Abstract
A review that systematically assessed the current state of clinical research into systematic therapy-based interventions against invasive cervical cancer. It analysed registry details of 59 systemic therapy-based cervical cancer trials on ClinicalTrials.gov with study start dates between January 2010 and June 2018. The review characterised the present cervical cancer trial landscape in terms of trial design features, systemic therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and repurposed therapy), and disease stages of interest. It also made an attempt to qualitatively synthesise the trial landscape in terms of the nature and trend of research focus, alignment with existing clinical needs, novelty of treatments or concepts pursued, and promise of new treatments.
