Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

Defined as the time from the date of randomization until objective tumor progression based on RECIST 1.1, by BICR (Blinded Independent Central Review), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients alive and free of progression will be censored at the last disease assessment date.

Time frame: from the date of randomization until objective tumor progression based on RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first assessed up to 5 years.

Secondary Outcomes

Overall Survival (OS) (key secondary endpoint)

Measured as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Patients alive at the cut-off date will be censored at the last date they are known to be alive.

Time frame: from the date of randomization until death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2)

Defined by the time from initial randomization to the second objective disease progression (ie, after the first subsequent therapy) as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause, whoever occurs first. Patients alive and free of second progression (including patients without any progression), will be censored at the last disease assessment date.

Time frame: from the date of randomization until second objective tumor progression based on RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first assessed up to 5 years

Quality Of Life evaluation based on Quality of Life Questionnaire EQ5D5L (The 5-level EQ-5D version)

The EQ-5D-5L essentially consists of 2 pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years

To assess the effects of Dostarlimab on Health related quality of Life (QoL) based on EORTC QLQ C30 (Quality of Life questionnaire-core 30)

Health related quality of life of the patient. For all scales a high score is equivalent to worse or more problems. Range is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible value of the raw score. All items are scored from1 to 4, giving a range=3. For each scale, calculate the raw score by the addition of item responses divided by the number of items. Then a linear transformation is used to standardise the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Score= (raw score-1)/rangex100

Time frame: Defined as the Global Health Status score from the EORTC QLQ C30 at 18 weeks, assessed up to 5 years

To assess the quantity of peripheral neuropathy event induced by chemotherapy based on EORTC QLQ-CIPN 20 (Quality of Life questionnaire-Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy 20)

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy assessed by QLQ-CIPN20 at 18 weeks for each problems or symptoms there are a scales with a high score which is equivalent to worse or more. All items are scored from1 to 4, giving a range=3. 1 = Not at all and 4 = Very much. For each scale, calculate the raw score by the addition of item responses divided by the number of items.

Time frame: Defined as the Global Health Status score from the EORTC QLQ-CIP20 at 18 weeks, assessed up to 5 years

To assess the effects of treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measure by determining time to deterioration in Quality of life, based EORTC QLQ-EN24 (Quality of Life Questionnaire - Endometrial Cancer Module)

To assess disease and treatment specific aspects of the quality of life of patients with endometrial cancer. A high score for the functional scales represents a high level of functioning, while a high score for the symptom scales represents a high level of symptoms or problems. Symptoms related to sexual/vaginal problems (EMSXV including item 51-53) are optional.

Time frame: Defined as the Global Health Status score from the EORTC QLQ-EN24 at 18 weeks, assessed up to 5 years

Defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed complete or partial response as per RECIST 1.1

Time frame: from the date of randomization until best objective response based on RECIST 1.1, assessed up to 5 years

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

Defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved confirmed CR or PR or have demonstrated SD for at least 24 weeks; per RECIST 1.1.

Time frame: from the date of randomization until response or stable disease per RECIST 1.1, assessed up to 5 years

Duration of Response Rate (DoR)

Time frame: From date of randomization until end of study, assessed up to 6 years

Time to first and second Subsequent Treatment

Defined as the time from the date of randomization to date of respectively the first and second subsequent anticancer therapy or death.

Time frame: from the date of randomization to date of event, assessed up to an average of 5 years

Molecular Characterization and Clinical Implications of Endometrial Cancer

The classification of endometrial cancer (EC) has diverged from traditional histologic features based on microscopic appearance to objective molecular characterization. Molecular characterization of EC is pivotal to inform prognosis and to guide therapeutic recommendations. First described by the Cancer Genome Atlas, molecular profiling was later revised by the Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer and TransPORTEC algorithms to create clinically applicable and relatively easy-to-implement molecular classification systems. Since 2020, the World Health Organization recommended molecular classification of EC into four distinct prognostic subtypes: ECs with polymerase ε (POLE) pathogenic mutations assessed by gene sequencing, mismatch repair deficiency determined by immunohistochemistry or microsatellite instability assay, and p53 abnormalities determined by immunohistochemistry or next-generation sequencing. The final molecular subtype without any of these defining features is called “no specific molecular profile” (NSMP). This is further stratified by estrogen receptor (ER) immunohistochemistry status. Patients with cancers identified as POLE pathogenic mutations have the best prognosis with almost no recurrence or death events, followed by those with strong ER-positive NSMP cancers. Mismatch repair deficiency ECs have intermediate prognosis, whereas p53 abnormalities and ER-negative NSMP have the worst prognosis. Other molecular and pathologic biomarkers of interest include tumor mutational burden, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, L1 cell adhesion molecule, β-catenin (CTNNB1), and lymph vascular space invasion, which may have prognostic and predictive implications. The current guidelines will continue to evolve; however, at minimum, it is recommended that all patients undergo testing for mismatch repair, p53, and ER, and POLE testing may be prioritized in select circumstances. Molecular classification provides the critical framework to deliver effective, personalized, high-quality care and informs clinical trial design. Molecular assessment ensures consistent diagnosis and provides prognostic information and predictive data to guide appropriate management.
