About this trial

The goal of this study is listed below.

Part A (Safety Run-in Phase) : To determine feasibility of pembrolizumab and nesuparib combination as maintenance therapy in patients with MMR-proficient advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer. Feasibility is defined as a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate less than or equal to 33%.

Part B (Randomization Phase)

: To evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab and nesuparib combination/ pembrolizumab monotherapy as maintenance therapy in patients with MMR-proficient advanced stage and recurrent endometrial cancer. Efficacy will be assessed by investigator assessed progression free survival (PFS) as assessed by RECIST 1.1.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient must be female ≥ 19 years of age

Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required. Patients with the following histologic types are eligible: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.).

Measurable stage III, measurable stage IVA, stage IVB (with or without measurable disease) or recurrent (with or without measurable disease) endometrial cancer.

MMR proficient confirmed by institutional (local) MMR IHC testing.

Disqualifiers

Patient has undergone prior treatment with a known PARP inhibitor.

Patient has a known hypersensitivity to nesuparib, pembrolizumab or combination cytotoxic chemotherapy components or excipients.

MMR deficiency confirmed by institutional MMR IHC testing.

Patients who are currently participating and receiving cancer-directed study therapy or have participated in a study of an investigational agent and received cancer-directed study therapy within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Dose-limiting toxicities

In Part A, To evaluate dose-limiting toxicities(DLTs) of combination maintenance treatment with pembrolizumab and nesuparib during the 21 days from first nesuparib and pembrolizumab administration, and to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose(RP2D) and dosing schedule.

Time frame
Assessed during 21days from day 1 of first combination maintenance treatment cycle (i.e., 21 days of Cycle 8 from day 1)
2

Overall distribution of progression-free survival

The time from randomization to the time when Progressive disease(PD) is first confirmed after administration of the first investigational drug (Pembrolizumab) or until death without disease progression.

Time frame
Approximately 11.01 months

Secondary outcomes

1

3, 6, 9 12-month Progression-free rate(PFS rate)

the proportion of patients who are alive and without disease progression after administering the investigational product

Time frame
3month, 6month, 9month, 12month after the study enrollment
2

Median Progression-free time(Median PFS time)

the proportion of patients who are alive and without disease progression after administering the investigational product

Time frame
All 36 subjects in each groups are enrolled and the 18-month follow-up period ends
3

Overall response rate(ORR)

the proportion of patients achieving complete remission(CR) or partial response(PR) as assessed by the Investigator per RECIST(v1.1) in patients who enter the study with measurable disease.

Time frame
All 36 subjects in each groups are enrolled and the 18-month follow-up period ends
4

Duration control rate(DCR)

the proportion of subjects who have achieved a best overall response of complete remission(CR), partial response(PR), or stable disesae(SD) per RECIST v.1.1 based on Investigator assessment.

Time frame
All 36 subjects in each groups are enrolled and the 18-month follow-up period ends
