Overview of Endometrial Carcinoma

The FDA accepts a supplemental biologics license application for dostarlimab plus chemotherapy in the treatment of mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer based on data from a prespecified interim analysis of the phase 3 RUBY/ENGOT-EN6/GOG3031/NSGO trial.

In this interview we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer, a gynecologic cancer that forms in the tissue lining the uterus.

Dostarlimab produces a survival benefit vs placebo in combination with standard of care therapy regardless of whether patients had mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high disease.

Data from the phase 3 DUO-E trial indicate that the safety of durvalumab/chemotherapy with or without olaparib/durvalumab or durvalumab monotherapy maintenance in recurrent endometrial cancer was consistent with previous reports of each agent.

Prexasertib is currently under investigation as part of a phase 2 trial as a treatment for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma, and urothelial cancers.

The European Medicines Agency validates the potential indication of dostarlimab/chemotherapy in mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability–high endometrial cancer based on the phase 3 RUBY trial.
