Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with stage III, IVA, IVB, or recurrent endometrial cancer whose tumors are mismatch repair protein proficient (pMMR) and have a TP53 mutation, with eligible histologies such as endometrioid, serous, clear cell, carcinosarcoma, or mixed epithelial types.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors are mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), lack TP53 mutation, have early‑stage disease only, or who have contraindications to bevacizumab or platinum/taxane chemotherapy (for example uncontrolled hypertension, recent major bleeding, or poor wound healing) may not benefit from this regimen.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a phase III, randomized NCI‑sponsored trial comparing the combination of bevacizumab with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab against standard regimens of carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab. The primary endpoint is progression‑free survival, with overall survival, toxicity (CTCAE v5.0), and objective response rate as key secondary endpoints. The trial includes biomarker-driven analyses by p53 IHC pattern and mutation type and requires imaging assessments per RECIST 1.1 for patients with measurable disease. Biospecimens will be collected to support correlative studies and further molecular characterization.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding bevacizumab could delay disease progression and potentially extend survival for patients with pMMR, TP53‑mutated advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Anti‑VEGF drugs plus chemotherapy and single‑agent pembrolizumab have shown activity in gynecologic cancers and immunotherapy has proven benefit in some endometrial settings, but combining bevacizumab with both chemotherapy and pembrolizumab in pMMR, TP53‑mutated endometrial cancer is relatively novel and not yet established in phase III results.

Patients with brain metastases must have follow up imaging demonstrating no evidence of disease progression and that the disease is stable off of steroids * Age ≥ 18 * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2 * Not pregnant and not nursing * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm\^3 * Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm\^3 * Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dl * Creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≥ 30 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with known Gilbert's disease who have bilirubin level ≤ 3 x institutional ULN may be enrolled) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x institutional ULN * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class II or better * No active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics * No current evidence of intra-abdominal abscess, abdominal/pelvic fistula (not diverted), gastrointestinal perforation, gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, and/or need for drainage nasogastric or gastrostomy tube * No clinically significant bleeding within 28 days prior to registration * No uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic ≥ 160 mm Hg or diastolic ≥ 100 mm Hg * No major surgery within 28 days of initiation of bevacizumab * No active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment including corticosteroids. This includes, but is not limited to, patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease * Patients with vitiligo, endocrine deficiencies including type I diabetes mellitus, thyroiditis managed with replacement hormones including physiologic corticosteroids are eligible * Topical or inhaled steroids are allowed * Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other arthropathies, Sjogren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with topical medication and patients with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and anti-thyroid antibodies should be evaluated with the presence of target organ involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible * No history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids, or current pneumonitis * No history of stem cell or solid organ transplant * No history of allergic reaction to the study agent(s) or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the study agent(s) (or any of its excipients)
