Add-on dostarlimab boosts PFS in endometrial cancer

19 Apr 2023 by

Adding dostarlimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, to standard-of-care chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, including those with dMMR-MSI-H* disease, according to the first interim analysis of the ENGOT-EN6-NSGO/GOG-3031/RUBY trial presented at SGO 2023.
