Abstract

Introduction/Background Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is caused by loss of expression of MMR proteins, MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and/or MSH6, that function as heterodimers (MLH1/PMS2 and MSH2/MSH6) to mediate DNA repair. Loss of function caused by mutation or epigenetic methylation leads to defective MMR and genomic instability. MMR deficient (dMMR) tumours can respond to anti-programmed death 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy. We report a post hoc analysis of objective response rate (ORR) with loss of MMR dimers and mutation status of MMR genes in patients with dMMR endometrial cancer (EC) treated with dostarlimab.

Methodology GARNET is a multicentre, open-label, single-arm phase 1 study. Cohort A1 enrolled patients with dMMR advanced/recurrent EC. Patients received 500 mg of dostarlimab intravenously Q3W for 4 cycles, then 1000 mg Q6W until disease progression, discontinuation, or withdrawal. MMR protein status (presence or loss) was determined by local immunohistochemistry. MMR gene mutation was determined by FoundationOne. MLH1 loss without MMR gene mutation was a surrogate indicator for epigenetic methylation.

Results Cohort A1 included 143 patients; MMR gene mutation data were available for 101 patients (table 1). Cohort A1 ORR was 45.5%. 66% of patients had loss of MLH1/PMS2; ORR was 48.9%. 11.2% of patients had loss of MSH2/MSH6; ORR was 56.2%. ORR was 41.7% for MLH1 loss with MMR gene mutation and 39.4% for MLH1 loss without MMR gene mutation.

Abstract 2022-RA-1198-ESGO Table 1

Conclusion Patients with dMMR advanced/recurrent EC benefitted from dostarlimab, with no noticeable difference by dimer-pair loss or MMR gene methylation/mutation status. These data suggest the route to MMR deficiency does not influence response to dostarlimab.
