EMPOWER-Cervical 1: Cemiplimab โจ
Study Design:
๐งช Phase III trial investigating cemiplimab monotherapy a PD-1 inhibitor, for platinum-refractory recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer.
Key Outcomes:
1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS):
๐ฉบ 4.2 months (cemiplimab) vs. 3.0 months (chemotherapy).
2. Overall Survival (OS):
๐ 11.7 months (cemiplimab) vs. 8.5 months (chemo) (HR = 0.66).

Key Insights:
1. ๐ Quadruplet Regimen: Combining immunotherapy, a chemotherapy doublet, and bevacizumab provides outstanding PFS and OS benefits across PD-L1 subsets.
2. ๐ For Bevacizumab-Ineligible Patients: Pembrolizumab with a chemotherapy doublet remains a strong option.
3. ๐ฉบ Affordability Considerations: Bevacizumab with a chemotherapy doublet is a cost-effective alternative.
