A Phase 2b, Open-label, Single Arm, Multicentre, Pilot Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Dostarlimab in Women With Early-stage MMR Deficient Endometrioid Endometrial Adenocarcinoma.

QCGC-001/2023

The main goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate dostarlimab, an immunotherapy drug, as a potential alternative to surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer with Mismatch Repair deficiency, a genetic cause for 20-30% of cases. The study aims to establish dostarlimab's efficacy and safety in early-stage endometrial cancer, exploring its potential as a non surgical option for those unsuitable or unwilling to undergo major surgery, allowing for fertility preservation or addressing specific health conditions. Participants will have seven dostarlimab sessions over 12 months. The treatment plan involves four cycles every three weeks, followed by a three-week break, and then three cycles every six weeks. This research is a promising step toward a new, less invasive treatment choice for patients with specific genetic traits. It expands the range of care options for endometrial cancer.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female participant is at least 18 years of age (at the time of informed consent). 2. Participant has: i. histologically or cytologically proven Stage 1, FIGO grade 1 or 2, MMR deficient (Absence of at least one MMR protein (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6) by immunohistochemistry.) endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma, and ii. wish to preserve the uterus or are not a suitable candidate for hysterectomy. 3. Participant has an ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 4. Participant demonstrates no evidence of extrauterine disease assessed from all available clinical evidence (physical examination findings) and medical imaging including standard of care diagnostic CT, MRI, ultrasound, or X-ray and screening gadolinium contrast pelvic MRI 5. Participants must have adequate organ and bone marrow function defined as: i. absolute neutrophil count 1.5 x 109/L ii. platelets 100 x 109/L iii. haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL Adequate liver function: iv. total bilirubin \< 1.5x institutional upper limit normal (ULN) v. AST/ALT \< 2. 5 - 3x ULN Adequate renal function as defined by: vi. Creatinine \< 1.5x institutional upper limits OR creatinine clearance \> 30 ml/min Adequate coagulation profile: vii. INR or PT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless the participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as INR or PTT is within the therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants viii. aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as INR or PTT is within the therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulant 6. A potential participant with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the normal reference range for the population being studied may be rescreened once, at the Investigator's discretion, and may be included only if the Investigator considers that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors to the participant and will not interfere with the study procedures. 7. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at enrolment prior to each treatment cycle and use a highly effective contraceptive method including; oral contraceptive pills \[OCPs\], or an intrauterine hormone device \[IUD\]) from screening until at least 4 months following the last dose of dostarlimab. Females who are abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as part of their usual lifestyle do not need to use contraception. 8. Post-menopausal females. Post-menopausal status will be confirmed through testing of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (≥ 40 IU/mL) at screening for amenorrhoeic (≥ 12 months) female participants. 9. Participants with confirmed Type I or Type II diabetes mellitus must be well controlled by medication and/or diet and have glycated haemoglobin (HBAc1) \< 8.5% at screening and be willing to monitor blood glucose levels at home during study participation. 10. Participants must have normal blood pressure (BP) or adequately treated and controlled hypertension. 11. Participant is able to provide written informed consent and are willing to participate for the duration of the study and to follow study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participant has a histological (cell) type other than endometrioid adenocarcinoma (sarcomas or high-risk endometrial e.g., papillary serous, clear cell). 2. Participant is pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the trial period. 3. Participant has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant. 4. Participants with uncontrolled hypertension, history of hypertension crisis, history of hypertensive encephalopathy, QTc\>450 at baseline, other severe cardiovascular diseases including cerebrovascular accident (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III and IV heart failure and uncontrolled arrhythmia within the past 6 months. Rate-controlled arrhythmia may be eligible at the discretion of the Investigator. 5. Participant is considered a poor medical risk due to an uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease, or active infection (including, r acute pelvic inflammatory disease), requiring intravenous antibiotics within the past 2 weeks. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, active, non-infectious pneumonitis; uncontrolled major seizure disorder; unstable spinal cord compression; superior vena cava syndrome; or any psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study (including obtaining informed consent). 6. Participant has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days before the study start. 7. Participant has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with the use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Use of inhaled steroids, local injection of steroids, and steroid eye drops are allowed. 8.

Non-clinically significant laboratory abnormalities are not exclusionary.) 12.
