See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with advanced or recurrent endometrioid endometrial cancer that can't be cured by surgery or radiation. Participants may have had up to two prior treatments but not with anti-PD-1/L1 mAbs. They must have measurable disease, be in fair health (ECOG 0-2), and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Exclusions include certain other cancers, recent therapies, vaccines, surgeries, active infections, severe hypersensitivities, autoimmune diseases requiring treatment within the past two years, CNS metastases, and significant heart or gastrointestinal conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if DKN-01 (a DKK1 inhibitor) combined with pembrolizumab controls advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer better than current options. It's a Phase 2 trial where participants receive both drugs to see how effective this combination is against their cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions like inflammation of organs due to pembrolizumab; fatigue; digestive issues; skin reactions; hormonal changes causing thyroid problems; and potential infusion-related reactions from either drug.
