Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advanced and recurrent endometrial carcinoma remains a difficult diagnosis to treat due to the limited and ineffective available treatment options following platinum and taxane chemotherapy. Patients who are microsatellite stable (MSS) or mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) have even poorer outcomes with fewer effective therapies. Fortunately, recent Phase Ib/II and Phase III trials have demonstrated that combination pembrolizumab and lenvatinib resulted in improved ORR, PFS and OS than currently used therapies in this setting. AREAS COVERED In this article, we review the history and notable clinical trials responsible for the advancement and status of treatment options available for advanced endometrial cancer. Most importantly, we review the recently published data on the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the combination pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer. EXPERT OPINION The combination pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is an effective treatment regimen for patients with advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer who are MSS or pMMR who have failed prior platinum-based treatment. This combination should be routinely offered to patients following progression or recurrence of systemic platinum and taxane chemotherapy. Although this regimen is safe and effective, clinicians should be aware of the known toxicities and assess patients regularly to determine if dose modifications or interruptions are indicated.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence has increased in recent decades. However, population-based outcomes data are limited. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes, including time to next treatment (TNNT) and overall survival (OS), among advanced/recurrent (A/R) EC patients between 2010 and 2018 in Alberta, Canada. Kaplan-Meier statistics evaluated TTNT and OS, stratified by patient (A/R) and treatment. A total of 1053 patients were included: 620 (58.9%) advanced and 433 (41.1%) recurrent. A total of 713 (67.7%) patients received first-line therapy: 466 (75.2%) advanced and 247 (57.0%) recurrent. Platinum-based chemotherapy (PBCT) was the most common first-line regimen (overall: 78.6%; advanced: 96.1%; recurrent: 45.3%). The median TTNT and OS from first-line therapy were 19.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 17.5-23.5) and 35.9 months (95% CI: 31.5-53.5), respectively. Following first-line PBCT, the median OS from second-line chemotherapy (N = 187) was 10.4 months (95% CI: 8.9-13.3) and higher for those rechallenged with PBCT (N = 72; 38.5%) versus no rechallenge (N = 115; 61.5%) (13.3 months [95% CI: 11.2-20.9] vs. 6.4 months [95% CI: 4.6-10.4; p < 0.001]). The findings highlight poor outcomes in A/R EC, particularly following first-line therapy, and that additional tolerable therapeutic options are needed to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Around 15% of metastatic endometrial carcinoma (EC) are MMRd/MSI-H improving response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). So far, few data existed considering the chemotherapy (CT) sensitivity in MMRd/MSI-H EC, especially response to first-line platinum-based treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a multicentric retrospective analysis reporting the response to first line platinum CT in MMRd/MSI-H EC patients. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) with first line platinum-based CT. RESULTS A total of 112 patients MMRd/MSI-H EC from 8 centers were identified. Median overall survival was 58.0 months (95% CI: 45.3-95.1). Among them, 78 patients received first line platinum CT in recurrent/metastatic setting. With a median follow up of 32.6 months (min: 0.03; max: 135.0), ORR and DCR (disease control rate) were 50% (95% CI: 38.5-61.5) and 68% (95% CI: 56.4-78.1), respectively. Median PFS and OS from first line platinum-based CT was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.0-9.0) and 51.9 months (95% CI: 28.0-NE), respectively. Median PFS with ICI in second line (n = 48) was 10.7 months (95% CI: 3.4-NE) from ICI initiation. CONCLUSION ORR in first line metastatic MMRd/MSI-H EC is consistent with efficacy in an all comer metastatic EC population.

Gynecol Oncol 2022; 167:540-546. [PMID: 36280455 PMCID: PMC10373231 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.10.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Endometrial cancer incidence and mortality are rising among all ethnic groups. Carboplatin plus paclitaxel is the established frontline treatment for advanced/recurrent disease; however, subsequent treatment with traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy is challenging. The molecular characterization of endometrial cancer has provided important insights into the biological drivers of carcinogenesis, which has allowed for the development of newer precision immunotherapies and targeted therapies, including pembrolizumab, dostarlimab, and lenvatinib. Until recently, platinum rechallenge was often considered at the time of recurrence, given the lack of other available therapeutic options; however, "platinum sensitivity" in endometrial cancer is subjective and largely based on expert opinion and/or practitioner experience. Small retrospective studies have tried to provide guidance on the utility of platinum rechallenge, but they are limited by variable patient characteristics and small sample sizes. The applicability of these retrospective studies to contemporary clinical practice is difficult in the setting of changing patient demographics, a better understanding of endometrial cancer drivers, and the recent approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitors and the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in the second-line setting. The primary focus of this review is to distill the available data regarding platinum-doublet chemotherapy rechallenge and highlight recent pivotal developments in endometrial cancer treatment, as well as future directions.

