Tislelizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent Mismatch Repair Deficient Endometrial Cancer

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the effect of tislelizumab in treating patients with mismatch repair deficient endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) is a system for recognizing and repairing DNA errors and damage. Mismatch repair deficient tumors (dMMR) may have difficulty repairing DNA mutations during replication that may affect tumor's response to therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tislelizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving tislelizumab may help treat patients with mismatch repair deficient endometrial cancer.

• Active autoimmune diseases or history of autoimmune diseases that may relapse.

• Any active malignancy =< 2 years before first dose of study drug except for the specific cancer under investigation in this study and any locally recurring cancer that has been treated curatively (e.g., resected basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast)
