab in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer: 5-year results from the innovaTV 205/ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024 study

Abstract

Objective

Treatment options for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC) remain limited. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of tisotumab vedotin (TV)–based combinations with standard agents in first-line (1L) and previously treated (second-line or later [2L+]) settings in r/mCC.

Methods

innovaTV 205/ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024 (NCT03786081) was a multicenter, open-label phase 1b/2 study, which included dose-expansion arms of 1L TV + carboplatin (arm D), 1L/2L+ TV + pembrolizumab (arms E/F), and 1L TV + carboplatin + pembrolizumab ± bevacizumab (arm H). The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs).

Results

As of October 15, 2025, 139 patients were enrolled in dose-expansion arms D (n = 33), E (n = 33), F (n = 35), and H (n = 38). Confirmed ORR (median DOR) was 54.5% (8.6 months), 40.6% (not reached), 35.3% (18.2 months), and 65.8% (13.3 months) in arms D–F and H, respectively. Median PFS was 6.9, 5.3, 5.6, and 10.6 months; median OS was 25.5, 30.7, 15.3, and 28.0 months. Grade ≥ 3 AEs related to any treatment component occurred in 72.7%, 45.5%, 48.6%, and 86.8% of patients; AEs leading to TV discontinuation occurred in 24.2%, 24.2%, 34.3%, and 55.3% of patients in arms D–F and H, respectively.

Conclusion

With ≥ 5 years of follow-up, TV doublet combinations demonstrated durable activity consistent with previous findings and encouraging long-term OS in 1L and 2L+ r/mCC, with no new safety signals. The 1L TV-based triplet/quadruplet regimen showed meaningful antitumor activity with expected toxicity.
