Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adult women whose endometrial (uterine) cancer has come back after earlier treatment. The cancer must show HER2 on testing.
- Age
- 18 years or older (or the minimum age set by local rules)
- Sex
- Women only
- Disease stage
- Recurrent endometrial cancer that can be measured on scans (RECIST v1.1). True sarcomas are not allowed; uterine carcinosarcoma is allowed.
- Earlier treatment
- Must have had an immune checkpoint inhibitor before. The cancer must have come back less than 12 months after platinum-based chemotherapy given after surgery for Stage I to III disease, or after platinum-based chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Cannot have had earlier topoisomerase I inhibitors, including ADCs.
- Biomarker or test result
- HER2 IHC score of 1+ or 2+ (Cohort 1), or 3+ (Cohort 2), by central laboratory testing
Main reasons for not taking part
- Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study or within 7 months after the last dose
- History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis that needed steroids, or current ILD/pneumonitis
- Left ventricular ejection fraction below 55%
- Uncontrolled infection needing systemic antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals within 2 weeks before the first dose
- Small bowel obstruction needing hospital care within the past 3 months
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 20 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Are female adults (defined as ≥18 years of age or acceptable age according to local regulations at the time of voluntarily giving informed consent)
- Have histologically confirmed endometrial cancer that:; Is recurrent,; Has a HER2 IHC score of 1+, 2+ (Cohort 1), or 3+ (Cohort 2) as determined by central laboratory testing for HER2 expression, and; Is not defined as a true sarcoma (i.e., leiomyosarcoma or endometrial stromal sarcoma). Note: Uterine carcinosarcoma is allowed
- Have measurable disease defined by RECIST v1.1
- Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2
- Have recurrent endometrial cancer and meet any of the following:; developed recurrence <12 months from completing platinum-based chemotherapy given as adjuvant therapy for Stage I to III disease, or; developed recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting
- Have received prior ICI treatment (i.e., anti-programmed death 1/anti-programmed death-ligand 1)
- Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks at screening
Who cannot take part
- Are ineligible for all options in the investigator's choice of chemotherapy arm, per local prescribing information and institutional guidelines (applicable to Cohort 1 only)
- Have a history of small bowel obstruction requiring hospitalization within the past 3 months prior the first dose of study treatment
- Have clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion, ascites or pericardial effusion requiring drainage, or peritoneal shunt within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Participants with prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, except for intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at doses of less than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent, and topical corticosteroids. Participants receiving corticosteroids may continue if the dose is stable upon giving main informed consent
- Have a lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illness including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (e.g., pulmonary emboli within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment, severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder with moderate acute exacerbations, restrictive lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, radiation pneumonitis, significant pleural effusion etc.), or any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorder with pulmonary involvement (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis etc.), and/or prior pneumonectomy (complete)
- Have uncontrolled infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Have unresolved toxicities from previous anti-cancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia, fatigue, or endocrinopathies that are well controlled) not yet resolved to Grade ≤1 or baseline
- Had prior treatment with topoisomerase I inhibitors, including ADCs
- Have an uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirement or substantially increase risk of incurring adverse events
- Have a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, have current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
- Have a history of allergies, hypersensitivities, or intolerance to study treatments (investigational medicinal products and auxiliary medicinal product) including any excipients thereof or to other monoclonal antibodies. Participants who have successfully undergone a desensitization process and are able to tolerate the drug are eligible
- Have left ventricular ejection fraction <55% by either echocardiography or multiple-gated acquisition within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. This includes participants with tissue doppler E/e' ratio >15; NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding or are planning pregnancy during the study or within 7 months after the last dose of study treatment

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The study is divided into two cohorts (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2), to which participants will be enrolled based on the amount of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in their tumor sample.
Read full original descriptionShow less
In Cohort 1, the main goal is to assess how well BNT323 (also known as DB-1303) or chemotherapy (doxorubicin or paclitaxel [or docetaxel, if participants cannot take paclitaxel]) works by determining the progression-free survival (PFS) of participants who have been previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
In Cohort 2, the main goal is to assess how well BNT323 works by determining the objective response rate (ORR), that is, the percentage of participants whose tumor shrinks (partial response) or disappears (complete response) after treatment.
The safety of BNT323 will also be assessed by following the occurrence of unfavorable/adverse effects that are seen after treatment. Other measures include the pharmacokinetics of BNT323 (or how BNT323 moves through and out of the body), the body's immune response, and the impact on quality of life.
The 3 groups in the trial
- Cohort 1 (HER2 IHC score 1+ or 2+): BNT323/DB-1303Treatment being tested
Treatment: BNT323/DB-1303
- Cohort 1 - Doxorubicin or paclitaxel (or docetaxel)Existing treatment, for comparison
Single agent chemotherapy (either doxorubicin or paclitaxel) per investigator's choice. Participants with contraindications to paclitaxel may receive docetaxel as an alternative (if available at the site).
Treatment: Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, and Docetaxel
- Cohort 2 (HER2 IHC score 3+) - BNT323/DB-1303Treatment being tested
Treatment: BNT323/DB-1303