Pre-treatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with improved overall survival in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer treated with immunotherapy. Gynecol Oncol 2022; 166:522-529. [PMID: 35907683 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association of pre-treatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients with recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) treated with immunotherapy. METHODS Recurrent EC patients treated with immunotherapy alone or in combination from 2016 to 2021 were included. Demographics, pre-treatment laboratory results, pathologic data, response at first radiographic assessment, and cancer outcomes were obtained from the medical record. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to compare PFS and OS stratified by NLR. RESULTS The 106 patients included in the study were stratified by NLR <6 (n = 77, 72.6%) or NLR ≥6 (n = 29, 27.3%). Most had endometrioid pathology (59%), widely metastatic disease, and 36.8% had received ≥2 treatment lines before initiating immunotherapy. Mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) was noted in 52 (49.1%) tumors. Most dMMR patients (94.3%) were treated with single-agent pembrolizumab, and most MMR proficient patients (78.7%) were treated with lenvatinb plus pembrolizumab. In the overall cohort, 40.2% (partial response (PR) 29.9%, complete response (CR) 10.4%) of patients with a NLR <6 responded at first radiographic assessment, compared to 31% (PR 27.5%, CR 3.4%) of patients with NLR ≥6 (p 0.691). Kaplan-Meier curves stratified by NLR <6 vs. ≥6 showed no difference in PFS. However, NLR <6 was associated with improved OS (p < 0.05). In the NLR < 6 group, the probability of survival at one year was 69% (95% CI: 58%, 82%), compared to 41% (95% CI: 26%, 67%) for the NLR > 6 group. CONCLUSIONS Pre-treatment NLR <6 was associated with improved OS for recurrent EC patients treated with immunotherapy. NLR holds promise as a predictive biomarker for survival after immunotherapy treatment for patients with recurrent EC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In patients with recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer who have progressed after first-line treatment, there are a lack of real-world data on treatment patterns, characteristics, and survival outcomes. A novel study was conducted to determine real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in England. METHODS This non-interventional study used routine, administrative health data from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service in England to identify patients diagnosed with recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2018, inclusive. A cohort of patients who progressed to second-line treatment were identified as the 'immune checkpoint inhibitor-eligible second-line' cohort. The co-primary objectives were to summarise baseline demographics, disease characteristics, treatments received, and depict overall survival and time-to-next-treatment (a proxy for progression-free survival) from the start of second-line therapy using Kaplan-Meier methodology. RESULTS Overall, 12,058 patients were diagnosed with recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer; 999 patients were included in the immune checkpoint inhibitor-eligible second-line cohort and 77.9% (778 of 999) had advanced disease (Stage III/IV). The most common treatments received at second-line were carboplatin plus paclitaxel (27.9%), carboplatin plus liposomal doxorubicin (14.1%), liposomal doxorubicin monotherapy (13.0%), and paclitaxel monotherapy (11.6%). From initiation of second-line therapy, median (95% confidence interval) overall survival was 10.3 months (9.2-11.1), and median time-to-next-treatment was 7.7 months (7.1-8.2). CONCLUSIONS Treatments received in the relapsed setting were variable and survival outcomes poor at second-line, highlighting the need for standard of care guidance and innovative therapies to improve patient outcomes in England and in countries with similar treatment patterns.

