Mirvetuximab Soravtansine and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Microsatellite Stable Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how well mirvetuximab soravtansine and pembrolizumab work in treating patients with microsatellite stable endometrial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) or has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate, a type of agent attaches a chemotherapy drug to a molecule that binds to a protein on the outside of cancer cells. The protein targeted by mirvetuximab soravtansine is called folate receptor-alpha (FRalpha). FRalpha is expressed on the surface of certain cancers, including endometrial cancer cells. Mirvetuximab soravtansine may help to kill cancer cells by delivering chemotherapy drugs to cells that have high levels of FRalpha and may also activate immune cells and improving the response to immunotherapies like pembrolizumab. Giving mirvetuximab soravtansine and pembrolizumab may shrink or prevent the growth of endometrial cancers compared to giving pembrolizumab alone.
