About this trial

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent.

* EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) * pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells * Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery * Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery

Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells.

The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma that has been confirmed as proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)

Has radiographically evaluable disease, with measurable Stage III or either measurable or non-measurable Stage IV or recurrent disease per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), as assessed by the investigator

Has received no prior systemic therapy for endometrial carcinoma except the following conditions as pre-specified by the protocol: 1 prior line of systemic platinum-based adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the setting of curative-intent, prior radiation with or without radiosensitizing chemotherapy if >2 weeks before the start of induction treatment, or prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma that was discontinued ≥1 week before the start of induction treatment

Disqualifiers

Has carcinosarcoma, neuroendocrine tumors or endometrial sarcoma, including stromal sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, adenosarcoma, or other types of sarcomas

Has endometrial carcinoma of any histology that is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR)

Is a candidate for debulking surgery resulting in complete removal of all tumor and no evidence of radiological disease following surgery, or curative-intent radiotherapy at the time of enrollment

Has a history of documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe Meibomian gland disease and/or blepharitis, or severe corneal disease that prevents/delays corneal healing

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as evaluated by the blinded independent central review (BICR). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
2

Maintenance Treatment: Overall Survival (OS)

OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival 2 (PFS2) as Assessed by Investigator

PFS2 is defined as the time from randomization to the documented subsequent objective disease progression after initiation of new anticancer therapy or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS2 as assessed by the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
2

Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 27 months
3

Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 24 months
4

Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life (Items 29 and 30) Mean Score

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item scale to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" are scored on a 7- point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better overall health status. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status/Quality of Life score (Items 29 and 30) will be presented.

Time frame
Baseline and up to approximately 24 months
