Could Liquid Biopsy Guide Treatment in Cervical Cancer?
- An exploratory analysis from the global phase 3 CALLA trial found that durvalumab combined with chemoradiotherapy reduced progression risk in locally advanced cervical cancer patients in 2025.
- This investigation used ultrasensitive ctDNA assays to track minimal residual disease and assess progression-free and overall survival outcomes in a randomized, placebo-controlled study.
- Patients with undetectable ctDNA at cycle 6 showed a risk reduction of disease progression or death by at least 95%, and low baseline ctDNA correlated with better survival in both treatment arms.
- The hazard ratio for progression-free survival with undetectable ctDNA in the durvalumab arm was 0.04 , with overall survival benefits similarly significant.
- These results suggest that ctDNA is a sensitive biomarker for predicting outcomes and that durvalumab plus chemoradiotherapy offers meaningful clinical benefit in advanced cervical cancer treatment.
