ABSTRACT
The publication of two large randomized studies - the ENGOT-EN-6-NSGO/GOG-3031/RUBY trial and the NRG-GY018 trial - which investigated combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy to treat patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) has transformed the clinical study landscape in terms of first-line therapy for affected patients and has set a new standard of therapy. In the ENGOT-EN-6-NSGO/GOG-3031/RUBY trial, the addition of dostarlimab to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival and overall survival in the overall population, a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival and overall survival in the subgroup with dMMR/MSI-high tumors, and a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the subgroup with pMMR/MSI-low tumors. In the NRG-GY018 trial, the addition of pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the group with dMMR tumors, and a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the group with pMMR tumors. As expected, the effect in both trials was much more pronounced in the group of patients with dMMR/MSI-high tumors. According to the assessment of the Uterus Organ Commission of the AGO, all patients with dMMR/MSI-high tumors should receive chemoimmunotherapy and all patients with pMMR/MSI-low tumors who meet the inclusion criteria of the two trials discussed here may have chemoimmunotherapy. For dostarlimab this means patients with EC recurrence who will not undergo surgery or radiotherapy, patients with stage IIIA, IIIB or IIIC1 disease and a measurable lesion postoperatively, patients with stage IIIA, IIIB or IIIC1 disease with histological findings of serous EC, clear-cell EC or carcinosarcoma with or without a measurable lesion postoperatively, and patients with stage IIIC2 or IV disease with or without a measurable lesion postoperatively. For pembrolizumab this means patients with EC recurrence (except carcinosarcoma) who will not undergo surgery or radiotherapy, and patients with stage III or IVA disease (except carcinosarcoma) and a measurable lesion postoperatively or with stage IVB disease with or without a measurable lesion.
