Jemperli + Zejula improved PFS in advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer in RUBY Part 2 phase III trial

In a planned analysis of Part 2 of the RUBY/ENGOT-EN6/GOG3031/NSGO phase III trial investigating Jemperli (dostarlimab) plus standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel), followed by dostarlimab plus Zejula (niraparib) as maintenance therapy, in adult patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, the trial met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival.

Phase III trial of Jemperli + chemo meets endpoint of OS in primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer

Part 1 of the phase III RUBY trial of Jemperli (dostarlimab) plus standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) followed by dostarlimab as a single agent, compared to placebo plus chemotherapy followed by placebo in adult patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer produced positive primary results from a planned analysis.

DUO-E phase III trial: Imfinzi + Lynparza reduces risk of progression/death vs. chemo in advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer

Imfinzi (durvalumab) plus platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by either Imfinzi monotherapy or Imfinzi plus Lynparza (olaparib) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chemotherapy alone in the overall trial population of patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Keytruda + chemo improved PFS as first-line therapy for advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma, regardless of MMR status

In a phase III NRG‑GY018 trial investigating Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) for the first-line treatment of patients with stage III-IV or recurrent endometrial carcinoma whose cancer was either mismatch repair proficient or mismatch repair deficient, the Keytruda regimen demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival for patients, regardless of mismatch repair status.

Keytruda + chemo met primary endpoint as first-line therapy for advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma

The phase III NRG-GY018 trial evaluating Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival for the treatment of patients with stage 3-4 or recurrent endometrial carcinoma regardless of mismatch repair status.
