Implications
My Perspective

The latest clinical trial data support adding immunotherapy to


chemotherapy for patients with stage IV EC and dMMR. Dostarlimab
FDA approved in July 2034 for advanced and recurrent dMMR cases.

There are no head-to-head data comparing the addition of


dostarlimab vs pembrolizumab to CP in this setting

One consideration for treatment selection is that the RUBY trial


included patients with carcinosarcoma but the NRG-GY018 trial did not

Homologous Recombination Repair Deficiency (HRD) in EC

HRD promotes upregulation of PD-1 and PD-L1[1]


Preclinical data show synergy between PARP inhibitors and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies[2]

HRD is highly prevalent in EC (prevalence varies from 15% to 53%)[3]


HRD appears to be more common in non-endometrioid histology and p53-mutated EC[4,5]

ARID1A, ATM, ATRX, and BRCA1/2 are the most common HRD defects in EC[6]
PTEN is the most common mutation in endometrioid EC, [5] and PTEN loss may promote HRD[7]

The clinical significance of HRD in EC is still being elucidated [3,5]

Implications of the Data in pMMR EC

The treatment of pMMR tumors still represents


an unmet need that we need to further explore.
— Dr Monk
Treat pMMR EC According to Guidelines/FDA Approvals

NCCN guidelines include dostarlimab/CP and pembrolizumab/CP as category 1


regimens for primary therapy, and either is an option for pMMR EC a

NCCN guidelines for systemic therapy do not include atezolizumab/CP or the


durvalumab/olaparib/CP regimen, and more data are needed to confirm efficacy

aPembrolizumab is not recommended for patients with carcinosarcoma.

Implications of the DESTINY-PanTumor02 Trial for EC

T-DXd is an ADC and is not FDA-approved for EC


NCCN guidelines list T-DXd as a second-line option for HER2-positive (IHC 3+/2+) EC[1]

More data are needed to confirm the findings[2]


Study is limited by the small number of EC patients and its single-arm, open-label design

Other ADCs with molecular various targets are being studied in EC


Targeting FRα: luveltamab tazide and farletuzumab ecteribulin[3]; targeting TROP2:
sacituzumab govitecan and SKB264 [3]; targeting HER2: T-Duo[3] and DB-1303[4]

Key Take-Home Points

Patients with dMMR should receive immunotherapy


ICI plus CP in the frontline or single-agent ICI for recurrent EC if ICI naive

Patients with pMMR still require frontline chemotherapy


Many questions remain (eg, should bevacizumab or an ICI be added to CP)

Efficacy of immunotherapy is less robust in pMMR than in dMMR EC


Promising data were reported with a PARP inhibitor plus an ICI in EC with pMMR

In 2-L pMMR ICI naive recurrent EC


Pemrolizumab plus lenvatinib is approved in several countries (including FDA
and EMA) and regions as well as NCCN recomended
