About

This phase II trial tests how well niraparib and dostarlimab work in treating patients with uterine serous carcinoma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (recurrent) and remains despite treatment (persistent). Niraparib belongs to a class of drugs called PARP inhibitors that prevent cancer cells from growing. Dostarlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Dostarlimab belongs to a class of drugs called PD-1 inhibitors that uses the patient's own immune system to treat cancer (immuno-therapy). Giving niraparib and dostarlimab may work better in treating patients with uterine serous carcinoma.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the efficacy, as measured by confirmed overall response rate (ORR) (partial and complete response, PR/CR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version [v]1.1) based on investigator assessment of the combination niraparib and dostarlimab in patients with recurrent or persistent uterine serous carcinoma (USC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Estimate the progression-free survival (PFS). II. Estimate clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD).

III. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of niraparib and dostarlimab combination.

TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVE:

I. Biomarker evaluation to predict response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dostarlimab intravenously (IV) and niraparib orally (PO) on study. Patients also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/computed tomography (CT) and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter.

Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 1
Participant must be >= 18 years of age
Patient has archival tumor tissue available or a fresh biopsy of recurrent or persistent tumor must be obtained prior to study treatment initiation
Patient must have measurable disease by RECIST
No more than three prior chemotherapy regimens (does not include chemoradiation) are permitted. One of the previous lines of treatment must include carboplatin and paclitaxel
Prior PD1/PDL1 inhibitors (including single-agent pembrolizumab, other immunotherapy agents, or combination pembrolizumab and lenvatinib) therapy will be allowed if the patient did not have immune associated toxicity leading to discontinuation.
- Patients who have progressed on prior PD1/PDL1 inhibitors may be allowed to participate if the study PI and treating physician deem it to be within the patient's best interest.
Prior chemoradiation therapy for adjuvant treatment or pelvic recurrence is permitted. Chemotherapy in this setting, is not counted as prior line of chemotherapy
Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/uL
Platelets >= 100,000/uL
Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL
Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN (=< 2.0 in patients with known Gilberts syndrome) OR direct bilirubin =< 1 x ULN
Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase =< 2.5 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case they must be =< 5 x ULN
International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) =< 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or partial thromboplastin (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
Participant receiving corticosteroids may continue as long as their dose is stable for least 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy and dose < 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent
Participant must be able to take oral medications
Participant must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 120 days after the last dose of study treatment
If of childbearing potential, has a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to taking study medication and agrees to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from enrollment through 180 days (6 months) after the last dose of study treatment or be of non-childbearing potential. Non childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):
- >= 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 1 year
- Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
- Surgically sterile as defined as post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure, otherwise the patient must be willing to use 2 adequate barrier methods throughout the study, starting with the screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment. Information must be captured appropriately within the site's source documents. Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and preferred contraception for the patient
Participant must agree to not breastfeed during the study or for 120 days after the last dose of study treatment
Participant must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent
