Dostarlimab before Chemoradiotherapy and Surgery for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Mismatch Repair Deficiency or Microsatellite Instability Solid Tumors and Stage I-II Endometrial Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well dostarlimab (TSR-042) before standard chemoradiotherapy and surgery works in treating patients with mismatch repair deficiency or microsatellite instability solid tumors that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or stage I-II endometrial cancer. Dostarlimab is a type of medication called an antibody, which is a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from harm. Dostarlimab blocks another protein (programmed cell death receptor-1, or PD-1) that usually acts as a “brake” on the immune system. Blocking this protein is like releasing the brakes, so that the immune system can target tumor cells and kill them.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts.
COHORT 1 (RECTAL CANCER): Patients receive dostarlimab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 4-8 weeks after completion of dostarlimab, patients who do not have a complete clinical response at 6 months receive standard of care capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) or fluorouracil IV continuously for 5 days per week, and concurrently undergo standard of care intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 5 days per week for 5.5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 4 weeks, patients who do not have complete clinical response undergo standard of care surgery 6-12 weeks after completion of chemoradiation. Patients also undergo biopsy, biospecimen collection, positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
COHORT 2 (SOLID TUMORS): Patients receive dostarlimab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of dostarlimab patients who do not have complete clinical response undergo chemoradiation or surgery per standard of care. After completion of chemoradiation, patients may either undergo non-operative follow up or undergo surgical resection. Patients also undergo biopsy, biospecimen collection, PET/CT and MRI throughout the study.
COHORT 3 (ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA): Patients receive dostarlimab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo MRI at baseline, 3 months, 6 months after completion of treatment. Patients with residual disease after 6 months may undergo standard of care hysterectomy. Patients also undergo biospecimen collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years
