Abstract
Introduction/Background Favezelimab, an anti-lymphocyte-activation gene 3 antibody, plus the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, has shown promising antitumour activity in early-phase studies. MK-4280A is a coformulation of a fixed-dose combination of favezelimab+pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab+lenvatinib is a standard treatment for previously treated advanced endometrial cancer (EC) that is mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) in patients who are not candidates for surgery or radiation, based on results from the KEYNOTE-775 study. We describe cohort B of the MK-4280A-010 study (NCT06036836) evaluating MK-4280A+lenvatinib vs pembrolizumab+lenvatinib in previously treated pMMR advanced EC.
Methodology Cohort B of this phase 2, randomised, double-blind study is enrolling patients aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed stage IVB (per FIGO 2009 staging) recurrent/metastatic EC with PD after 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy (any setting; or 2 prior lines if 1 regimen received in neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting) and no prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. Patients must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 by investigator review, tumours with pMMR status per local testing, and must not be candidates for curative surgery or radiation. Approximately 80 patients (40/arm) will be randomised 1:1 (stratification: histology [nonendometrioid vs endometrioid]; prior therapy [adjuvant only vs treatment in metastatic setting]) to receive MK-4280A (favezelimab 800 mg with pembrolizumab 200 mg) IV Q3W + lenvatinib 20 mg orally QD or pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W + lenvatinib 20 mg orally QD. Treatment will continue for ≤35 cycles (lenvatinib may continue for >2 years in patients experiencing clinical benefit), or until PD or intolerable toxicity. Imaging occurs at weeks 6 and 12 from start of study treatment and Q9W thereafter. AEs are assessed throughout the study and graded per NCI CTCAE v5.0. Primary endpoint is ORR per RECIST v1.1 by investigator assessment. Secondary endpoints are OS; PFS and duration of response per RECIST v1.1 by investigator assessment; and safety. Enrolment began in September 2023.
