Relacorilant and Nab-Paclitaxel in Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer
Second Line Therapy and Beyond With Relacorilant and Nab-Paclitaxel for Cervical Cancer With Loss of Benefit From Immune Checkpoint and Platinum Exposure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This phase II study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, if eligible. STELLA is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study. Approximately 63 participants will receive relacorilant orally in combination with intravenous nab-paclitaxel in 28-day treatment cycles. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another protocol-defined reason for discontinuation. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate, defined as the proportion of participants with a complete or partial response as their best overall response according to RECIST version 1.1. Secondary objectives include evaluating duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the safety and tolerability of the combination.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Active inflammatory bowel disease requiring immunosuppressive medication or previous history of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea.
- Clinically relevant and reversible toxicity from prior systemic anticancer therapies or radiotherapy that has not resolved to Grade ≤1 before enrollment, except alopecia, hearing loss, vitiligo, and endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy.
- Surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or anticipated requirement for a surgical procedure during the study. Participants must have adequately recovered from toxicity and/or complications of prior major surgery.
- Has received any of the following before enrollment:
- Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, investigational agent, or other treatment for the disease under study within 5 half-lives of the prior therapy, or 28 days if 5 half-lives is longer than 28 days, before the first dose of study treatment.
- Radiotherapy not completed at least 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment.
- Systemic, inhaled, or prescription-strength topical corticosteroids within a period equivalent to 5 half-lives of the corticosteroid before the first dose.
- Wide-field radiation therapy to more than 25% of marrow-bearing areas.
- Has received prior treatment with mifepristone or another glucocorticoid receptor modulator as part of a treatment regimen for cervical cancer.
- Myocardial infarction within 6 months before the first dose.
- Active infectious disease requiring intravenous therapy within 2 weeks before the first dose.
- Untreated, symptomatic, or corticosteroid-dependent central nervous system metastases.
- Is taking a prohibited concomitant medication specified in the protocol.
- Is receiving concurrent treatment in another investigational treatment study for cervical cancer.
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days before study treatment. Injectable seasonal influenza vaccines are generally inactivated and are permitted; intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccines are prohibited.
Other illness
- Requires chronic or frequently used systemic corticosteroids for medical conditions or illnesses.
- History of severe hypersensitivity or severe reaction to any study treatment.
- Has clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) that, in the investigator's opinion, may confound study results or interfere with participant safety or participation, including but not limited to:
- Unstable angina.
- New York Heart Association Class II or greater congestive heart failure.
- Serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication or prolongation of QTcF.
- Acute renal failure that has not recovered to baseline renal function.
- Known psychiatric disorder that would interfere with study compliance.
- Current uncontrolled chronic or acute infection with HIV, hepatitis C virus, or hepatitis B virus.
- History of another malignancy within 3 years before enrollment, except tumors with negligible risk of metastasis or death, such as adequately controlled basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast.
Other
- Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy.
- Is pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive during the projected duration of the study through at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
- Severe or advancing cirrhosis.
- Gastric-outlet obstruction.
- Is deprived of liberty, under guardianship or curatorship, or otherwise meets the legal definition of a vulnerable person under Regulation (EU) No. 536/2014.
Who the study is looking for
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
- Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer:
- Has progressed on or after treatment with 1 prior line of systemic platinum doublet chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab. Prior chemoradiotherapy in the Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer (LACC) setting is not considered a line of treatment.
- Has received anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy as part of a prior cervical cancer treatment regimen, if eligible.
- Has received no more than 3 prior systemic regimens for advanced disease, with no more than one line of single-agent chemotherapy, and/or no more than one antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy.
- Has received no prior treatment with weekly paclitaxel, other than a front-line combination treatment as part of a platinum doublet regimen.
- Has measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the investigator. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if radiographic progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
- Has provided documented informed consent.
- Is assigned female sex at birth and is at least 18 years of age at the time of providing informed consent.
- Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 within 7 days before inclusion.
- Has consented to provide available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue from a core/excisional biopsy or surgical resection specimen. If unavailable, the most representative FFPE tumor block of the disease should be provided.
- Adverse events due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to Grade ≤1 or baseline, except alopecia or vitiligo. Participants with endocrine-related adverse events who are adequately treated with hormone replacement therapy are eligible.

- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN, or ≤3 × ULN for participants with Gilbert's syndrome.
- Albumin ≥2.5 g/dL.
- Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min, with full recovery from any episode of acute renal failure.
