Dostarlimab and Pembrolizumab in Endometrial Cancer Treatment

Efficacy and Safety

  • The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends dostarlimab and pembrolizumab as treatment options for dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer, with dostarlimab demonstrating a 61.4% 2-year PFS rate in the RUBY trial 1
  • The National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggests that both dostarlimab and pembrolizumab have robust activity as monotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer, with an objective response rate of 42.3% for dostarlimab in the GARNET trial 3
  • The European Society for Medical Oncology notes that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib has established efficacy in pMMR/MSS endometrial cancer, with a median PFS of 6.6 months in the KEYNOTE-775 trial 3
  • The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends biomarker testing, including MMR IHC and MSI testing, to determine eligibility for dostarlimab and pembrolizumab treatment 2
  • The Society of Gynecologic Oncology suggests that dostarlimab plus chemotherapy may be particularly effective in dMMR/MSI-H patients, with a substantial PFS benefit in the RUBY trial 1