Abstract
Patients with metastatic or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) not suitable for surgery and/or radiotherapy are candidates for pharmacological treatment frequently with unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. The purpose of this paper was to review the results obtained with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors in this clinical setting. The combination of carboplatin (CBDCA) + paclitaxel (PTX) is the standard first-line chemotherapy capable of achieving objective response rates (ORRs) of 43-62%, a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.3-15 months and a median overall survival (OS) of 13.2-37.0 months, respectively, whereas hormonal therapy is sometimes used in selected patients with slow-growing steroid receptor-positive EC. The combination of endocrine therapy with m-TOR inhibitors or cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors is currently under evaluation. Disappointing ORRs have been associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, HER-2 inhibitors and multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors used as single agents, and clinical trials evaluating the addition of bevacizumab to CBDCA + PTX have reported conflicting results. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, and especially pembrolizumab and dostarlimab, have achieved an objective response in 27-47% of highly pretreated patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient (-d) EC. In a recent study, the combination of lenvatinib + pembrolizumab produced a 24-week response rate of 38% in patients with highly pretreated EC, ranging from 64% in patients with MSI-H/MMR-d to 36% in those with microsatellite stable/MMR-proficient tumors. Four trials are currently investigating the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to PTX + CBDCA in primary advanced or recurrent EC, and two trials are comparing pembrolizumab + lenvatinib versus either CBDCA + PTX as a first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent EC or versus single-agent chemotherapy in advanced, recurrent or metastatic EC after one prior platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the factors that determine survival after extrapelvic recurrence in patients with endometrioid type endometrial cancer (EC).objective MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinicopathological and survival data of surgically treated endometrioid type EC patients who recurred outside pelvis were reviewed. Patients who had non-endometrioid tumor, sarcomatous component in the final pathology and synchronous tumor were excluded. The period from surgery to recurrence was defined as time to recurrence (TTR) and the period from recurrence to death or last visit was defined as post-recurrence survival (PRS). RESULTS Sixty-six patients with extrapelvic recurrence were included in the study. No residual disease was achieved in all patients at initial surgery. Median TTR was 18 months (range, 2-84). Recurrence developed within 1 year in 24 (36.4%) patients and between 13 and 24 months in 22 (33.3%) patients. Fifty-three of 66 patients (80.3%) had extraabdominal recurrence. The 2-year PRS of the all cohort with extrapelvic recurrence was 56%. In the univariate analysis, advanced FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, adnexal metastasis and short TTR were associated with diminished PRS (p < 0.05). The salvage chemotherapy for recurrence had a tendency to be associated with improved PRS in the univariate analysis. Two-year survival was 81% and 37% in the patients who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, respectively (p = 0.057). CONCLUSION Almost half of the patients with extrapelvic recurrence died of disease within 2 years. Chemotherapy seemed to be more effective than radiotherapy as the salvage therapy of extrapelvic recurrences.

Abstract
Objective Second-line treatment of endometrial cancer is an unmet medical need. We conducted a phase I study evaluating lurbinectedin and doxorubicin intravenously every 3 weeks in patients with solid tumors. The aim of this study was to characterise the efficacy and safety of lurbinectedin and doxorubicin for patients with endometrial cancer. Methods Thirty-four patients were treated: 15 patients in the escalation phase (doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 and lurbinectedin 3.0–5.0 mg) and 19 patients in the expansion cohort (doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 and lurbinectedin 2.0 mg/m2). All histological subtypes were eligible and patients had received one to two prior lines of chemotherapy for advanced disease. Antitumor activity was evaluated every two cycles according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4. Results Median age (range) was 65 (51–78) years. