Prior treatment

• Patient has had ≥ 6 prior lines of chemotherapy. Surgery of the recurrence is allowed.
• Patient has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent.
• Patient has received prior anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapies, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy) within 21 days or \< 5 times the half-life of the most recent therapy prior to Study Day 1, whichever is shorter.
  • Note: Palliative radiation therapy to a small field ≥ 1 week prior to Day 1 of study treatment may be allowed after discussion with the SPONSOR.

• Patient has known uncontrolled central nervous system metastases, carcinomatosis meningitis, or both. Note: Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of disease progression by imaging \[using the identical imaging modality for each assessment, either MRI or CT scan\] for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and have not been using steroids for at least 7 days prior to study treatment. Carcinomatous meningitis precludes a patient from study participation regardless of clinical stability.
• Patient has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; HIV ½ antibodies). Participants with known human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) are allowed if they meet all of the following criteria:
  • Cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) ≥350/μL and viral load \<50 copies/mL.

  • No history of HIV-associated malignancy for the past 5 years.
  • Concurrent antiretroviral therapy as per the most current National Institutes of Health (NIH) Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV started \>4 weeks before study enrollment.
• Patient with presence of hepatitis B surface antigen or a positive hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months before first dose of dostarlimab treatment.
  • Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen positive may be enrolled if their HBV-DNA level is below the institutional lower limit.
  • Participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who meet the criteria for anti-HBV therapy may be eligible if the participant is on a suppressive antiviral therapy before initiation of cancer therapy.
  • Participants with positive hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can be enrolled only if a confirmatory negative hepatitis C RNA polymerase chain reaction is obtained. Hepatitis C participants may be eligible if they both have completed curative therapy and have a hepatitis C viral load \<!-- Not Allowed Tag Filtered --\>\<quantifiable limit.
• diagnosis immunodeficiency receiving steroid any other immunosuppressive within 7 days prior to first dose study treatment. Patients who have received acute and\>/or low-dose systemic immunosuppressive medications (e.g,, a one-time dose of dexamethasone for nausea or chronic use of ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or dose equivalent corticosteroid) may be enrolled in the study after discussion with and approval by the Sponsor. The use of inhaled corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone) is allowed.
• Patient has not recovered (to Grade ≤ 1) from previous anti-cancer therapy-induced adverse events (AEs).
  • Note: Patients with Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy, Grade ≤ 2 alopecia, or Grade ≤ 2 fatigue are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study.
• Patient has not recovered adequately from AEs or complications from any major surgery prior to starting therapy. Major surgical procedures, other than for diagnosis, within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
• Patient is currently participating and receiving study treatment or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study treatment or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
• Use of any of the following immunomodulatory agents within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug:
  • Interferons
  • Interleukins
  • Live vaccine Note: Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster, yellow fever, rabies, BCG, and typhoid vaccine. mRNA and adenoviral-based COVID-19 vaccines are considered non-live and are not exclusionary. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed as other killed vaccines, if done at least 2 weeks prior the first dose of study drug; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
• Patient who are pregnant or lactating, or plan to become pregnant or lactate during the expected duration of the study, from screening through 180 days after the last dose of study drug.

• Patients with evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation)
• Patients with current abdominal/pelvic fistula
