Abstract 858P
Background
PROs enable direct measurement of the experiences of pts with cancer related to an intervention. Regulators increasingly use PROs to inform the risks and benefits of new drug candidates, focusing on 3 core concepts: physical functioning (PF), disease-related symptoms (DRS), and symptomatic adverse events (AEs). Dostarlimab is an investigational anti–programmed death-1 monoclonal antibody that has shown activity in pts with advanced dMMR EC (objective response rate, 42%; disease control rate, 58%) and an acceptable safety profile. Here, we report on PROs in pts treated with dostarlimab in the single-arm GARNET trial.
Methods
Pts with recurrent or advanced dMMR/MSI-H EC that progressed on a platinum regimen received 500 mg Q3W*4 of dostarlimab, then 1000 mg Q6W until disease progression or discontinuation (DC). PRO assessment, an exploratory endpoint, was measured using the EORTC-QLQ-C30. PROs were collected at baseline (BL), each dose cycle, and after DC. For PF and DRS (pain and fatigue), we conducted multi-item descriptive analyses, including change from BL. For symptomatic AEs and tolerability (nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, tiredness/fatigue), we conducted item-level analyses to understand response distribution and change in response categories from BL: improved, stable, and 1-, 2-, or 3-category worsening.
Results
PRO data were available for 66/104 pts who received ≥1 dose of dostarlimab. Questionnaire compliance was consistent across domains, ranging from 100% at BL to 45% at cycle 7. Pain, fatigue, and PF were maintained above BL starting at cycles 1, 3, and 4, respectively. Symptomatic AEs were experienced by a minority of pts, with <25% and <6% of pts having 1- or ≥2-category worsening, respectively. Improved scores were reported by 6% to 37% of pts.
Conclusions
PROs from the GARNET trial showed that dostarlimab was generally well tolerated and disease-related symptoms were improved or maintained while on treatment. These data, along with the efficacy and safety profile of dostarlimab, support use of dostarlimab in pts with dMMR/MSI-H advanced EC.