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was up to 1 in 97% of patients. In the escalation phase, 4 (26.7%) of 15 patients had confirmed response: two complete and two partial responses (95% CI 7.8% to 55.1%). Median duration of response was 19.5 months. Median progression-free survival was 7.3 (2.5 to 10.1) months. In the expansion cohort, confirmed partial response was reported in 8 (42.1%) of 19 patients (95% CI 20.3% to 66.5%). Median duration of response was 7.5 (6.4 to not reached) months, median progression-free survival was 7.7 (2.0 to 16.7) months and median overall survival was 14.2 (4.5 to not reached) months. Fatigue (26.3% of patients), and transient and reversible myelosuppression (neutropenia, 78.9%; febrile neutropenia, 21.1%; thrombocytopenia, 15.8%) were the main grade 3 and higher toxicities in the expanded cohort. Conclusions In patients with recurrent advanced endometrial cancer treated with doxorubicin and lurbinectedin, response rates (42%) and duration of response (7.5 months) were favorable. Further evaluation of doxorubicin and lurbinectedin is warranted in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the cost-effectiveness of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab (LP) in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS), recurrent, pretreated endometrial cancer (EC). METHODS A decision analysis model was created to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of LP relative to doxorubicin, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), and bevacizumab in patients with recurrent pretreated MSS EC. Published data was used to estimate quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and drug cost estimates were obtained using average wholesale prices. A health state utility (HSU) penalty of -0.10 was applied to the LP group to account for treatment toxicity. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated to determine cost/QALY. The willingness to pay threshold (WTP) was set at $100,000 per QALY saved. Sensitivity analyses were performed on cost, effectiveness, and HSU penalty for LP. RESULTS Costs of treatment with doxorubicin, PLD, and bevacizumab are $23.7 million (M), $56.9 M, and $250.8 M respectively. Cost of treatment with LP is $1.8 billion. Relative to doxorubicin, the ICERs for PLD, bevacizumab, and LP are $56,808, $345,824, and $1.6 M respectively. A sensitivity analysis varying the cost of LP shows that if the combined drug cost decreases from over $58,000 to less than $11,000 per cycle, this strategy would be cost-effective. Eliminating the HSU penalty for LP decreased the ICER $1.0 M while increasing the penalty to -0.20 increased the ICER to $3.7 M. CONCLUSIONS LP is not cost-effective in patients with recurrent pretreated, MSS EC. A dramatic reduction in cost of LP is required for this novel strategy to be cost-effective.

Abstract
AIMS There is limited published evidence for the cost-effectiveness of treatments for unresectable or metastatic endometrial cancer (mEC). The objective of this analysis was to assess the cost-effectiveness of pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy for previously treated unresectable or mEC, in women whose tumors have deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). The analysis was carried out from a US healthcare payer perspective. MATERIALS AND METHODS A lifetime partitioned survival model comprising three health states (progression-free, progressed disease and death) was constructed. Chemotherapy was represented by single-agent paclitaxel or doxorubicin. Overall survival, progression-free survival and time on treatment data for pembrolizumab were obtained from a Phase II clinical study that included women with previously treated dMMR/MSI-H unresectable or mEC (KEYNOTE-158, NCT02628067). Survival data for chemotherapy were obtained from a published Phase III study for previously treated advanced endometrial cancer. Costs included were drug acquisition and administration, health-state, end-of-life, and adverse event management. Costs were presented in 2019 US$. Outcomes were calculated as quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), using EQ-5D data from KEYNOTE-158. Model results were tested extensively in deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. RESULTS Results demonstrated that pembrolizumab is a highly cost-effective treatment option when compared with chemotherapy, with estimated deterministic and probabilistic incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of $58,165 and $57,668 per QALY gained, respectively. Pembrolizumab was associated with a large QALY and life-year gain per person versus chemotherapy over the model time horizon (deterministic 4.68 life year gain, 3.80 QALYs), with the majority of QALYs accrued in the progression-free health state. LIMITATIONS The key limitation of the analysis was the lack of comparative effectiveness data for pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Pembrolizumab is a highly cost-effective treatment option when compared with chemotherapy for women with previously treated dMMR/MSI-H unresectable or mEC. Results were robust to the changes in parameters and assumptions explored.

