Cabozantinib plus Dostarlimab for Treatment of Recurrent Gynecologic Cancer
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety and how well cabozantinib and dostarlimab works in treating patients with a specific gynecologic cancer, carcinosarcoma, that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Dostarlimab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking the action of a certain protein in tumor cells. This helps the person's immune system to fight against the tumor cells, and helps to slow tumor growth. Giving cabozantinib and dostarlimab may work better in treating patients with recurrent gynecologic cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To estimate the proportion of patients with recurrent carcinosarcoma—who survive progression-free for at least 6 months from the start of treatment—treated with cabozantinib + dostarlimab in the second line setting and beyond (per immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [iRECIST]).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate time to progression.
II. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of cabozantinib + dostarlimab in this cohort of patients.
III. To estimate the overall response rate (ORR) of patients with carcinosarcoma treated with cabozantinib + dostarlimab.
IV. To estimate the overall survival (OS) of patients with carcinosarcoma treated with cabozantinib + dostarlimab.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine expression of biomarkers, which will include PD-L1 and MET expression by
immunohistochemistry (IHC), microsatellite instability (MSI) status by next generation sequencing (NGS), and other relevant potential biomarkers.
II. To determine whether these marker expression levels alone or in combination are associated with response, progression free survival (PFS), and/or overall survival.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive cabozantinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) and dostarlimab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then recieve cabozantinib PO QD and dostarlimab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles for dostarlimab repeat every 42 days for 2 years and cycles for cabozantinib repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression and disease toxicity. Patient also undergo computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and collection of blood samples during screening and on study. Patients may also undergo a biopsy during screening.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30-40 days and then every 2 months for the first 6 months and every 3 months for 3 years.
