Acupuncture to boost immune response in cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can boost your immune system's ability to fight cervical cancer, especially when the cancer has spread or come back. If you join, you'll receive acupuncture alongside your usual care, and researchers will monitor how your immune cells respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that has spread, come back, or continues to grow, and surgery or radiation is not an option for you.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have at least one tumor that can be measured precisely on a scan (CT or MRI).
- You are generally able to take care of yourself and are not bedridden (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- Your major organs (like bone marrow, liver, kidneys) are working well enough, based on standard blood tests.
- You have not previously used immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs for this cancer.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer), famitinib (a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors), and standard chemotherapy—for cervical cancer that has come back or spread and cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
This study looks for lasting viral infection in women with advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to better understand how the virus behaves and may help choose future treatments.
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy, then giving chemotherapy together with radiation, works better for advanced cervical cancer. It aims to improve cancer control and help people live longer, without major safety issues.
This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture at a specific point on the leg (called Zusanli) can help people with lung cancer who are getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It might reduce side effects and improve response to treatment.
This trial tests if adding acupuncture to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy helps people with advanced lung cancer. It is for those who have not had treatment before and whose tumors have low PD-L1 levels.
This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture (acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) to your first immunotherapy treatment can help reduce side effects like skin reactions or hormone imbalances. If you are about to start a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, this may help you manage treatment better.