Abstract
Question What is the clinical antitumor activity and safety of dostarlimab for patients with deficient mismatch repair endometrial cancer? Findings In this nonrandomized phase 1 clinical trial, the confirmed objective response rate was 42%; 13% of patients had a confirmed complete response, and 30% of patients had a confirmed partial response. Anemia (3%), colitis (2%), and diarrhea (2%) were the most common grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events. Meaning Dostarlimab was associated with clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity with an acceptable safety profile for patients with deficient mismatch repair endometrial cancers that have progressed after prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Importance Deficient mismatch mutation repair mechanisms may sensitize endometrial cancers to anti–programmed death 1 (PD-1) therapies. Dostarlimab (TSR-042) is an investigational anti–PD-1 antibody that binds with high affinity to the PD-1 receptor. Objective To assess the antitumor activity and safety of dostarlimab for patients with deficient mismatch repair endometrial cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This ongoing, open-label, single-group, multicenter study began part 1 on March 7, 2016, and began enrolling patients with deficient mismatch mutation repair endometrial cancer on May 8, 2017. Median follow-up was 11.2 months (range, 0.03 [ongoing] to 22.11 [ongoing] months; based on radiological assessments). Statistical analysis was performed July 8 to August 9, 2019. Interventions Patients received 500 mg of dostarlimab intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then 1000 mg every 6 weeks until disease progression, treatment discontinuation, or withdrawal. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was objective response rate and duration of response by blinded independent central review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. Results As of the data cutoff, 104 women (median age, 64.0 years [range, 38-80 years]) with deficient mismatch mutation repair endometrial cancers were enrolled and treated with dostarlimab. Of these, 71 had measurable disease at baseline and at 6 months or more of follow-up and were included in the analysis. There was a confirmed response in 30 patients (objective response rate, 42.3%; 95% CI, 30.6%-54.6%); 9 patients (12.7%) had a confirmed complete response, and 21 patients (29.6%) had a confirmed partial response. Responses were durable; the median duration of response was not reached (median follow-up was 11.2 months). The estimated likelihood of maintaining a response was 96.4% at 6 months and 76.8% at 12 months. Anemia (3 of 104 [2.9%]), colitis (2 of 104 [1.9%]), and diarrhea (2 of 104 [1.9%]) were the most common grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events. Conclusions and Relevance In this nonrandomized trial, dostarlimab was associated with clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity with an acceptable safety profile for patients with deficient mismatch mutation repair endometrial cancers after prior platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relevance of the MET/hepatocyte growth factor pathway in endometrial cancer tumor biology supports the clinical evaluation of cabozantinib in this disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS PHL86/NCI#9322 (NCT01935934) is a single arm study that evaluated cabozantinib (60 mg once daily) in women with endometrial cancer with progression after chemotherapy. Coprimary endpoints were response rate and 12-week progression-free-survival (PFS). Patients with uncommon histology endometrial cancer (eg, carcinosarcoma and clear cell) were enrolled in a parallel exploratory cohort. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were accrued. Among 36 endometrioid histology patients, response rate was 14%, 12-week PFS rate was 67%, and median PFS was 4.8 months. In serous cohort of 34 patients, response rate was 12%, 12-week PFS was 56%, and median PFS was 4.0 months. In a separate cohort of 32 patients with uncommon histology endometrial cancer (including carcinosarcoma), response rate was 6% and 12-week PFS was 47%. Six patients were on treatment for >12 months, including two for >30 months. Common cabozantinib-related toxicities (>30% patients) included hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and hand-foot syndrome. Gastrointestinal fistula/perforation occurred in four of 70 (6%) patients with serous/endometrioid cancer and five of 32 (16%) patients in exploratory cohort. We observed increased frequency of responses with somatic CTNNB1 mutation [four partial responses (PRs) in 10 patients, median PFS 7.6 months] and concurrent KRAS and PTEN/PIK3CA mutations (three PRs in 12 patients, median PFS 5.9 months). CONCLUSIONS Cabozantinib has activity in serous and endometrioid histology endometrial cancer. These results support further evaluation in genomically characterized patient cohorts.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States, and its incidence is rising. Although there have been significant recent advances in our understanding of endometrial cancer biology, many aspects of treatment remain mired in controversy, including the role of surgical lymph node assessment and the selection of patients for adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy. For the subset of women with microsatellite-instable, metastatic disease, anti- programmed cell death protein 1 immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) is now approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and numerous trials are attempting to build on this early success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3, and other receptor tyrosine kinases. Pembrolizumab, an antibody targeting PD-1, has moderate efficacy in biomarker-unselected endometrial cancer. We aimed to assess the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma, after establishing the maximum tolerated dose in a phase 1b study. METHODS In this