A Study to Compare Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) in Combination With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Pembrolizumab Alone as Treatment in Participants With Mismatch Repair Proficient Endometrial Cancer (MK-2870-033/TroFuse-033/GOG-3119/ENGOT-en29)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent.

* EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) * pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells * Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery * Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery

Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells.

The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.

About this study

All participants undergo an initial Induction Phase of six cycles, each cycle consisting of pembrolizumab + carboplatin + paclitaxel or docetaxel. Each cycle is three weeks. Participants whose cancer does not progress enter the Maintenance Treatment Phase and are then randomly assigned to pembrolizumab + sac-TMT or pembrolizumab monotherapy. Participants whose cancer does progress will have the possibility to enter the Subsequent Treatment Phase and are then randomly assigned to pembrolizumab + sac-TMT or sac-TMT monotherapy.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key inclusion criteria include but are not limited to:

  • Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma that has been confirmed as proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)

Treatment and study plan

Pembrolizumab

Biological

Intravenous (IV) Infusion

carboplatin

Drug

During the Induction Phase, participants receive carboplatin AUC 5 (mg/mL/min) on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

paclitaxel

Drug

During the Induction Phase, participants receive paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

docetaxel

Drug

During the Induction Phase, participants may receive docetaxel (in place of paclitaxel) 75 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan

Biological

IV Infusion

Other names: sac-TMT, MK-2870, SKB264

Primary outcomes

  1. Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 44 months

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as evaluated by the blinded independent central review (BICR). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

  2. Maintenance Treatment: Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 54 months

    OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival 2 (PFS2) as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 54 months

    PFS2 is defined as the time from randomization to the documented subsequent objective disease progression after initiation of new anticancer therapy or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS2 as assessed by the investigator will be presented.

  2. Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 27 months

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

  3. Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

  4. Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life (Items 29 and 30) Mean Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item scale to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" are scored on a 7- point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better overall health status. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status/Quality of Life score (Items 29 and 30) will be presented.

  5. Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning (Items 1-5) Combined Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item scale to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The physical functioning score is based on participant responses to questions scored on a 4-point scale (1 = 'Not at All' to 4 = 'Very Much'). Higher scores indicate better physical functioning. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning (Items 1-5) combined score will be presented.

  6. Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Role Functioning (Items 6 and 7) Combined Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item scale to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The role functioning score is based on participant responses to questions scored on a 4-point scale (1 = 'Not at All' to 4 = 'Very Much'). Higher scores indicate better role functioning. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Role Functioning (Items 6 and 7) combined score will be presented.

  7. Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-EN24 Symptom Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

    The EORTC QLQ-EN24 is a 24-item questionnaire developed to be used in conjunction with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 to assess the quality of life of endometrial cancer patients. Participant responses are scored on a 4-point scale (1=not at all to 4=very much). A higher score reflects greater symptom severity. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-EN24 back and pelvis pain score will be presented.
