Chemoradiotherapy followed by Chemotherapy and Dostarlimab for the Treatment of Stage IIIC Endometrial Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of cisplatin given with radiation therapy (chemoradiotherapy) along with dostarlimab followed by paclitaxel and carboplatin (chemotherapy) and dostarlimab to determine how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIC endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. Patients diagnosed at a later stage have a higher risk of the cancer spreading or getting worse or coming back after treatment. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy (RT) uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as dostarlimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cisplatin with radiation and dostarlimab followed by paclitaxel, carboplatin and dostarlimab may be a safe and tolerable treatment that could kill more tumor cells and improve survival in patients with stage IIIC endometrial cancer.