open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study done at 11 centres in the USA, eligible patients were aged 18 years or older and had metastatic endometrial cancer (unselected for microsatellite instability or PD-L1), had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, had received no more than two previous systemic therapies, had measurable disease according to the immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (irRECIST), and had a life expectancy of 12 weeks or longer. Patients received 20 mg oral lenvatinib daily plus 200 mg intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. Treatment continued until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint of this interim analysis was the proportion of patients with an objective response at week 24 as assessed by investigators according to irRECIST in the per-protocol population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02501096. FINDINGS Between Sept 10, 2015, and July 24, 2017, 54 patients were enrolled, 53 of whom were included in the analysis. At the cutoff date for anti-tumour activity data (Dec 15, 2017), median study follow-up was 13·3 months (IQR 6·7-20·1). 21 (39·6% [95% CI 26·5-54·0]) patients had an objective response at week 24. Serious treatment-related adverse events occurred in 16 (30%) patients, and one treatment-related death was reported (intracranial haemorrhage). The most frequently reported any-grade treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (31 [58%]), fatigue (29 [55%]), diarrhoea (27 [51%]), and hypothyroidism (25 [47%]). The most common grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (18 [34%]) and diarrhoea (four [8%]). No grade 4 treatment-related adverse events were reported. Five (9%) patients discontinued study treatment because of treatment-related adverse events. INTERPRETATION Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab showed anti-tumour activity in patients with advanced recurrent endometrial cancer with a safety profile that was similar to those previously reported for lenvatinib and pembrolizumab monotherapies, apart from an increased frequency of hypothyroidism. Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab could represent a new potential treatment option for this patient population, and is being investigated in a randomised phase 3 study. FUNDING Eisai and Merck.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the targeted therapy of estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) in endometrial cancer (EC) cells and its potential mechanisms. Methods The mRNA and protein expression levels of ERRα and estrogen receptor α (ERα) were detected by qPCR and Western blotting in RL-952, AN3-CA, HEC-1A, and HEC-1B EC cell lines. After treatment with the ERRα-specific antagonist XCT790 or infection with lentivirus-mediated small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the ERRα (siRNA-ERRα), cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by MTS assay and flow cytometry. After treatment with siRNA-ERRα, the expression profiles of transcription factors (TFs) were analyzed by protein/DNA arrays in EC cells. Results The relative mRNA levels of ERRa in RL-952 (1±0.0831) and AN3-CA (1.162±0.0325) were significantly higher than those in HEC-1A (0.3081±0.0339) and HEC-1B (0.1119±0.0091) (P<0.05), and similar results were observed for ERRα protein levels. A higher ratio of ERa/ERRa was observed in ERα-positive RL-952 (10-fold) and ANC-3A (8.5-fold) cells, whereas a lower ratio was observed in ERα-negative HEC-1A (3.75-fold) and HEC-1B cells (0-fold). Both – exogenous XCT790 and endogenous siRNA-ERRα – can decrease the expression of ERRα, thereby inhibiting proliferation but promoting apoptosis in both ERα-positive and -negative EC cells. The XCT790 presented higher proliferation-inhibition and apoptosis rates in the ERα-positive than ERα-negative cells, whereas the siRNA-ERRα exhibited higher proliferation-inhibition and apoptosis rates in the ERα-negative than in ERα-positive cells. In total, 3 upregulated and 17 downregulated TFs were screened out by knocked-down expression of ERRα in all EC cells. Among them, the upregulated TFs organic cation transporter 3/4(Oct3/4), hepatic nuclear factor 4 (HNF4), HNF4 and chicken ovalbumin upstream TF (COUP-TF) as well as downregulated transcription factor EB (TFEB) were found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Targeting ERRα provides a promising novel endocrine therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the developed world, and its incidence is increasing. Mortality from this cancer has not improved in recent decades and is primarily driven by high-grade carcinomas that are more likely to present at an advanced stage and ultimately are more likely to recur. The prognosis for recurrent endometrial cancer is poor, especially for the 50% of these women that present with extrapelvic disease recurrence. As a standard of care, recurrent disease has been treated with platinum-based chemotherapy; however, new therapies are emerging as we identify drivers of proliferation and metastasis at the cellular and molecular levels. Areas Covered: We review currently available data for the management of recurrent endometrial cancer, with a focus on systemic treatment of recurrent disease. We discuss the available evidence for first-line, second-line, and subsequent systemic therapy and discuss emerging therapeutic targets including their biologic plausibility and early clinical data. Expert Commentary: Endometrial cancer, though prevalent, remains underfunded and understudied. Recurrent and metastatic disease remains difficult to treat, and prospective randomized data are limited. Our ability to reduce mortality due to this cancer is dependent on identifying new and effective therapeutic strategies for recurrent disease.

Efficacy of doxorubicin after progression on carboplatin and paclitaxel in advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: a retrospective analysis of patients treated at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA). Med Oncol 2018; 35:20.

