Abstract
Introduction/Background In the Phase III randomised, double-blind, multicentre RUBY study (NCT03981796), dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel (dostarlimab+CP) resulted in significant improvement in progression-free survival versus CP alone in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (AR EC). This post-hoc survival analysis explored quality-adjusted time without symptoms of disease or toxicity (Q-TWiST) in RUBY part 1.
Methodology Patients (N=494) were randomised 1:1 to receive dostarlimab+CP or placebo + CP every 3 weeks (Q3W) ≥6 cycles, then dostarlimab or placebo Q6W ≤3 years. Q-TWiST was calculated based on the safety population (patients receiving any amount of study drug; N=486) as the sum product of mean survival time (months; restricted to study follow-up time) in three mutually exclusive states and each state’s corresponding quality of life (EQ-5D-5L). States were time without symptoms of progression or toxicity (TWiST), toxicity (time from randomisation to progression during which patients experienced Grade ≥3 adverse events), and relapse (time from progression to any-cause death).
Results Overall, median follow-up duration was 20.5 months. For mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) patients, restricted mean Q-TWiST was significantly (P<0.001*) longer in the dostarlimab+CP versus CP group (difference: 5.4 months; actual restricted mean: 22.7 versus 17.2 months, respectively). Q-TWiST was also significantly (P<0.001*) longer in the dostarlimab+CP versus CP group for MMR-proficient/microsatellite-stable (MMRp/MSS) patients (difference: 2.6 months; actual restricted mean: 22.6 vs 20.1 months, respectively) (table 1). These results demonstrate clinically important improvements in Q-TWiST for the dostarlimab+CP versus CP group in both MMRp/MSS and dMMR/MSI-H populations; mean survival gains were 2.6 and 5.4 months, respectively. Similar outcomes were observed with Grade ≥2 AEs included in toxicity definition.
Conclusion In patients with AR EC, dostarlimab+CP had significantly longer quality-adjusted survival time than CP alone, indicating that dostarlimab+CP improves survival while preserving Q-TWiST.
