August 2021: Pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck) in combination with lenvatinib (Lenvima, Eisai) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma that is not microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), who have disease progression after prior systemic therapy in any setting and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation.

On September 17, 2019, the FDA awarded pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib expedited approval for advanced endometrial cancer. The multicenter, open-label, randomised, active-controlled study 309/KEYNOTE-775 (NCT03517449) was necessary to confirm the clinical benefit of this accelerated authorisation.

827 patients with advanced endometrial cancer were enrolled in Study 309/KEYNOTE-775, who had previously had at least one platinum-based chemotherapy regimen in any setting, including neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks with lenvatinib 20 mg orally once daily, or doxorubicin or paclitaxel, as determined by the investigator.

Progression-free survival (PFS), as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), and overall survival (OS) were the primary efficacy outcome measures. The objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), both assessed by the BICR, were additional efficacy outcome measures.

The median PFS for patients with advanced endometrial cancer that was not MSI-H or dMMR was 6.6 months (95 percent CI: 5.6, 7.4) for those receiving pembrolizumab and lenvatinib and 3.8 months (95 percent CI: 3.6, 5.0) for those receiving investigator’s choice chemotherapy (HR 0.60; 95 percent CI: 0.50, 0.72; p0.0001) for those receiving investigator’s choice chemotherapy. The median OS was 17.4 months (95 percent confidence interval: 14.2, 19.9) for men and 12.0 months (95 percent confidence interval: 10.8, 13.3) for women (HR 0.68; 95 percent confidence interval: 0.56, 0.84; p=0.0001). ORRs were 30% (95 percent confidence interval: 26, 36) and 15% (95 percent confidence interval: 12, 19), respectively (p0.0001). 9.2 months (1.6+, 23.7+) and 5.7 months (0.0+, 24.2+) were the median DORs.

Pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks with lenvatinib 20 mg orally once daily is the recommended dose for endometrial cancer.

Advancements in adoptive CAR immune cell immunotherapy synergistically combined with multimodal approaches for tumor treatment

CAR T cell therapy has transformed cancer treatment, especially in hematological malignancies. Treatment of solid tumors remains challenging due to their immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Combination with chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic viruses, and improved genetic engineering holds promise. Multimodal approaches enhance immune cell infiltration and persistence, raising efficacy. Evolving personalized methods will be instrumental in overcoming solid tumor resistance and improving patient outcomes.

How to prevent infections in patients receiving CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells for B-cell malignancies?

CAR T-cell therapy revolutionized cancer therapy, offering incredible success in the management of B-cell malignancies, but it is associated with severe infection risks secondary to immunosuppression. Preventive measures are pre-infusion screening, vaccination, and antimicrobial prophylaxis. Post-infusion, close surveillance for infection and cytokine release syndrome management are key. Long-term care includes the treatment of hypogammaglobulinemia, revaccination, and patient education. The approach ensures improved outcomes and reduces infection-related complications in patients receiving CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy.