Abstract
The treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) is challenging. There is no standard of care for patients who progressed after carboplatin and paclitaxel (CT) and all available drugs show a small response and poor long-term survival in this scenario. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity profile of palliative doxorubicin after progression to CT therapy in advanced or recurrent EC. A retrospective review of the Brazilian National Cancer Institute database between 2009 and 2013 was performed, and all patients with recurrent and advanced EC treated with palliative doxorubicin after progression on CT were included. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rates as well as toxicity were evaluated. A total of 33 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 65.7 years. Objective responses were documented in 12.1% (3.0% of complete responses and 9.1% of partial responses). The median PFS was 4.4 months, and the median OS was 8.1 months for patients exposed to doxorubicin. The most common adverse event was anemia observed in 60.6% of patients. This retrospective study suggests that doxorubicin has a modest activity in patients with advanced or recurrent EC after treatment with CT.

Abstract
The first joint European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) and European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) consensus conference on endometrial cancer was held on 11-13 December 2014 in Milan, Italy, and comprised a multidisciplinary panel of 40 leading experts in the management of endometrial cancer. Before the conference, the expert panel prepared three clinically-relevant questions about endometrial cancer relating to the following four areas: prevention and screening, surgery, adjuvant treatment and advanced and recurrent disease. All relevant scientific literature, as identified by the experts, was reviewed in advance. During the consensus conference, the panel developed recommendations for each specific question and a consensus was reached. Results of this consensus conference, together with a summary of evidence supporting each recommendation, are detailed in this article. All participants have approved this final article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Activating FGFR2 mutations are found in 10-16% of primary endometrial cancers and provide an opportunity for targeted therapy. We assessed the safety and activity of dovitinib, a potent tyrosine-kinase inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors, VEGF receptors, PDGFR-β, and c-KIT, as second-line therapy both in patients with FGFR2-mutated (FGFR2(mut)) endometrial cancer and in those with FGFR2-non-mutated (FGFR2(non-mut)) endometrial cancer. METHODS In this phase 2, non-randomised, two-group, two-stage study, we enrolled adult women who had progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer from 46 clinical sites in seven countries. We grouped women according to FGFR2 mutation status and gave all women dovitinib (500 mg per day, orally, on a 5-days-on and 2-days-off schedule) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or study discontinuation for any other reason. The primary endpoint was proportion of patients in each group who were progression-free at 18 weeks. For each group, the second stage of the trial (enrolment of 20 additional patients) could proceed if at least eight of the first 20 treated patients were progression free at 18 weeks. Activity was assessed in all enrolled patients and safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of dovitinib. The completed study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01379534. FINDINGS Of 248 patients with FGFR2 prescreening results, 27 (11%) had FGFR2(mut) endometrial cancer. Between Feb 17, 2012, and Dec 13, 2013, we enrolled 22 patients in the FGFR2(mut) group and 31 patients in the FGFR2(non-mut) group. Seven (31·8%, 95% CI 13·9-54·9) patients in the FGFR2(mut) group and nine (29·0%, 14·2-48·0) in the FGFR2(non-mut) group were progression-free at 18 weeks. On the basis of predefined criteria, neither group continued to stage two: seven (35%) of the first 20 patients in the FGFR2(mut) group were progression free at 18 weeks, as were five (25%) of the first 20 in the FGFR2(mut) population. Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events were similar between groups and events were most frequently gastrointestinal. Overall, the most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events suspected to be related to the study drug were hypertension (nine patients; 17%) and diarrhoea (five; 9%). The most frequently reported serious adverse events suspected to be related to study drug were pulmonary embolism (four patients; 8%), vomiting (four; 8%), dehydration (three; 6%), and diarrhoea (three; 6%). Only one death was deemed to be treatment-related: one patient in the FGFR2(non-mut) group died from cardiac arrest with contributing reason of pulmonary embolism (grade 4, suspected to be study drug related) 4 days previously. INTERPRETATION Second-line dovitinib in FGFR2(mut) and FGFR2(non-mut) advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer had single-agent activity, although it did not reach the prespecified study criteria. Observed treatment effects seemed independent of FGFR2 mutation status. These data should be considered exploratory and additional studies are needed. FUNDING Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
