What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of combining intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with the drug Dostarlimab in women diagnosed with MMR-D/MSI-H endometrial cancer who have recently undergone surgery. The trial aims to determine if this combination can improve treatment outcomes for patients with specific cancer characteristics. Eligible participants must have completed surgical staging and have stage III/IVA disease, with certain histological criteria. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with MMR-D or MSI-H endometrial cancer who have recently undergone complete surgical staging.

Not a fit: Patients with stage IIIB and IIIC2 endometrial cancer or those with measurable disease after surgery may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for women with advanced endometrial cancer post-surgery.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of immunotherapy and radiation in various cancers, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 18 years or older
* ECOG performance status 0-1
* Endometrial cancer: all histologies (submission of pathology report is required for all patients who underwent surgery outside of MSK)
* MMR-D or MSI-H or POLE-mutated (submission of report\[s\] required for. patients who underwent testing outside of MSK POLE-mutated endometrial cancers will be included regardless of MMR/MSI status and limited to up to 3 patients per group.

  * Patients with hypermethylation of MMR gene promoters (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2) will be included
  * POLE-mutated endometrial cancers will be included
* Must have undergone a complete surgical staging and have stage III/IVA disease.

  * Patients with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) after surgery are NOT eligible.
  * PatienSurgery completed between 3 weeks and 12 weeks (inclusive) before cycle 1 day 1 of therapy, and must have adequately recovered from surgery and any complications of surgery.ts with isolated tumor cells in lymph nodes found on surgery will be counted as clinical stage III disease
* Surgery completed between 3 weeks and 12 weeks (inclusive) before cycle 1 day 1 of therapy, and must have adequately recovered from surgery and any complications of surgery.
* Has a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential, and agrees use an adequate method of contraception from screening through 150 days after the last dose of study treatment, or is of nonchildbearing potential. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):

  °≥45 years of age and has not had menses for \>1 year
  * Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for \<2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
  * Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure, otherwise the patient must be willing to use an adequate birth control method throughout the study, starting with the screening visit through 150 days after the last dose of study treatment. See list of acceptable birth control methods. Information must be captured appropriately within the site's source documents. Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and preferred contraception for the patient.
* Participant must agree to not breastfeed during the study or for 150 days after the last dose of study treatment.
* Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined below. All screening labs should be performed within 14 days of treatment initiation.

  * Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL
  * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL
  * Creatinine Clearance GFR ≥ 45
  * Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN (patients with known Gilbert's disease Serum total bilirubin who have bilirubin level ≤ 3 x ULN may be enrolled)
  * AST and ALT 3 ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases
  * TSH within normal limits. If TSH is not within normal range despite no symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, normal free T4 level is required.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or investigational therapy for endometrial cancer.

  °Patients who have received prior chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other investigational therapies for other cancers and are in remission/cured may be included at the discretion of the treating investigator in consultation with the study PI.
* Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4 agent for endometrial cancer.

  * Has had radiation therapy encompassing \>20% of the bone marrow within 2 weeks; or any radiation therapy within 1 week prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy.
  * Patients with a prior history of pelvic radiation
  * Patients with a prior known history or current diagnosis of a vesicovaginal, enterovaginal, or colovaginal fistula.
  * Any hematological abnormality or disorder that would be a contraindication to radiation per the treating physician.
* Hypersensitivity to Dostarlimab or any of its excipients
* Patients with diagnosis of immunodeficiency or patients receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.
* Patients who have received acute, low dose, systemic immunosuppressant medications (e.g., dexamethasone containing antiemetic regimen or steroids as CT scan contrast premedication) may be enrolled.

  * The use of inhaled corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone) for patients with orthostatic hypotension or adrenocortical insufficiency is allowed.
  * Total systemic steroid dose cannot exceed an equivalent of 10mg of prednisone daily and dose must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy
* Has active TB (Bacillus tuberculosis)
* Has evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis.
* Has history of interstitial lung disease
* Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy with intravenous antibiotics
* Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating (within 90 days) myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, and superior vena cava syndrome.
* Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.
