  1. To evaluate the 12- and 24 month PFS
  2. To evaluate the OS
  3. To evaluate objective response rate (ORR)
  4. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR)
  5. To describe the treatment related ir(S)AEs
  6. To describe the QoL of patients over time

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 2

  1. Inclusion criteria for the observation cohort: Persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer commencing treatment or currently treated with a pembrolizumab containing regimen.
  2. Inclusion criteria for the early discontinuation cohort: • Previous inclusion in the observation cohort • Choice made to stop pembrolizumab for one of the following reasons: o Confirmed complete response if they had received at least 8 cycles of 3- weekly pembrolizumab, including at least 9 weeks beyond a CR (consistent with KEYNOTE-826 criteria) OR o Immune-related toxicity grade ≥ 3 OR o Patient’s preference (e.g. chronic or invalidating grade 1-2 immune-related toxicity) OR o Confirmed partial response if they had received at least 8 cycles of 3- weekly pembrolizumab, including at least 9 weeks beyond a PR (timing consistent with KEYNOTE-826 criteria) • Eligible and willing to discontinue pembrolizumab (with or without discontinuing bevacizumab)

Exclusion criteria 3

  1. Malignant other disease other than cervical carcinoma that required active treatment in the past 2 years: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial cancer, or any carcinoma in situ that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded
  2. Any condition, in opinion of the investigator, that may hamper compliance to the study procedures.
  3. Insufficient proficiency in written and spoken Dutch to understand the study information, complete Dutch language questionnaires, or provide informed consent will be excluded

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. PFS: The time from start of first line treatment to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary endpoints 6

  1. PFS-12 & PFS-24: The proportion of participants that are PFS event-free at 12 and 24 months for the complete cohort; the observation cohort and the discontinuation cohort separately and the different response outcomes (SD/PR/CR).
  2. The time from start of first line treatment to death due to any cause for the complete cohort and separately for the observation cohort and the discontinuation cohort.
  3. The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with CR and PR. This will be assessed for the complete cohort and separately for the observation cohort and the discontinuation cohort
  4. The DoR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs. It will be evaluated for the total cohort and separately for the observation cohort and the discontinuation cohort
  5. • The percentage of patients of which irAEs led to discontinuation or interruption (≥12 weeks) of treatment during (rechallenge of) PD-1 blockade separately for the observation cohort and discontinuation cohort • The percentage of patients that develop immune-related endocrinopathies separately for the observation cohort and discontinuation cohort
  6. The change in QoL will be assessed at different time points (according to Table 1.) and will be reported in a descriptive manner
