Cervical Cancer Clinical Trials in the UK

Find clinical trials for cervical cancer in the United Kingdom. Explore treatment pathways from early stage to advanced disease.

Understanding Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer affects ~3,200 women per year in the UK. Almost all cases are caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. The NHS HPV vaccination programme (offered to girls and boys aged 12-13) is expected to dramatically reduce cervical cancer rates in coming decades. Regular cervical screening (smear tests) detects pre-cancerous changes early.

Treatment Pathways

Early stage: surgery (hysterectomy or trachelectomy for fertility preservation). Locally advanced: chemoradiation (cisplatin + external beam radiotherapy + brachytherapy) is the standard treatment. Metastatic or recurrent: first-line pembrolizumab + chemotherapy (now standard based on KEYNOTE-826 trial), with bevacizumab for eligible patients. Second-line options include tisotumab vedotin (antibody-drug conjugate targeting tissue factor).

Clinical Trial Opportunities

Active UK trials include: therapeutic HPV vaccines, new immunotherapy combinations, ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates), and novel radiotherapy techniques. The NHS cervical screening programme is exploring AI-assisted screening and HPV self-sampling. Trials also focus on quality of life and fertility preservation.
