An ambispective, real-world multi-center study of DOstarlimab in patients with Recurrent or Advanced DNA mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high endometrial cancer (GEICO 120-R/DORA study)

Patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who experience progression following platinum-based chemotherapy have limited treatment options. The phase I GARNET trial showed the high efficacy of dostarlimab in treating mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) and/or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) endometrial cancer. DORA is a multi-center, ambispective, observational real-world study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dostarlimab. The study included patients with dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer who had experienced tumor progression on or after a platinum-based treatment and had received at least 1 cycle of dostarlimab within the Spanish Expanded Access Program. The primary endpoints were objective response rate and duration of response. A total of 129 patients from 57 of the Spanish Research Group for Gynaecological Cancer (GEICO) affiliated hospitals were enrolled, with 125 evaluable for radiological response. The median duration of dostarlimab administration was 8.8 months (interquartile range; 13.2), and 73 patients (57%) remained on therapy at the data cutoff. With a median follow-up of 11.6 months (range; 0.8-30.1), the objective response rate was 53.6% (95% CI 44.4 to 62.5). Complete response was observed in 27 patients (21.6%), and partial response in 40 (32%), with a median time to response of 2.9 months (95% CI 2.6 to 3.6). The median duration of response was not reached. The probability of maintaining the response at 12 and 24 months was 84.98% (95% CI 70.8 to 92.5) and 73.39% (95% CI 50.5 to 86.9), respectively. Treatment was discontinued due to toxicity in 4.7% of patients. Dostarlimab monotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer patients shows similar efficacy in real-world practice to that observed in the GARNET trial.

The efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine in FRα-positive, third-line and later, recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer: the single-arm phase II PICCOLO trial

Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a first-in-class, folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate with United States Food and Drug Administration approval for FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. PICCOLO is a phase II, global, open-label, single-arm trial of MIRV as third-line or greater (≥3L) treatment in patients with FRα-positive (≥75% of cells with ≥2+ staining intensity) recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC). Participants received MIRV (6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight every 3 weeks) until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Key secondary endpoint was investigator-assessed duration of response (DOR). Additional endpoints included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Analyses of subgroups by disease characteristics (e.g. platinum-free interval) and treatment history [e.g. prior bevacizumab and poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) treatment] were exploratory. Seventy-nine participants were enrolled and efficacy assessable. The primary endpoint was met; ORR was 51.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 40.4% to 63.3%]. Median DOR was 8.25 months (95% CI 5.55-10.78 months) and median PFS was 6.93 months (95% CI 5.85-9.59 months). OS was not mature at data cut-off. ORR was 45.8% (95% CI 32.7% to 59.2%) in participants with PD while on/within 30 days of prior PARPi (n = 59) and 60.0% (95% CI 14.7% to 94.7%) in those without PD with prior PARPi (n = 5). No new safety signals occurred; most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were gastrointestinal, neurosensory, and resolvable ocular events. TEAEs led to discontinuation in 13 participants (16%) and death in 2 participants (3%). MIRV as ≥3L treatment in heavily pretreated recurrent FRα-positive PSOC demonstrated notable efficacy and tolerable safety, including among those with prior PD on or within 30 days of PARPi (NCT05041257).

Mirvetuximab Soravtansine Monotherapy in Platinum-Sensitive Epithelial, Peritoneal, and Fallopian Tube Cancers

PICCOLO (IMGN853-0419) is a Phase 2 multicenter, open label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in participants with platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers with high folate receptor-alpha (FRα) expression.
